Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman were reportedly present during a heated confrontation between Ryan Reynolds and Justin Baldoni, according to newly obtained court documents.
The incident took place inside Reynolds’ New York City penthouse on April 25, 2023, and was sparked by a comment Baldoni allegedly made about Blake Lively’s weight, which Reynolds perceived as fat-shaming.
The documents detail an intense exchange, with Reynolds directly confronting Baldoni. The situation escalated emotionally, and Baldoni reportedly apologized, becoming visibly upset during the encounter. Swift and Jackman were reportedly on-site as the drama unfolded, witnessing the tense moment firsthand.
A source close to Swift clarified that she had not been aware of the meeting beforehand. Swift reportedly arrived at Lively’s residence on Blake’s request and walked in toward the end of the two-hour confrontation, meeting Baldoni for the first and only time. According to the source, Swift expressed excitement to see the movie, referring to Baldoni as her friend’s boss, and had no involvement in the dispute.
This confrontation has become a central element in the ongoing legal battle surrounding the film It Ends With Us. Blake Lively is suing Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment on set, claims he has strongly denied. The case is set to proceed to trial in March 2026, with this incident now being examined as part of the evidence.
The high-profile nature of the dispute, combined with the presence of A-list celebrities like Swift and Jackman, has drawn significant media attention and highlighted the complex dynamics behind Hollywood productions and legal disputes involving major stars.
