Judge Lewis J. Liman has issued a decision over the latest allegations made by Justin Baldoni‘s legal team.

This week, Bryan Freedman, Justin‘s lawyer, claimed he had a source who alleged that Blake Lively‘s legal team had threatened to release Taylor Swift text messages should she not make a statement in support of her.

Blake‘s team moved to strike the letter submitted by Freedman, and her request was granted by the judge.

The decision, written by the judge, stated, “The Letter is improper and must be stricken. It is irrelevant to any issue before this Court.”

He continued, “The sole purpose of the Letter is to ‘promote public scandal’ by advancing inflammatory accusations, on information and belief, against Lively and her counsel; it transparently invites a press uproar by suggesting that Lively and her counsel attempted to ‘extort’ a well-known celebrity; retaining the Letter on the docket would serve no use to the Court and would allow the Court’s docket to serve as a ‘reservoir[] of libelous statements for press consumption.’”

A spokesperson for Blake told Just Jared, “It took the court less than 24 hours to see through Mr. Freedman‘s irrelevant, improper and inflammatory accusations, strike them, remove them from the court and warn Mr. Freedman that further misconduct may be met with sanctions.”

Blake‘s legal team had continued to deny these allegations, but Freedman doubled down today and revealed even more alleged info.
