Blake Lively has disputed the claim that Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman were present when her husband Ryan Reynolds confronted Justin Baldoni for 'fat-shaming' her.

In the Gossip Girl star's deposition released on Tuesday, Lively testified that only Reynolds, 49, was in the room at their New York City penthouse when she brought up the issue with Baldoni, 41, who had 'come to my office to work on script revisions', 

Lively claimed that her personal trainer, Don Saladino, told her Baldoni, 41, had asked 'behind my back' how much she would weigh when filming of their movie, It Ends With Us, was scheduled to begin - a question Baldoni said stemmed from concerns about his back issues.

'I raised his conversation with Saladino about my weight and conveyed that it was upsetting to me and that it felt invasive and inappropriate,' she testified about the meeting, which took place April 25, 2023.  

Lively - whose pal Swift reportedly called Baldoni a 'b***h' in catty text messages - said that Reynolds 'briefly walked over and joined our discussion.'

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Jackman, Swift, Baldoni, Reynolds, and Lively for comment. 

She went on to testify that their friend Jackman 'stopped by' to take Reynolds for lunch.

'He shook Baldoni's hand at the door, they exchanged niceties, and Jackman left with Reynolds,' Lively explained.

'No one but Baldoni, myself, and Reynolds was anywhere in our office during the discussion about Baldoni's inappropriate inquiries into my weight.' 

The testimony contradicted an exhibit which was unsealed in November, that outlined a timeline of the events sent from Wayfarer Studios co-founder Jamey Heath's team to Baldoni's publicist via email in July 2024.

The email, obtained by The Daily Mail, claimed Swift, 35, and Jackman were inside Reynolds' and Lively's penthouse when Reynolds 'unloaded' on a tearful Baldoni during a heated confrontation.

The document alleged that Baldoni went over to the penthouse, where Reynolds confronted him over 'how horrible it was that Justin would ask about a women's [sic] weight', claiming it was 'fat shaming Blake.'

Baldoni was 'completely embarrassed and apologized and even shared some tears' according to the document.

The confrontation occurred after Baldoni, Lively's co-star and director, asked her trainer about her weight before filming a scene in It Ends With Us where he needed to lift her.

The email stated that the pair's famous friend Swift and Jackman 'were also present in the apt at the time' of the meeting.

Lively sued Baldoni and others in December 2024, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation — claims that he denies. Their trial is set for March 2026.

Baldoni and his lawyers previously published a timeline of events from January 2019 to January 2024 on the public website thelawsuitinfo.com, releasing 168 pages of emails, text messages, and WhatsApp messages.

As per the website, Baldoni claimed he received advice on 'nutrition and exercise' and 'making special accommodations' for his back injury, multiple bulging discs and chronic pain.

As well as signing up to Saladino meal delivery service, Baldoni asked Saladino for advice on training his back muscles for a scene in which he had to lift Lively.

He also privately asked about Lively's weight, which he described as an inquiry made in 'good faith' and a 'reasonable question to ask of his trainer'.

In her amended complaint, Lively said she 'was humiliated to learn that Mr. Baldoni secretly called her fitness trainer without her knowledge or permission, and implied that he wanted her to lose weight in two weeks.'

In his $400 million countersuit — which has since been dismissed by the judge — Baldoni's lawyers explained that he contacted Lively's trainer 'to ask what Lively weighed so that he could train his back muscles in preparation for a lift scene.'

Swift — who has reportedly fallen out with Lively after being dragged into the legal drama — and Jackman were previously listed as potential witnesses by Lively's legal team.

Jackman showed support for Lively by attending the It Ends With Us premiere in New York City on August 9, 2024, posing with her and Reynolds. He also appeared with Lively on the cover of Vogue’s September 2024 issue.

It comes after Lively's catty texts with Swift were revealed as part of the lawsuit. The pair traded unflattering remarks about Baldoni.

According to court papers, Lively called Baldoni the 'doofus director of my movie' while Swift agreed to help her, saying: 'I'll do anything for you!'

After a meeting about changing the script, Lively called Swift the 'absolute greatest friend ever.'

In other texts, Swift gave Lively advice about using one of her songs in the film and suggested that Baldoni was not 'strategic.'

Just before a bombshell article in the New York Times outlining Lively’s claims was due to come out in December 2024, Swift told her friend: 'I think this b**** [Baldoni] knows something is coming because he's gotten out his tiny violin.'

The court papers also reveal that Lively bad-mouthed Baldoni to her other famous friends, including Matt Damon and his wife Lucy, and she allegedly told Ben Affleck that Baldoni was a 'chaotic clown.'

The texts were revealed in a lengthy court document filed in the federal court in New York in which Lively responded to dozens of claims made by Baldoni.

In the file, Baldoni’s lawyers wrote: ‘On April 12, 2023, Lively asked her friend, the world-famous musician Taylor Swift, for help.

‘Referring to Baldoni as "this doofus director of my movie," she went on to describe him as "a clown" who "thinks he’s a writer now."

‘She asked Swift to endorse the revised script she was proposing even without having read it.'

One text to the singer from Lively read: ‘You don’t have to read of course’.

Lively’s side disputed that she asked Swift to endorse the script without reading it, only that she ‘hoped she would’.

In another part, the court document states: ‘Swift agreed to do Lively’s bidding, texting Lively: "I’ll do anything for you !!"

‘Lively and Taylor Swift met with Baldoni at Lively’s apartment, where Swift endorsed the revised draft. Afterward, Lively wrote to Swift: ‘You were so epically heroic today. I recapped every moment to Ryan [Reynolds, Lively’s husband].

‘I kept remembering stuff. You making s*** up about me and lenses. And referring to yourself as my doll. This clown', an apparent reference to Baldoni, 'falling for all of it. But also resisting it. You are the world's absolute greatest friend ever.'

In their response, Lively’s side disputed that Swift agreed to do Lively’s ‘bidding.'

Baldoni’s lawyers also alleged that Lively ‘told famous friends, including Matt Damon, Lucy Damon, and Ben Affleck that she "rewrote the script. I directed every actor."'

Baldoni has claimed that Lively took over the film and rewrote entire scenes with the help of Reynolds.

Swift's representative previously emphasized that she had no involvement with the film, stating: 'Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history.'

'The connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, "My Tears Ricochet,"' her representative added.

He said Swift's name was being used 'to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case.'
