A recent court exhibit has revealed that Taylor Swift was present during a confrontation between actors Ryan Reynolds and Justin Baldoni. This incident reportedly took place in April 2023 at Reynolds and Blake Lively’s penthouse in New York City. The confrontation arose from concerns about comments Baldoni allegedly made regarding a woman’s weight, placing Swift in the role of a witness rather than an active participant.
According to details shared by **People**, an email timeline submitted in a legal case indicates that Reynolds confronted Baldoni about the inappropriateness of his comments. He reportedly expressed strong disapproval, stating, “How dare you f—ing ask about my wife’s weight? What’s wrong with you?” The email suggests that Reynolds felt so passionately about the matter that he “unloaded” on Baldoni, expressing how “horrible” it was to bring up such a sensitive topic.
The document also mentions that **Hugh Jackman** was present during the encounter. Sources indicate that Baldoni later expressed regret over his comments, offering “repeated” apologies and even becoming emotional during the exchange. His attorney, **Bryan Freedman**, described Reynolds’ demeanor as “angry,” “stern,” and “impassioned,” while clarifying that Reynolds did not “aggressively berate” Baldoni.
Swift’s involvement in this incident has drawn attention, prompting her team to clarify her role in the matter. A representative stated, “Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie,” emphasizing that she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions. The representative noted that her connection to the film was limited to granting permission for one song, “My Tears Ricochet.” The statement also criticized the use of Swift’s name in the context of this legal dispute, suggesting it serves as “tabloid clickbait” rather than focusing on the merits of the case.
The ongoing legal dispute centers on a lawsuit filed by **Blake Lively** against Baldoni and others, which is scheduled for trial in March 2026. Although Baldoni attempted to file a countersuit, it was dismissed by a judge. Despite Swift’s distancing from the controversy, both she and Jackman remain potential witnesses in the case, indicating that the details surrounding the confrontation may emerge again in court.
As this legal battle continues, the timeline of events presents Swift as an observer, highlighting her distance from the issues at hand while illustrating the intensity of the situation between Reynolds and Baldoni.
