Massive New Leaks Reveal Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman Witnessed Explosive Confrontation in Reynolds–Lively Penthouse

In a stunning Thanksgiving-day twist, newly unsealed documents have revealed bombshell information about the ongoing legal battle surrounding Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, and the behind-the-scenes chaos on the production of It Ends With Us. What was originally believed to be a heated private argument has now been exposed as something far bigger—and far more star-studded—than anyone imagined.

According to recently released filings, Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman were present during the now-infamous confrontation in Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s penthouse, where Reynolds allegedly spent five to six hours yelling at actor-director Justin Baldoni over accusations of “fat-shaming” Blake.

This revelation came from a detailed timeline prepared by Justin Baldoni’s publicist, Jennifer Ael, which was sent to producer Melissa Nason after the film’s premiere. The document, now unsealed, outlines the escalating tension between Lively and Baldoni long before production even began.

Judge Orders Major Transparency

Earlier today, the judge overseeing the case ordered a large batch of documents—text messages, emails, voicemails, recordings, and metadata—to be unsealed by December 3rd, with only minimal redactions for personal information. According to the court, the public “deserves to know the truth,” especially given the magnitude of the evidence.

The judge, who has been perceived as leaning toward Lively’s side in the past, now appears firmly in favor of transparency. He has already reviewed all the sealed evidence, suggesting that what’s coming next could be case-shifting.

Swift & Jackman’s Hidden Presence

Until now, the public believed the penthouse confrontation was attended only by Reynolds, Lively, Baldoni, producer Jamie Heath, a Sony representative, and a few others.

However, the timeline reveals a shocking detail:

Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman were also in the penthouse for the full five-to-six-hour confrontation.

Their presence raises questions about how deeply they were involved—and whether their involvement was intentionally concealed to avoid public scrutiny. Swift previously claimed she “accidentally” walked into a different meeting involving Baldoni and Lively, but this new information contradicts that narrative entirely.

It now appears she may have been closely connected to the tensions from the very beginning.

A Confrontation Before Filming Even Began

One of the most surprising revelations is the timing of the blow-up. The confrontation occurred around April 25, 2023—a full ten days before filming even started.

That means the cast and crew were forced to begin production after a marathon shouting session where the film’s male lead and male producer were attacked for hours in front of A-list witnesses.

According to Heath’s deposition, Baldoni was left “emotional, teary-eyed, and shell-shocked,” believing he was being falsely accused and unable to defend himself in the moment.

Within days, TMZ published a story accusing Baldoni of “fat-shaming” Lively—leaks that the timeline strongly suggests came from Lively’s camp.

Name Tags, Power Struggles, and Rising Tension

The timeline also documents Blake Lively requesting that every crew member wear photo name tags, a requirement described as “standard protocol” by Lively—but one that no one else on set recognized as normal practice. Wafer, the company overseeing production, ultimately complied.

Over the following weeks, according to the timeline, Lively allegedly:

increasingly took control over creative decisions
removed or pressured out multiple staff members
dictated major production changes
exerted influence far beyond the usual scope for an actor

The timeline emphasizes that this takeover began before the cameras even rolled.

Metadata May Reveal Deleted Evidence

One of the most anticipated revelations in the upcoming document release is the metadata associated with Lively’s digital communication. The judge’s order allows metadata to be unsealed, meaning the public may soon learn whether any messages, emails, or files were deleted.

This could directly contradict Lively’s accusations that Baldoni’s team engaged in message deletion—an allegation the timeline does not currently support.

What This Means for Everyone Involved

The new revelations place multiple public figures in complicated positions:

Taylor Swift

She now appears more involved than previously acknowledged, raising questions about what role she played—and why her presence was concealed.

Hugh Jackman

Jackman, who has been working to rehabilitate his public image after personal controversies, now faces renewed public scrutiny for being present during a highly controversial confrontation.

The documents suggest Reynolds took an aggressive leadership role in attacking Baldoni, while Lively systematically consolidated power on set.

Justin Baldoni

If upcoming evidence supports his version of events, this could dramatically shift public opinion in his favor.
