Part 13/15:

The tense legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baloni has taken a new turn with Taylor Swift reportedly being deposed. Although details are scarce, her potential testimony indicates the importance of personal relationships in Hollywood disputes. Swift, a close friend and godmother to Lively’s child, has so far maintained silence but may be called to testify regarding alleged "ambush" or manipulative on-set behaviors.

The case emerged from claims about mismanagement and toxic environments on the set of "It Ends with Us." Text messages from co-stars suggest a culture of "toxic positivity"—an industry phenomenon where excessive cheerfulness is used to mask dissatisfaction or discomfort.
