But this week came a postponement: the legal team of Baldoni – led by lawyer Bryan Freedman – brought the summons dramatically and moved in for Swift.

Far from a humiliation for Team Baldoni, however, the Daily Mail understands that it was just the case that they already had what they were looking for.

And that is because, a nameless insider in the inner circle of Swift, reportedly documented evidence to Freedman and Co delivered about how Lively’s lawyers had ‘The private changes of the actress threatened to leak’ with SwiftIn a failed attempt to force the singer to publicly choose Baldoni with her.

In a statement to People Magazine, Gottlieb, described the suggestion that Lively Swift’s lawyers had threatened as ‘categorically untrue’.
