A federal judge warned Justin Baldoni's lawyers do not legally manipulate, saying it could be aimed at "promoting scandals caused by unproven statements of potential sexual desire."

U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman striked a letter from the court case file Thursday, representing Baldoni, accusing Blake Lively's legal team of trying to blackmail Taylor Swift. Freedman claims the actress's lawyer contacted the law firm at the law firm representing the singer and asked Swift to issue a public statement to support the actress and post a personal text in Lively's ownership under the threat of denying the request.

“The lawyers were told that future abuse of court case files could be subject to sanctions,” Leman wrote.

In a letter filed on Wednesday, Freedman said Swift’s representative gave Lively’s legal team in at least one written message, “to address these inappropriate and apparently blackmail threats.” He moved into these newsletters as they confirmed the claims of vividly intimidating and coercing witnesses in the vast legal battle. Other details did not provide anonymous sources "very likely to have reliable information".

Lively's attorney Michael Gottlieb denied the charges.

In its ruling on Thursday, the court stressed that it has the right to strike in cases of “abuse” and “inappropriate”. He said the letter caused a commotion, suggesting Lively and her attorneys were trying to blackmail high-profile celebrities. Leman wrote that allowing the application position would make the court's case file a "slanderous statement of news consumption."

Lively's lawyers argued that Baldoni's legal team filed defamatory charges about the actress through the case. Under New York law, journalistic liability related to reports related to submissions and litigation proceedings is exempt from liability.

The lively representative declined to comment.

The letter was submitted a few days after Swift was summoned by the Baldoni legal team.
