A newly unsealed email from the Wayfarer team claims Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman witnessed Ryan Reynolds confronting Justin Baldoni
This was during an April 2023 meeting when Reynolds allegedly "unloaded" on Baldoni over Blake Lively's fat-shaming concerns
Lively's lawsuit with Baldoni is set to go to trial in March 2026
Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman were allegedly in the room when Ryan Reynolds confronted Justin Baldoni over Blake Lively's It Ends With Us fat-shaming concerns.
Within a newly unsealed exhibit in the ongoing legal battle is a timeline of events sent from Wayfarer Studios co-founder Jamey Heath's team to Baldoni's publicist over email in July 2024.
According to the document, on April 25, 2023, Baldoni went to Reynolds and Lively's New York City penthouse and Reynolds "unloaded" on Baldoni about "how horrible it was" that he would ask about a woman's weight. They allegedly claimed that Baldoni "was fat shaming Blake," and Baldoni was "completely embarrassed and apologized and even shared some tears."
The recap listed that the couple's famous pals Swift, 35, and Jackman, 57, "were also present in the apt at the time" of the meeting.
Reps for Swift and Jackman did not respond to PEOPLE's requests for comment.

Lively, 38, sued her costar-director Baldoni, 41, and others in December 2024, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation, which he denies. Their trial is set for March 2026.
Swift and Jackman are among the names of potential witnesses previously listed by Lively's legal team.
Jackman supported Lively by attending the Aug. 9, 2024, premiere of It Ends With Us in New York City, posing with the actress and Reynolds, 49. He and Lively also starred together on the cover of Vogue's September 2024 issue.
Swift's name has come up elsewhere in the ongoing legal battle, and Baldoni's lawyers attempted to subpoena her in May.
The singer's rep distanced her from the film at the time, saying in a statement: "Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history."

"The connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, 'My Tears Ricochet,' " her rep added, saying Swift's name was being used "to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case."
In her amended complaint, Lively's lawyers accused Baldoni of "finding back-channel ways of criticizing her body and weight" during production of the film. Lively "was humiliated to learn that Mr. Baldoni secretly called her fitness trainer without her knowledge or permission, and implied that he wanted her to lose weight in two weeks," alleged her complaint.
In his $400 million countersuit — which has since been dismissed by the judge — Baldoni's attorneys explained that he contacted Lively's trainer "to ask what Lively weighed so that he could train his back muscles in preparation for a lift scene." Baldoni wanted to "avoid injury" since he "suffered from lifelong back injuries."
During the April 2023 meeting, according to Baldoni's complaint, an "angry" Reynolds "screamed at Baldoni and accused him of fat-shaming his wife," allegedly saying to Baldoni, "How dare you f---ing ask about my wife's weight? What's wrong with you?"
Baldoni's lawyers added that the "confrontation by Reynolds and Lively was so aggressive that Baldoni felt he had no choice but to offer repeated (and completely unwarranted) apologies for what was a good faith and reasonable question to ask" the trainer.
Baldoni also accused Reynolds of "berating" him in a January 2024 meeting. His attorney Bryan Freedman later told Page Six that Reynolds was "angry," "stern" and "impassioned" during the meeting with Baldoni but clarified that Reynolds did not "aggressively berate" him: "The definition of berate is to scold or criticize angrily."
