تايلور سويفت ترفض الشهادة بقضية ليفلي

In a notable development in the harassment case filed by American actress Blake Lively against actor and director Gaston Baldoni, global singer Taylor Swift announced her refusal to testify in the case unless a court order compels her to do so. Swift's lawyers confirmed that she is not a party to the dispute and that her subpoena to court aims to generate media attention more than being a legal matter. The case dates back to 2024 when Lively accused her colleague of sexual harassment and launching a smear campaign against her, while Baldoni attempted to file a counterclaim that was rejected last June. Baldoni's defense team is seeking access to the text messages exchanged between Lively and Swift as evidence in the case, but the latter denied agreeing to provide written testimony. Reports indicate that the friendship between the two women has been experiencing a cooling phase for about a year. The trial is expected to begin next March, while Swift is preparing to release her new album "The Life of a Showgirl" next October, complicating the situation further.
