After Taylor Swift, another A-list celebrity ditches Blake Lively amid Justin Baldoni lawsuit; here's who she is

Blake Lively's inner circle appears to be shrinking rapidly. Tensions have risen since her legal battle with Justin Baldoni, and even her former closest allies are backing away.

Many A-list celebrities have ditched Blake Lively and are trying to distance themselves from the messy courtroom drama. For instance, Taylor Swift is no longer in touch, and now apparently Gigi Hadid is rumoured to have cut ties, putting Lively's A-list friendships under strain.

What caused the fallout between Blake Lively and her inner circle?

Blake Lively is reportedly losing friends as her legal battle with Justin Baldoni intensifies. Even Blake Lively's most devoted friends seem to be abandoning the once-adored actress in the midst of her bitter legal battle with Justin Baldoni, making it seem like she is more alone than ever, as per a report by the Daily Mail.


Her former best friend, Taylor Swift, hasn't been spotted with Lively in months as she gets ready to face her It Ends With Us co-star in court over claims of sexual harassment.

Now, it appears that Swift's devoted fan base is doing the same. Model Gigi Hadid is one of them; she seems to have iced Lively out. Swift's friends are supporting the pop star and abandoning Lively to fend for herself, as per a report by the Daily Mail.

When the runway star celebrated her 30th birthday last month with a suitably star-studded party at New York's Alpine-themed cocktail bar Le Chalet, it was the clearest sign of tensions between Hadid and Lively.

Actress Anne Hathaway, Hadid's mother and father, Yolanda and Mohamed Hadid, her model sister Bella Hadid, and her 50-year-old boyfriend, Bradley Cooper, were among the guests.

However, Blake Lively was conspicuously missing, and an insider claimed that Lively's reason is that Hadid "is no longer friends with her."

A source previously told the Daily Mail that Swift, who is the godmother of Lively's three daughters, 'felt used' by her friend and subsequently stepped back' from their relationship.

Swift is still "not in communication with Blake, despite reports suggesting otherwise," and Hadid "has not spoken to Blake for several months,” as per a report.

Who else has abandoned Blake Lively amidst her legal controversy?

Hadid isn't the only member of Swift's team to break off contact with Lively, particularly after it was revealed that the pop star would be subpoenaed amid the intensifying legal dispute.

The last time Lively and Hadid spoke is thought to have been during a pool party Swift hosted at her Rhode Island mansion back in August.

Despite their past inseparability, Swift's NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce publicly unfollowed Lively's husband last month.

During the mass detachment, Swift's long-time friend, singer Selena Gomez, feels vindicated, according to insiders who told the Daily Mail that she 'warned' Swift about Lively for years.

According to reports, Colleen Hoover, the author of It Ends With Us, is stepping back from the drama and is concerned about her future projects after her first film adaptation became embroiled in a legal dispute.

Jenny Slate, an actress from It Ends With Us, is also avoiding the public turmoil that her co-stars are experiencing. But one of them seems to be faltering.

Lively and Anna Kendrick's relationship seemed strained during the promotional tour for Another Simple Favour, and the latter never voiced any support.

Who has publicly supported Blake Lively?

Some celebrities have hurried to support her, even though they are separating. One of them is Michele Morrone, who costarred with Lively in Another Simple Favour and has shared photos of herself with Reynolds in recent weeks. Georgina Chapman and Demi Moore have also been encouraging during her trying period in the spotlight.
