Candace Owens and Tim Dillon recently alleged that Taylor Swift and her mother would leave "threatening" messages on pop stars' phones. On April 26, 2025, political commentator Candace Owens appeared on The Tim Dillon Show and discussed the Lively-Baldoni lawsuit.

For the unversed, Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni, accusing him of s*xual harassment and launching a smear campaign against her. Baldoni denied the allegations and filed a countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, accusing them of defamation.

Owens expressed her support for Baldoni. She also claimed to have a "superhuman skill" to read people, which prompted her to mistrust Lively. She added that Lively's friendship with Taylor Swift further deepened her suspicion.

"Blake Lively, your best friend is Taylor Swift - don't trust that one."

More about Candace Owens' comments about Taylor Swift

According to the Hindustan Times, Candace Owens claimed that Blake Lively used her close friendship with Taylor Swift to enlist high-profile journalists in an alleged smear campaign against It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni.

Owens specifically named New York Times journalists Megan Twohey and Ronan Farrow for allegedly discrediting Baldoni. Owens referenced Swift’s friendship with Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Ronan Farrow, suggesting that the pop star’s fame would have aided Lively in gaining media support for her allegations against Baldoni.

She also claimed that Farrow, who is widely famous for his exposés on s*xual misconduct, might have been used to help promote Lively’s accusations against Baldoni.

Owens has previously criticized Hollywood’s influence on social movements like #MeToo. He also commented on a New York Times article by Megan Twohey about Lively’s claims against Baldoni, calling it a “take-down” piece meant to harm Baldoni’s reputation.

Following the article's publication, Baldoni sued the newspaper for $250 million, claiming promissory fraud.
