Blake/Taylor rift intentional to a bigger plot?

If you think of throwing any idea out there for Blake to settle the case without admitting it was due to lack of evidence… saving your 10 year friendship would be a solid one. Especially when that friend is one of the most famous people in the world. Think about it: “The thought of dragging my best friend into this and the many others who would experience the horrible online attacks and negative press that I have endured these past few weeks was enough for me to throw in the sword and end the lawsuit madness. I wish we had progressed more as a society and could stand for women, but it’s heartbreaking to see that isn’t the case. I can’t destroy the ones closest to me fighting a battle so dehumanizing.” [insert massive eye roll]

It’s a very tactical spin, but it might just work?
