Perez Hilton Speaks Out After Blake Lively Drops Her Subpoena Against Him Amid Legal Battle With Justin Baldoni

by

The ongoing legal dispute between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively continues to unfold, drawing in various individuals like Perez Hilton. This summer, he found himself facing a subpoena from Baldoni’s team. However, recently, that subpoena has been withdrawn, prompting Perez Hilton to share his thoughts on the matter publicly.

Perez Hilton’s strong opposition to the subpoena has led to its dismissal, as reported by Page Six from court documents. It appears that Blake Lively reached out for assistance shortly after the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada began representing Hilton. In response to this decision, the writer expressed his thoughts.

With absolute conviction, I can say that if the ACLU of Nevada hadn’t decided to take my case and hadn’t contacted her legal team about it yesterday, Blake would undoubtedly still be pushing for the subpoena. However, they chose to withdraw today, following their phone call yesterday.

In July, Hilton received a subpoena. Approximately a month later, around the anniversary of the theatrical release of “It Ends With Us,” a judge issued a ruling concerning letters filed by Hilton, which prohibited him from using disrespectful and intemperate language in his filings, among other things. The blogger announced he would comply with the order, and for quite some time, he represented himself.

This series of events unfolded as a result of Lively’s claim that Hilton and Justin Baldoni conspired to launch a defamatory campaign against her. However, in an interview with Page Six prior to the hearing, Hilton denied any involvement, stating that no one instructed him to write anything negative about her and that he was not compensated for it. Furthermore, he expressed his disapproval of the subpoena itself.

I am not currently facing any lawsuits, but I have been served with a subpoena that is problematic for me. This subpoena is excessively broad and it demands information that is protected under journalistic privileges, such as my sources and work product. These are confidential materials that are meant to be shielded from disclosure, as they are essential for the practice of journalism.

This paraphrase preserves the original message while making it clearer and more accessible to a broader audience. It provides more context about the subpoena’s problematic nature and emphasizes the importance of protecting journalistic privileges.

The subpoena against them has been withdrawn, but the legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni is far from resolved. A trial is scheduled for March 2026.

In this ongoing situation, it’s worth noting that Hilton isn’t the only prominent figure involved. Megyn Kelly openly discussed an actress trying to summon her, while another actress, Isabela Ferrer, who portrayed a young character similar to Livley’s in the movie “It Ends With Us“, was subpoenaed by both legal teams engaged in this case.

Beyond these matters, there’s been ongoing speculation regarding Taylor Swift’s potential involvement and her alleged sentiments towards it. As per the most recent updates from the BBC, it appears she has declined to give a deposition.

In the ongoing scenario, we’ll make sure to inform you about any new individuals involved in the legal matter. Previously, Baldoni’s lawsuits were dropped during the summer, while the director and Lively are scheduled to appear in court in early 2023, as previously mentioned.
