A Guide to Everyone Subpoenaed in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Lawsuit

As Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s It Ends With Us legal battle continues, their respective camps have sent subpoenas to several famous faces.

Lively named Baldoni, her costar and director on 2024’s It Ends With Us, in a lawsuit later that year. The Gossip Girl alum accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, fostering a hostile work environment and trying to destroy her reputation. Baldoni vehemently denied the accusations before filing a $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, as well as her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist, Lesley Sloane.

Lively, Reynolds and Sloane each rebuffed Baldoni’s claims and filed motions to dismiss. Us Weekly confirmed in June 2025 that a judge ruled to dismiss his suit. Baldoni later declined to submit an amended motion, instead planning to focus on defending himself from Lively’s claims.

Amid trial prep, both Lively and Baldwin’s legal teams have sent out subpoenas seeking evidence of the accusations. Keep scrolling to see which stars have been subpoenaed so far:

Baldoni sent a subpoena to Swift, Lively’s one-time close friend, in May 2025 amid claims that she helped the actress take over It Ends With Us production.

“Taylor has always been Blake’s friend, but Taylor doesn’t have any involvement in the case. She wasn’t part of the movie,” a source close to Swift told Us in February 2025. “Taylor was not a producer on the film and had no creative involvement.”

The summons was later dropped after information was “voluntarily provided” to Baldoni’s team.

“[Taylor is] not talking about the case,” a second insider told Us in May 2025, adding that the pop star is “feeling an immense sense of relief.”

“It’s been a stressful few weeks for her and she seems happier and lighter since the subpoena was dropped,” the second source added. “Taylor has handled it with a lot of grace and is not solely focused on it. She’s moved on.”

Us broke the news that month that Swift and Lively’s friendship stalled as a result of the legal battle.

A source confirmed to Us in June 2025 that Lively sent a subpoena to the music manager and his HYBE America company to identify any information about the work crisis PR veteran Melissa Nathan allegedly did for Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios. (Nathan was employed by Baldoni’s team for a month.)

TMZ reported in July 2025 that Owens received a subpoena from Lively’s team about any alleged communications with Baldoni.

“I haven’t received anything,” Owens claimed on her eponymous podcast that same week. “As of right now, I still cannot tell you anything [about the documents] because no process server has arrived at our door. … How could us covering the lawsuit that has already been filed [mean we’re involved]? We have nothing to do with your lawsuit. It’s our right to cover pop culture [and] whatever it is that we want as reporters.”

According to Owens, she has only mentioned Lively twice by name in her text messages  — once to praise her “flawless” pink diamond ring and another about plans to briefly discuss the lawsuit on a 2024 podcast episode.

TMZ also claimed in July 2025 that the gossip blogger was subpoenaed by Lively’s legal representatives.

“I take this very seriously,” Hilton said in a social media video. “I have not been served a subpoena yet, but I will comply with the law, and I have nothing to hide.”

The film producer was allegedly sent a summons by Lively’s team in July 2025.

“My client has not been served with any legal process at this time. He runs a news outlet and is in the midst of creating an independent documentary IT ENDS WITH JUSTICE that has spoken to many involved in the case,” his attorney Nathaniel Broughty told Us in a statement. “Should service occur, we intend to vigorously defend against any claims and will protect the confidentiality of sources on BOTH SIDES — consistent with the principles of press freedom and journalistic integrity.”
