‘It Ends With Us' actress Isabela Ferrer accuses Justin Baldoni of ‘harassing' subpoenas
Late last year, the 'Gossip Girl' alum, 37, accused 41-year-old Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set of 'It Ends With Us' and waging a retaliatory smear campaign. Baldoni denied all of Lively's allegations in a $400 million defamation countersuit that has since been tossed. Lively's case is still set to go to trial in New York next March.
Ferrer, 24, has now filed a rebuttal to Baldoni's Aug. 12 motion, in which he dubbed her unresponsive to his multiple attempts to issue a subpoena, People reports.
Lively subpoenaed Ferrer in February in relation to the Baldoni legal battle.
This prompted Ferrer to call on Baldoni's Wayfarer Studios to pay her legal fees through an indemnification clause, which the latter allegedly only agreed to uphold if Ferrer would 'surrender control' of her response to Lively's subpoena.
Agreeing to that stipulation would 'not actually [allow] Ms. Ferrer to provide the documents that reveal the true facts,' according to her filing.
Instead, she says it was 'a transparent attempt to put financial pressure' on her and that once she did respond to Lively's subpoena, the Baldoni parties began 'improperly attempting to exert control over' her.
'Baldoni made no effort to tailor the [new] subpoena towards the production of new or different materials, demonstrating that the real aim of the Baldoni Subpoena, as well as the pending Motion, is to harass Ms. Ferrer,' she alleges, per People.
Ferrer wants the Aug. 12 motion denied and called on the court to 'consider appropriate sanctions against Baldoni for his bad faith tactics,' dubbing that motion 'the latest in a broader pattern of conduct by Baldoni to bully Ms. Ferrer,' according to Rolling Stone.
Just last month, Lively sat for her long-awaited deposition in the case, which took place at her lawyer's office in New York City and was attended by Baldoni.

Jonas Brothers Haven't Seen An Album Peak So Low In Almost 20 Years
The Jonas Brothers are back on the charts in America with a brand new album. The sibling trio released Greetings from Your Hometown in early August, and this frame, the set launches on several tallies. While the project is certainly another win for the Grammy-nominated act, Greetings from Your Hometown has not turned out to be quite the commercial success that the group is used to. The Jonas Brothers Launch Inside the Top 10 The Jonas Brothers debut Greetings from Your Hometown at No. 6 on the Billboard 200. The band earns its eighth top 10 on the ranking of the most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the country, as Greetings from Your Hometown shifted 39,400 equivalent units between pure purchases and streaming equivalent copies, according to Luminate. A Low the Band Hasn't Seen in Almost Two Decades No. 6 is a fair starting point for most musical acts, but it's lower than the Jonas Brothers are accustomed to. In fact, the band hasn't seen a proper full-length peak so low in almost 20 years. Only It's About Time, the first Jonas Brothers project, stalled in an even lower slot. That title, which arrived in August 2006, only climbed to No. 91. Five Top Fives for the Jonas Brothers Since It's About Time, all five albums released by the brothers have cracked the top five on the Billboard 200. Jonas Brothers, the group's self-titled effort, reached No. 5. Follow-ups A Little Bit Longer, Lines, Vines and Trying Times, and Happiness Begins all reached No. 1. In 2023, the Jonas Brothers returned with the simply-titled The Album,which made it to No. 3 on the Billboard 200. A Second Top 10 Vinyl for the Jonas Brothers Greetings from Your Hometown also manages to kick off its time in sixth place on the Vinyl Albums list. The Jonas Brothers have only reached that format-specific ranking twice, as The Album opened and peaked at No. 4 a little over two years ago. Greetings from Your Hometown is a Bestseller The Jonas Brothers launch in an even loftier position on the Top Album Sales chart, which looks specifically at purchases on any format. Greetings from Your Hometown kicks off its time on that list at No. 3, becoming the band's eighth placement inside the highest region.
