Taylor Swift subpoena withdrawn in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal feud
Taylor Swift has officially been removed from the ongoing legal dispute between actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
Baldoni, star and director of It Ends With Us, has withdrawn a subpoena previously served to Swift, effectively ending her direct involvement in the case.
The subpoena had sought information about Swift's knowledge of alleged misconduct between her friend Blake Lively and Baldoni during the production of the film. However, according to sources, relevant details were already provided, prompting Baldoni's team to withdraw the request.
A spokesperson for Lively welcomed the move, describing the subpoena as 'harassing' and praising Swift's legal team's efforts to quash it. The spokesperson also criticized Baldoni's team for attempting to use Swift's celebrity status to sway public opinion, pointing to internal documents suggesting plans to manipulate media narratives using Swift's name.
The feud between Lively and Baldoni stems from Lively's December 2024 complaint to California's Civil Rights Department, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation. The legal battle has since escalated, with countersuits, PR disputes, and multiple parties involved.
While Swift's subpoena has been withdrawn, her name may continue to surface as the case moves toward a federal court date in March 2026. As tensions rise and public interest grows, the legal dispute shows no signs of slowing.

Judge dismisses Blake Lively emotional distress claims against Justin Baldoni
A federal judge has ruled that Blake Lively's claims for emotional distress against Justin Baldoni will no longer be considered in their ongoing legal battle. The decision comes amid heated exchanges between the parties over Lively's refusal to turn over medical records relevant to the emotional distress allegations. U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman denied Baldoni's motion to compel Lively to provide a HIPAA release for access to therapy notes and other medical documents. The judge's order was based on Lively's representation that she intends to withdraw those specific claims. However, the court declined Lively's request to dismiss the claims without prejudice — meaning she could potentially refile them later — without a formal agreement with Baldoni's side. If the claims are not dismissed, the court will bar Lively from presenting any emotional distress evidence. According to court filings, Baldoni's attorneys argued that Lively sought to drop the emotional distress claims without releasing her medical information, thereby preventing the defense from disproving those claims. They accused Lively of attempting to preserve the right to refile after discovery closes while refusing to disclose evidence. Lively's legal team, led by Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, dismissed the motion as a 'press stunt' and criticized Baldoni's lawyers for abusing court procedures. They stated that Lively's withdrawal of the claims was voluntary and that she still intends to pursue emotional distress damages through other allegations, including sexual harassment and retaliation. The dispute arises from a lawsuit filed by Lively in the Southern District of New York, where she alleges Baldoni sexually harassed her on the set of the 2024 film It Ends With Us and retaliated against her with a smear campaign. Baldoni has countersued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, seeking $400 million in damages for extortion and defamation tied to a New York Times article. Currently, six related lawsuits concerning the events surrounding the film are active across various courts. The ruling marks a significant development in this complex, high-profile legal conflict.

Blake Lively says emotional distress claims against Justin Baldoni remain amid conflicting statements
Blake Lively is refuting claims that she has dropped her emotional distress allegations against It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni, despite statements from his legal team and email exchanges indicating otherwise. The dispute centres on her 10th and 11th causes of action, related to intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, filed in her December 31 lawsuit. In a letter to Judge Lewis J. Liman, Baldoni's lawyer Kevin Fitz of Meister Seelig & Fein stated, 'Ms. Lively's counsel recently advised us, in writing, that Ms. Lively is withdrawing her IED Claims.' The claims are linked to a broader request by Baldoni's team for medical and mental health records, including HIPAA authorisations. Lively's team responded firmly, rejecting this as a misrepresentation. Her attorneys, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, said, 'This is a routine part of the litigation process that is being used as a press stunt,' adding that Lively 'continues to allege emotional distress' through other claims, including sexual harassment and retaliation. Baldoni's lawyers argue that Lively must either dismiss the emotional distress claims with prejudice—preventing refiling—or comply with discovery requests. 'She can't have it both ways,' Fitz asserted, asking the court to compel Lively to produce medical documentation. Lively's legal team has not confirmed whether an amended complaint is forthcoming. They maintain her core claims and potential for further damages remain active and substantial under California law. With a trial date set for March 9 2026 and damages exceeding $400 million at stake, the legal back-and-forth continues to unfold.
