Blake Lively Denies Subpoenaing Megyn Kelly as Discovery Fight Escalates in Baldoni Case

Lively’s camp calls its wide-ranging record requests routine discovery to prove an alleged retaliation campaign before the March 2026 trial.

Overview

  • Megyn Kelly said on her SiriusXM show that Lively "targeted" her with a subpoena seeking confidential materials and claimed Lively backed down after missing a deadline, adding she turned over no records.
  • A spokesperson for Lively stated that no subpoena has been served on Kelly at any point in the litigation.
  • Deadline reported Lively’s team subpoenaed Red Seat Ventures in June, a firm that provides services to creators including Kelly, with that effort later curtailed by Lively’s lawyers.
  • Lively’s team says it is pursuing texts, emails and invoices to support allegations of harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign involving Justin Baldoni, Jed Wallace, Melissa Nathan and Wayfarer parties.
  • Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit was dismissed on June 9, and the case is set for trial on March 9, 2026, as discovery disputes and protective-order issues continue in federal court in New York.
