Blake Lively Denies Subpoenaing Megyn Kelly as Kelly Says She Beat a Records Demand

The clash underscores a widening discovery battle that touches media outlets ahead of a 2026 trial.

Overview

  • Kelly said on her SiriusXM show that she was targeted with a subpoena and that her team provided no documents or communications.
  • A Lively spokesperson stated that no subpoena was served on Kelly, describing ongoing evidence-gathering as standard discovery to support Lively’s retaliation claims against Justin Baldoni and associates.
  • Deadline reported that Lively’s team subpoenaed Red Seat Ventures, a firm that worked with Kelly’s show, which Kelly says specifically named her and her program.
  • Kelly alleged Lively sought materials from more than a dozen journalists and creators, including Candace Owens, Perez Hilton and Zack Peters; Hilton told Page Six he is representing himself with a hearing set for Sept. 2.
  • Lively sued Baldoni in December 2024 for sexual harassment and retaliation, Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit was dismissed in June, and a federal trial is scheduled for March 9, 2026.
