Overview

• Blake Lively’s team withdrew subpoenas on July 26 for YouTubers Kassidy O’Connell, McKenzie Folks and Lauren Neidigh after they filed motions challenging the demands.
• The original subpoenas demanded private data from Google and X accounts, including bank and credit card records, to trace an alleged PR smear campaign by Baldoni’s team.
• Content creators argued in letters to the court that the subpoenas were harassing, intimidating and lacked a sound legal basis, prompting the withdrawals.
• Court filings state that sufficient information had already been provided by the three creators, though Lively continues discovery efforts against other content makers.
• Lively’s federal lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation remains on track for a trial beginning March 9, 2026.
