Overview

  • Ferrer filed a court rebuttal asking a judge to deny Baldoni’s Aug. 12 motion and to impose sanctions, alleging bad‑faith tactics and harassment.
  • Baldoni’s team says it subpoenaed Ferrer in July for materials not covered or produced under Blake Lively’s February subpoena and disputes that serving a subpoena is harassment.
  • Ferrer asserts she already produced relevant communications to Lively and argues Baldoni’s demands substantially overlap, risking exposure of personal addresses and applying financial pressure through conditional indemnity.
  • In a new filing, Baldoni’s lawyers call Ferrer’s opposition an inappropriate attack, seek permission for alternative service, and propose that no party use Ferrer’s communications or testimony in the case.
  • The discovery clash unfolds within Lively’s broader sexual‑harassment and retaliation suit against Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios, after his $400 million countersuit was dismissed in June.
