Judge Rules Blake Lively’s Subpoena for Justin Baldoni’s Phone Records Too Broad

Blake Lively must narrow her request for phone records in her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, citing privacy concerns and lack of relevance to the case timeline.

A federal judge partially granted and partially denied Blake Lively’s subpoena for phone records related to her sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni and his defamation countersuit.
The judge ruled that Lively’s request for phone records dating back to 2022 was overly broad, as the alleged smear campaign against her began in August 2024.
Lively is permitted to make more specific discovery requests targeting individuals already identified in her complaint, including those accused of participating in the alleged smear campaign.
Baldoni’s legal team argued the subpoena violated privacy rights, with the court agreeing that sensitive information unrelated to the case could be exposed.
Both sides remain entrenched in their legal battle, with no settlement discussions taking place more than two months after the lawsuits were filed.
