Blake Lively BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Blake Lively has dominated headlines in the past several days, not with film premieres, but with a bold legal offensive that’s embroiling some of the most recognizable names in digital media. According to TMZ, as picked up by HOLA and analyzed by countless pop culture commentators, Lively has just issued subpoenas to content creators Perez Hilton, Candace Owens, and Andy Signore. This is the latest escalation in her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, the director and her co-star in It Ends With Us, whom she accused of orchestrating an online smear campaign and of sexual harassment—allegations Baldoni has denied. The subpoenas, confirmed by multiple outlets, seek to uncover communications between these creators and Baldoni’s camp, as Lively’s legal team presses to prove her reputation was targeted through coordinated digital influence.
The creators’ reactions arrived swiftly. Candace Owens, in her trademark style, said she’d not received a subpoena but would speak further on her podcast. Andy Signore’s attorney called the characterization of Signore as “anti-Blake” both false and potentially defamatory. Meanwhile, Perez Hilton, who previously shared legal representation with Baldoni, posted a video saying he hadn’t been served yet but would comply with legal obligations if required.
This legal volley comes weeks after a significant court win for Lively. In June, Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit alleging extortion and defamation. While Baldoni was allowed to amend his claims, his legal team chose not to move forward, stating they’d pursue other legal options. The Lively v. Baldoni trial is now set for March 2026, promising more drama to come. Online speculation is rampant; social media buzzes with commentary dissecting every move, but no verified direct responses from Lively herself have surfaced publicly on her channels this week.
Despite the legal crossfire, Lively’s public appearances tell a different story. Days before the latest legal developments, she was seen smiling at the South by Southwest premiere of the A Simple Favor sequel, fueling both admiration and debate—some social media users questioned whether her upbeat demeanor was genuine or part of a carefully curated public image. Nevertheless, according to media sources such as IMDb, her interactions on the red carpet seemed business as usual for the Reynolds-Lively household, brushing off rumors of distress.
On the business front, reports from outlets like TIME highlight that her entrepreneurial ventures, like Betty Buzz and Blake Brown, continue without pause, while husband Ryan Reynolds, in a recent Time profile, shrugged off any impacts from the legal controversy, emphasizing integrity and accountability in their brands. Through subpoenas and red carpets alike, Lively’s steadfast drive for control over her narrative remains the real headline.
