Blake Lively’s Legal War Sparks Candace Owens Showdown

A new wave of subpoenas has sparked headlines, but Owens isn’t staying silent.

Her pointed response has only added more fuel to an already blazing Hollywood scandal.

Rumors swirled that Owens, along with Perez Hilton and YouTuber Andy Signore, had been subpoenaed as Lively and Baldoni’s lawsuit saga escalated.

These personalities have openly discussed the legal feud on their platforms, with Signore claiming Lively was “admitting defeat in a sneaky way” after dropping her emotional distress claim against Baldoni.

However, Owens is calling foul. She told the Daily Mail, “Given the fact that I have not received any subpoena yet, I appreciate Blake’s team leaking this to TMZ to alert me to it.”

She added, “And of course, I have not the slightest idea what I am being subpoenaed for as I knew none of these parties when their respective lawsuits were filed. But stay tuned, and I’ll let audiences know on my podcast!”

Despite a legal win when Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit was tossed, Lively hasn’t eased up on her own case.

She has continued sending subpoenas, sparking criticism and raising eyebrows.

A representative for Lively stated, “The Court’s dismissal of Baldoni’s sham lawsuit was a total victory after all.”

However, Candace Owens’ name being linked to the case has stirred questions about Lively’s strategy.

Though Baldoni’s countersuit was dismissed, his attorney, Bryan Freedman, insisted, “The Court’s decision on the motion to dismiss has no effect whatsoever on the truth that there was no harassment nor any smear campaign and it does not in any way affect our vigorous defense against Ms. Lively’s claims.”

He continued, “Discovery is proceeding and we are confident that we will prevail against these factually baseless accusations. Instead of revising the existing claims, our clients will be pursuing additional legal options.”

In contrast, Lively’s team hailed the dismissal as vindication.

Her attorneys stated, “Today’s opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times.”

They continued, “As we have said from day one, this ‘$400 million’ lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it. We look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys’ fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni, Sarowitz, Nathan, and the other Wayfarer Parties who perpetrated this abusive litigation.”

A New York Times spokesperson said of the dismissal, “We are grateful to the court for seeing the lawsuit against The New York Times for what it was: a meritless attempt to stifle honest reporting.”

They added, “Our journalists went out and covered carefully and fairly a story of public importance, and the court recognized that the law is designed to protect just that sort of journalism. We will continue to stand up in court for our journalism and for our journalists when their work comes under attack.”

The legal drama began with Lively accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign.

In response, Baldoni filed a now-dismissed countersuit, alleging defamation, civil extortion, and interference in his directorial role for “It Ends With Us.” He also launched a website, thelawsuitinfo.com, publishing private communications between him and Lively.

Though the court sided with Lively, ruling that Baldoni’s claims lacked merit, his team argues otherwise. They say the documents paint a clear picture of attempted sabotage.
