Blake Lively's representative issued a strong rebuke to Justin Baldoni's legal team for subpoenaing Taylor Swift in their ongoing legal battle. The rep accuses Baldoni and his team of using the subpoena for publicity, characterizing their actions as bullying and intimidation of women. They emphasize the seriousness of the underlying sexual harassment and retaliation claims, contrasting it with the tabloid attention generated by the subpoena. Swift's representative also condemned the subpoena, stating she was uninvolved in Baldoni's film. The feud stems from Lively's sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni, which he countersued with claims of defamation and extortion.
