Justin Baldoni's lawyers withdrew subpoenas targeting Taylor Swift and her legal team after objections that they constituted an unwarranted fishing expedition. The subpoenas stemmed from Baldoni's lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, alleging career sabotage. Lively's spokesperson stated Baldoni aimed to exploit Swift's celebrity to distract from the actual sexual harassment and retaliation claims. Swift's team denied any involvement in the film's production or creative decisions. Baldoni's attorney claimed to have evidence of extortion attempts by Lively's lawyer, which were deemed false by Lively's legal team. The judge previously threatened sanctions against Baldoni's attorney for making unsubstantiated claims.
