Media Personality Megyn Kelly Stands Firm Against Actress Blake Lively's Lawsuit Tactics
Megyn Kelly criticized Blake Lively for subpoenaing her in the actress' lawsuit against Justin Baldoni. Lively believes that reporters and media personalities colluded with Baldoni to smear her reputation. Kelly dismissed Lively's claims and asserted that she formed her negative opinions about Lively independently. She also revealed that she successfully fought Lively's subpoena and did not provide any documents or communications.
Kelly emphasized the importance of freedom of the press and refused to hand over her internal communications to Lively. She described Lively as a narcissistic bully and vowed to stand her ground against her. While Kelly could afford legal representation, she acknowledged that others targeted by Lively may not have the same resources. Perez Hilton, another individual subpoenaed by Lively, had to represent himself in the matter.
Lively is suing Baldoni for sexual harassment and retaliation, but Baldoni has denied the allegations and countersued Lively and Ryan Reynolds for defamation and extortion. Despite legal challenges, Baldoni's lawsuit was dismissed on technical grounds. The case is set to go to trial in March 2026, with Lively and Baldoni expected to testify.
