Blake Lively Legal Victory Sends Shockwaves as Celebs Subpoenaed in Smear Probe
So, here's the latest — and it’s a wild one — in the ongoing legal drama involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Things just took another unexpected twist, and now some pretty big internet personalities are being dragged into it. I’m talking about none other than Perez Hilton, Candace Owens, and YouTuber Andy Signore. These three have just been subpoenaed in connection to the case — yes, subpoenaed — and it’s all part of what appears to be Blake Lively’s team digging deeper into what they’re calling a potential smear campaign against her.
According to a report from TMZ, these subpoenas are all about whether Baldoni or his team had any direct communication or involvement with these public figures as they repeatedly criticized Blake online. The court recently gave Blake the green light to start digging into discovery, which is basically her way of gathering evidence to see just how far this campaign may have gone — and whether these influencers were more than just outspoken bystanders.

Now, why these particular names? Well, all three — Perez, Candace, and Andy — have openly sided with Baldoni in their commentary, especially while covering the $400 million defamation lawsuit that Baldoni had filed. That suit accused Blake, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and the New York Times of smearing his name over behind-the-scenes drama from the set of their 2024 film It Ends With Us . But here’s the kicker: that lawsuit was tossed out earlier this month, which was a massive win for Blake and her camp.
And now, with the countersuit gone, the focus is shifting to whether Baldoni and his affiliates may have orchestrated a wider campaign to damage Blake’s reputation online. Signore, for instance, even featured an “exclusive” interview with Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman, which has raised some serious eyebrows. Owens responded already, saying she hasn’t seen any subpoena herself — and even threw a little shade by thanking Blake’s team for letting TMZ alert her. She claims she had no prior knowledge of any parties involved when the lawsuits started, but she promised her audience that she’ll talk more about it on her podcast soon.
Perez Hilton, on the other hand, addressed it through his YouTube channel, and Signore’s attorney says his client hasn’t been officially served yet, but if he is, they’ll be ready to defend against it all — hard. They also made it clear they intend to protect their sources.
So what happens next? We wait. For now, no official comment from Blake or Baldoni’s reps, but this thing is definitely heating up. It’s not every day you see major online personalities getting looped into a celebrity legal feud, but here we are. The lines between Hollywood drama and influencer culture just got a lot blurrier. Stay tuned — because this ride is far from over.
