Blake Lively unexpectedly drops subpoenas in ongoing lawsuit

Blake Lively has unexpectedly dropped her subpoenas in ongoing lawsuit filed against her It Ends with Us costar, Justin Baldoni.

As reported by US Weekly, the 37-year-old actress withdrew the subpoenas against three content creators namely Kassidy O’Connell, McKenzie Folks and Lauren Neidigh, who had covered the case on social media platforms.

According to court documents, the Gossip Girl actress informed about her decision to the court via letter that read, “Based on the Third-Parties’ representations made in meet and confers, public statements, and/or information provided in their moving papers, there is no further information required from the Subpoenas as to these specific Third-Parties at this time.”

According to Lively’s legal team, the subpoenas were issued as part of the “discovery process aimed at gathering information to link Baldoni and the other defendants’ activities to sources through YouTube and X content creator accounts”.

Although the It Ends with Us actress has dismissed the subpoenas for several content creators, she will still be working to uncover information on various other YouTubers and third-party content creators.

As for the next phase, Blake Lively's scheduled deposition has been delayed and she will no longer be questioned by Justin Baldoni's attorneys on July 31, 2025.
