Isabela Ferrer files rebuttal against Justin Baldoni subpoena in It Ends With Us legal case

Isabela Ferrer accuses Justin Baldoni of harassment through a subpoena request tied to Blake Lively’s case.

It Ends With Us actress Isabela Ferrer has filed a legal rebuttal against director Justin Baldoni, claiming his recent subpoena request amounts to harassment.

Ferrer, who portrayed the younger version of Blake Lively’s character Lily Bloom in the Colleen Hoover adaptation, became involved in the case earlier this year when Lively subpoenaed her during her sexual harassment dispute with Baldoni.

Lively filed the complaint in December 2024, alleging misconduct and retaliation, allegations Baldoni has denied.

On August 12 2025, Baldoni’s legal team filed a motion claiming Ferrer had been unresponsive. In response, Ferrer’s lawyers argued that Baldoni has “engaged in bad faith tactics” and that his subpoena overlaps significantly with the one already issued by Lively.

They stated the move was “for improper purposes and with the aim of harassing” Ferrer, while also accusing Baldoni’s team of disclosing addresses linked to her.

Ferrer has requested the court to deny Baldoni’s motion and impose sanctions. Her legal team further claims that Wayfarer Studios, Baldoni’s production company, has failed to uphold an indemnification clause in her contract, which would cover her legal fees.

According to Ferrer’s motion, Wayfarer made coverage conditional on her surrendering control of her legal response, which she refused.

Following Lively’s subpoena, Ferrer submitted her communications related to It Ends With Us. Her lawyers now argue that Baldoni’s latest subpoena was not tailored to request new information but was instead designed to pressure her financially and legally.

The ongoing case, Lively v. Wayfarer Studios et al., is scheduled for trial in March 2026. Baldoni’s previously filed $400 million countersuit against Lively and Ryan Reynolds was dismissed earlier this year.
