Blake Lively has denied claims made by Megyn Kelly that the actress issued her a subpoena in connection with her ongoing legal dispute with filmmaker and actor Justin Baldoni.

A representative for Lively told Page Six that Kelly’s statement was “false,” emphasizing that the actress has not taken any direct legal action against the former Fox News host. The clarification comes after Kelly suggested she had been drawn into the case through legal proceedings, which Lively’s team insists is not accurate.

While distancing herself from Kelly’s claim, Lively is still moving forward with discovery efforts in the lawsuit against Baldoni. The case involves allegations of retaliation and harassment that Lively says occurred on set, and her legal team continues to gather supporting evidence.

The legal battle between Lively and Baldoni has been closely followed in the entertainment world, drawing attention to issues of workplace conduct, power dynamics, and accountability in Hollywood. Although specific details about the ongoing discovery process remain confidential, sources suggest that Lively is determined to substantiate her allegations and bring forward evidence that will support her case in court.

Baldoni, best known for his work on Jane the Virgin and recent film projects, has not publicly responded to this latest development. Meanwhile, Kelly’s involvement appears limited to her own public comments, which Lively’s representatives have now refuted.

As the case progresses, the dispute underscores the growing scrutiny on industry practices and the measures actors are willing to take to address alleged misconduct.
