What legal strategy is Blake Lively pursuing in her feud with Justin Baldoni?

Blake Lively is pursuing an aggressive legal discovery strategy by issuing subpoenas to multiple companies including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, AOL, and Cloudflare, as well as to crisis management specialist Jed Wallace. According to her attorneys, this discovery process aims to expose the people, tactics, and methods allegedly used to damage her reputation and family. Lively's team believes these subpoenas will uncover evidence related to her sexual harassment and retaliation claims against Baldoni, shifting focus from what they describe as a smear campaign back to the substantive allegations in advance of their March 2026 trial date.
