Justin Baldoni breaks silence after Isabela Ferrer accuses him of "harassing" her with subpoena in Blake Lively case

Los Angeles [US], August 20 (ANI): It Ends With Us actor-director Justin Baldoni found himself in the middle of fresh legal drama after actress Isabela Ferrer claimed he was harassing her with attempts to subpoena her in the ongoing Blake Lively case.

Now, Baldoni lawyers, on Monday, August 18, filed a court response saying Ferrer opposition was an inappropriate attack and argued that the issue was solely about whether she should be served a subpoena, according to PEOPLE.

The 41-year-old actor had issued a subpoena to Ferrer in July. His legal team, on August 12, filed a motion alleging she had been unreachable and unresponsive. In her response, Ferrer, 24, accused Baldoni of being engaged in bad faith tactics and filing his motion for improper purposes and with the aim of harassing her. The actress asked the court to deny his request and impose sanctions.

According to PEOPLE, in Baldoni latest court filing, his legal team has alleged that it subpoenaed Ferrer for documents that she either neglected to produce or were not requested by a subpoena Lively, 37, served Ferrer in February.

Lively, 37, has accused Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, of sexual harassment and retaliation--claims that Baldoni has denied.

Baldoni lawyers argued that Ferrer had previously praised the director, saying in messages that she had an incredible experience working with him and that he created a comfortable, safe space on set.

Ferrer attorneys, however, said her positive texts were typical of a young actress thanking a director after her first big film.

The trial in Lively lawsuit is scheduled for March 2026. (ANI)
