00:00Blake Lively is turning up the heat in her legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star
00:03Justin Baldoni, now demanding access to his phone records. Let's break it all down.
00:09E! News reports the Gossip Girl alum has officially filed a subpoena for Baldoni's
00:13phone records, according to a statement from her legal team. Lively's lawyers say the move
00:18is an effort to expose the people, tactics, and methods behind what they call a year-long
00:23smear campaign designed to destroy Lively's reputation and career. Deadline took to X
00:28to share that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have issued subpoenas to AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon,
00:34and alleged social media strategist Jed Wallace in response to Justin Baldoni and his attorney
00:40Brian Friedman's claims of transparency. Baldoni's legal team is pushing back. The director's lawyer,
00:46Brian Friedman, slammed the request, calling it an extraordinary overreach and claims Lively's
00:52lawyers are demanding every call, text, data log, and even real-time location information
00:58for the last two and a half years, according to E! News. Friedman told E! News this massive
01:04phishing expedition demonstrates that they are desperately seeking any factual basis
01:09for their provable false claims. They will find none. This latest twist is just one of
01:15the most recent chapters in the It Ends With Us legal drama. Back in December,
01:19Lively filed a formal complaint with the California Civil Rights Department,
01:23accusing Baldoni of retaliation after she alleged sexual harassment on set, which was first reported
01:29by the New York Times. Not long after, Baldoni hit back with a $400 million counter-suit against
01:35Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and their publicists, along with a $250 million defamation lawsuit
01:41against the New York Times. While all sides are denying the allegations, one thing's for sure,
01:46this legal battle is far from over. So will these photo records reveal something game-changing,
01:51or is this just the latest twist in an already messy battle?
