Blake Lively Subpoenas 16 Pro-Baldoni YouTubers for Account Data

Blake Lively has issued subpoenas to Google demanding private information from at least 16 YouTubers and content creators who have posted supportive content about Justin Baldoni amid their ongoing legal dispute. The subpoenas request sensitive data including email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, bank details, and session logs dating back to May 2024. Content creators such as Andy Signore, Candace Owens, Lauren Neidigh, and Perez Hilton have publicly condemned the subpoenas as invasive and an attempt to silence independent voices, with some planning to legally challenge the demands. Lively’s legal team claims the subpoenas aim to uncover evidence of a paid smear campaign against her, which the creators deny. The controversy has sparked backlash on social media, with targeted influencers labeling the actions as harassment and an invasion of privacy. Google and YouTube have confirmed the subpoenas were sent in accordance with their policies.
