Blake Lively hits back at Perez Hilton for his relentless negativity towards her during the legal battle with Justin Baldoni. She accuses Hilton of ignoring a subpoena and generating negative content for Baldoni’s team. Despite Hilton justifying his reporting as journalism, Lively’s legal team claims he lacks independence and is driven by profit rather than informing the public. Lively also alleges that Hilton has not turned over any communications between himself and Baldoni’s team.
The actress has been vocal about her accusations against Baldoni for sexually harassing her on the set of “It Ends With Us” and conducting a smear campaign against her after the film’s release. Hilton denies being part of any smear campaign and insists he was not paid by anyone to target Lively. He defends his actions by stating that he was merely exercising his legally protected rights as a content creator and media commentator.
In response to Hilton’s actions, Lively’s legal team fired back by highlighting the more than 500 pieces of negative video content and sensational headlines he produced about her since August 2024. They also point out the derogatory names Hilton has used to refer to Lively, including “Ku Klux Khaleesi,” “Litigious Lively,” and “Blackface Lively.” Hilton had requested a protective order against Lively after being served with a subpoena and opposed her request to turn over private communications.
The ongoing legal battle between the parties has been marked by accusations and counter-accusations, with Lively striving to defend her reputation against what she perceives as targeted attacks. Despite the disagreements and legal manoeuvres, the case continues to unfold with both sides striving to prove their innocence and assert their rights.
