I went on a deep dive last night watching influencers spin wild takes on these subpoenas.

The biggest misconception?

That Blake Lively’s legal team is digging back to 2022 as some kind of desperate fishing expedition. The truth is, the timeline matters because this lawsuit isn’t just about her claims anymore.

It’s also about disproving Baldoni’s counterclaims.

December 2022 isn’t a random date, it’s likely when discussions about Lively’s role in It Ends With Us likely began. If Baldoni’s team is now claiming she took over the film, she has the right to pull receipts proving what was actually promised.

That’s how discovery works.

In my first ever audio file (lol, sorry for the background noise), I break down:

• Why the subpoena dates back to 2022

• What evidence might exist from this period

• Why deleted messages aren’t necessarily gone

• What Lively actually asked for from phone carriers (hint: it’s not text content)

This isn’t some legal overreach. It’s standard litigation.

Let’s unpack what’s really going on.
