Blake Lively<\/a> slammed Perez Hilton<\/a> for posting more than 500 negative videos about her \u2014 and accused him of refusing to answer to the subpoena she issued \u2014 amid her legal battle with Justin Baldoni<\/a>, Us Weekly can report.<\/p>\n

On July 29, Hilton, 47, filed court documents pleading for a protective order against Lively, 37, after he was served with a subpoena by her legal team. (Lively fired off subpoenas demanding information on several content creators she believes may have worked with Baldoni\u2019s team to run negative stories and videos about her.) Hilton also opposed her request that he turn over private communications.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, August 6, Lively fired back at Hilton and demanded he produce the documents immediately.<\/p>\n

In her new motion, Lively claimed Hilton generated social media content for Baldoni\u2019s team about the legal battle. \u201cSince August 2024, Mr. Hilton has created more than 500 pieces of video content about Ms. Lively, almost entirely disparaging, and about the same number of posts of sensational headlines,\u201d Lively\u2019s lawyer wrote.<\/p>\n

Lively said Hilton has called her claims of retaliation \u201cnon-existent\u201d and labeled her a \u201cbully\u201d who \u201clies\u201d and is \u201ctrying to silence Justin Baldoni.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tShaking it off is easier said than done. Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have not made any progress with their friendship fallout despite the actress\u2019 recent victory in her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni. \u201cAlthough it was great news for Blake, she hasn\u2019t rekindled her friendship with Taylor yet,\u201d a source exclusively tells Us [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n

The actress\u2019 lawyer pointed out that Hilton often calls her awful names. Lively\u2019s motion said, \u201cHilton\u2019s videos are punctuated by name-calling, Ms. Lively, coining mocking terms for her, including \u201dBlackface Blake,\u201d \u201cLying Lively,\u201d \u201cKu Klux Khaleesi,\u201d and \u201cLitigious Lively.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his filing, Hilton explained he was served with a subpoena by the actress\u2019 legal team requesting he turn over a variety of documents and communications, \u201cincluding internet records, unpublished material and personal correspondence.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted, \u201cI am a journalist, content creator, and media commentator doing my job and exercising my legally protected rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hilton demanded that the court issue the protective order prohibiting Lively from issuing any additional subpoenas<\/a> without the court\u2019s approval<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tBlake Lively\u2018s legal team accused Justin Baldoni and his team of trying to stop victims from speaking out as they allegedly try to \u201cbury\u201d her sexual harassment claims. Lively\u2019s lawyers Mike Gottlieb and Esra Hudson issued a statement to Us Weekly on Friday, April 4, after Baldoni filed a response to her motion to dismiss [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n

Lively scoffed at Hilton\u2019s argument. She said Hilton has not turned over a single communication between himself and any of Baldoni\u2019s team. Lively said his request for a protective order should be denied.<\/p>\n

She denied he was a journalist like he claimed. \u201cOn his various Platforms, Mr. Hilton does not hold himself out as operating as an independent journalist, nor does he purport to follow any of the tenets of independent journalism.\u201d Lively\u2019s lawyer said. \u201cSince August 2024, Mr. Hilton has posted more than 500 videos, 400 headlines, and hundreds of other comments about Ms. Lively on his various platforms, and his Website includes a tab on its landing page and an entire subpage dedicated to Ms. Lively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her lawyer noted, \u201cMr. Hilton has made no secret of his lack of independence \u2014 he does not, for example, reach out to Ms. Lively or her representatives for comment prior to publishing. Mr. Hilton is in the business of shaping narratives for clicks and profit, not informing the public. That is not the kind of work that [the law] was designed to protect,\u201d Lively\u2019s lawyer added.<\/p>\n

Lively demanded Hilton turn over the documents she requested via her subpoena within seven days. The court has yet to rule.<\/p>\n

Hiton told The\u00a0New York Post that he played no role in an alleged smear campaign by Baldoni\u2019s team. He told the outlet he formed his own opinions after reading the court papers. \u201cI was not part of any smear campaign against her,\u201d he said. I was not working on behalf of anyone. I was not paid by anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Us first reported, Lively dropped subpoenas for three other TikTokers<\/a> who fought back against the request for their information.<\/p>\n

Lively is suing Baldoni, her costar and the director of It Ends With Us, over alleged sexual harassment<\/a> on set. She believes he hired a crisis PR team to smear her in retaliation for her complaining about his behavior. Baldoni denies her claims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Blake Lively slammed Perez Hilton for posting more than 500 negative videos about her \u2014 and accused him…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51352,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,362,75,282],"class_list":["post-51351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-news","tag-entertainment","tag-exclusive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
