What's Happening?
Perez Hilton, a well-known celebrity blogger, is contesting a subpoena issued by Blake Lively in her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni. Lively's legal team has demanded Hilton's work and personal records, which he argues is an 'invasive' request. The subpoena is part of a broader legal conflict where Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set of 'It Ends With Us,' leading to a countersuit from Baldoni for extortion and defamation. Hilton plans to file a motion to quash the subpoena, citing privacy concerns and the undue burden it places on media figures not directly involved in the case.
