Blake Lively made ‘super shady’ legal move before filing Justin Baldoni complaint

Blake Lively reportedly filed a “super shady” lawsuit before publicly accusing her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment in her complaint.
The lawsuit was filed in September with the “Gossip Girl” alum’s company Vanzan as the plaintiff in an attempt to subpoena allegedly incriminating text messages from Baldoni’s now-ex PR team without Lively’s name being attached, according to the Daily Mail.
The “Jane the Virgin” alum’s former publicist Stephanie Jones and her company, Jonesworks, received a subpoena requesting all documents and communications regarding Baldoni, Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
Jones reportedly turned over private messages between former staffer Jennifer Abel, who continued working with Baldoni, and PR crisis manager Melissa Nathan.
The messages have since been used by Lively’s legal team as the basis for claims that Baldoni, Nathan and Abel orchestrated a smear campaign against the “Another Simple Favor” actress, 37, while promoting “It Ends With Us” in August 2024.
An alleged text from Nathan read, “We can bury anyone.”
The lawsuit, however, was withdrawn on Dec. 19, 2024, a few days before Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment in a complaint filed with the California Civil Rights Department.
A legal expert referred to the tactic as “super shady” while speaking to the Daily Mail. “They intentionally did this to really work in a very surreptitious and clandestine way,” attorney Ron Zambrano, who has no relation to the case, claimed to the outlet.
Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman also slammed the lawsuit as a “sham” in a statement to Page Six.
“Ms. Lively’s and Mr. Reynolds’ company Vanzan had nothing to do with this case and they knew it,” Freedman said.
“This sham lawsuit was designed to obtain subpoena power without oversight or scrutiny, and in doing so denied my clients the ability to contest the propriety, nature, and scope of the subpoena.
“There is nothing normal about this. Officers of the court have a duty of candor to the court and an obligation not to file fictitious lawsuits that have no basis in fact or law. … This was done in bad faith and constitutes a flagrant abuse of process.”
Lively’s legal team, however, denied any wrongdoing.
“There is nothing untoward here — just conscientious and thorough investigation,” her attorneys Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb said in a statement to Deadline.
“The Lively parties acted upon reliable information, and employed common tools such as Doe lawsuits and civil subpoenas that are entirely lawful and appropriate for pursuing claims and uncovering the identity of unknown perpetrators of unlawful activities,” they continued.
“This lawsuit unearthed the Wayfarer Parties’ documented plan — in their own words, in their own text messages — to ‘destroy’ Blake Lively, a plan which they executed without transparency, disclosure, or notice to Ms. Lively or the public, instead acting in a way they thought would be ‘untraceable.’
“We have absolutely nothing to hide — Ms. Lively voluntarily disclosed the subpoena in her first filing knowing that it would ultimately be produced to the Wayfarer Parties in discovery, and that is precisely what will happen as Ms. Lively’s claims move forward in the proper litigation process.”
Reps for Lively and Baldoni weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
The “Age of Adaline” star filed her complaint on Dec. 21, 2024, accusing the actor/director of sexual harassment and attempting to ruin her career after their work on the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel based on domestic violence.
Lively filed a formal lawsuit on Dec. 31. Baldoni denied all the allegations against him.
In January, he filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds, 48, which the couple has attempted to get dismissed.

This Coach bag is over 40% off for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
If you’ve seen A-list street style lately, you already know that Coach is having a massive celebrity renaissance.
From Jennifer Lopez and Emily Ratajkowski to Anne Hathaway and Olivia Rodrigo, the stylish set cannot stop clutching the brand’s handbags. So when we spotted an incredible deal at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for a massive 41% off a Coach Pebbled Crossbody Bag, we had to share.
This year’s Nordstrom-exclusive design comes in so many colors, including black, pearly off-white and other neutrals — plus cherry red, for a pop of color.

Made with a turnlock closure, interior and exterior pockets and a removable shoulder strap, the versatile bag is that classic legacy piece you’ll keep in your wardrobe for years.
At nine inches long, it’s the perfect minimalist everyday carry that can also slip into a larger tote on shopping days.
“Gorgeous bag and the perfect size to fit the essentials with a little room to spare,” reads one review, while another raves, “This is the best buy of the sale, in my opinion.”
“So hard to choose just one color but went with the black. Rich hardware and pebbled leather that elevate every outfit,” wrote a third shopper.
Another Nordstrom customer added, “I ordered this in the chalk color because I wanted a lighter colored purse; it is a beautiful off-white. Miraculously it holds my fairly large wallet, keys, phone and lipstick. Everything I need in one beautiful, easy-to-carry bag!”
“The large shoulder strap is detachable, so easy to transition to an evening bag,” they added.
No matter which color is your favorite, don’t snooze, as it’s quite likely to sell out early! (For extra shopping ‘inspo, check out our guide to more of the best fashion finds, too.)

New York Knicks star Tyler Kolek reveals A-lister he wants on celebrity row

New York Knicks point guard Tyler Kolek is hoping NFL legend Tom Brady will join celebrity row next season.
“He’s been there before but he has to come more often,” Kolek told Page Six at the 2026 ESPY Awards Wednesday in New York City of Brady, who attended two games in November 2024.
“I grew up a Patriots fan, when he left I kind of bandwagoned and went to the Buccaneers because I wasn’t really a Patriots fan, I was a Tom Brady fan,” he added.
Kolek, 25, went on to praise the loyal stars on Madison Square Garden’s celebrity row — which includes Timothée Chalamet, Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan and Ben Stiller.
“[Chalamet] was there last year throughout the whole playoff run so obviously we knew he was going to be here this year on the road, at home…” he said of the “Marty Supreme” actor.
He added, “All the fans — Spike, Tracy, Ben — all those guys, they come to the home games, to the away games… It’s cool seeing all the support we get.”
As for taking home the championship — the first time since 1973 — he said, “It felt amazing, 53 years, we felt it. Not only did we [feel] it, but the whole city felt it, the whole fan base, so it’s been pretty special.”
But the team doesn’t plan to rest much in the off-season, as they have their eyes set on back-to-back championships.
“It starts right now, it starts in the summer,” Kolek said. “All the work we put in leading up to the season. … I know we play deep into the summer, but we’re getting back after it now.”
“We’re getting ready to go for next year,” he enthused.
Kolek wasn’t the only Knicks player to attend the 2026 ESPY Awards — which is presented by ESPN — as teammates Karl-Anthony Towns, Jalen Brunson, Jose Alvarado, Mikal Bridges also made appearances.
The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 in Game 5 of the NBA finals.
The Knicks celebrated at the ticker-tape parade in Manhattan, where Kolek was hysterically mistaken for a fan when he tried to get back on his float.
He said, “I was just enjoying myself, having a good time… It’s all good!”
Celebrations following the victory at New York City hot spots included Flyfish Club, Chez Margaux and more.

Vrai makes the best lab-grown diamond earrings — just ask Taylor Swift
Prepare to polish up real nice.
Giant statement earrings have their time and place — but if you ask me, daintier fine jewelry pieces you can sleep, shower and sweat in are far superior. In addition to being more comfortable than shoulder-dusting styles, these classic studs and drops elevate any outfit and are guaranteed to go with everything in your closet, making them well worth the investment.
One of my favorite sources for this sort of everyday sparkle? Vrai, whose delicate lab-grown diamond designs marry top-tier quality and craftsmanship with a commitment to sustainable production.


“We create diamonds by crystallizing greenhouse gasses in our zero-emission foundry — the world’s first [to be] certified carbon-neutral,” Vrai co-founder and president Mona Akhavi previously told Page Six Style.
“The diamonds are gently grown in plasma reactors powered by 100% renewable energy from the Columbia River, located in America’s beautiful Pacific Northwest — entirely removing the environmental and human toll of mining.”
I’m the proud owner of several pairs of Vrai earrings, including the Linked Tennis Earrings and Solitaire Studs, and have been known to wear them for weeks at a time.
I’m in good company, too; Taylor Swift’s a big fan of the brand, having been spotted multiple times in both aforementioned styles. (She even owns two different sets of the Solitaire Studs — one featuring round brilliant stones like mine, the other with trillion-cut ones.)



The 14-time Grammy winner’s particularly fond of the Linked Tennis Earrings, which she’s worn to Chiefs games, movie premieres, dinner dates and even onstage during her Eras Tour.
“As a creator of her own music, career, story and brand, Taylor aligns with Vrai‘s diamond origin and creation process; disrupting expectations through innovation and authenticity,” Akhavi told us last year.
“[Swift] is known for her authentic style that favors self-expression and is full of symbolism — just as Vrai designs are symbolic and meaningful.”

And judging by the fact that my favorite earrings just as beautiful now as the day I bought them, I’d guess Swift’s are still in pristine condition, too.
In fact, I’m optimistic they’ll last for eras to come.
