Blake Lively SLAMMED amid subpoena clash in Justin Baldoni legal drama; called a 'narcissistic, liar, bully, brat'

Blake Lively has hit the headlines once again, this time over her controversial subpoenas issued to various entertainment portals, journalists and social media influencers, among others.

Broadcaster Megyn Kelly went viral on Friday, after she launched a scathing attack on the actress, labelling her as a “'narcissistic, liar, bully, brat” after alleging she was "targeted" with subpoenas connected to Lively’s legal battle against 'It Ends With Us' director Justin Baldoni.

Speaking on her show, the host, revealed that Lively’s legal team had attempted to obtain her private communications as part of the case. She claimed, "She actually tried to get the confidential and proprietary materials, my team and I used for any and all stories about her."

Kelly went on to state, "because Blake Lively was unable to fathom that yours truly (points to self) had developed a genuine revulsion toward her, on my own. She posited that I must have been ensnared in Baldoni's alleged ongoing smear campaign against her."

She, however, said that her team refused to comply and claimed the actress “backed down” after missing the deadline to pursue further action. “We gave her absolutely nothing.

Not one document, not one record, not one communication,” Kelly said, calling the move an attempt to “harass” her and her staff.She added, “No world would I ever, ever allow my team’s communications to be turned over to a third party. She has zero right to nose around in how I gather news or in how my team and I prepare for any show we do.”
