‘It Ends With Us’ Actress Isabela Ferrer Says Justin Baldoni Is Harassing Her Over Subpoena In The Blake Lively Legal Battle

The legal standard—and Ferrer’s argument

Rule 45 ordinarily requires personal service of a non-party subpoena. Courts may allow alternative service if a movant shows diligent, repeated attempts at a correct address and signs of evasion. Ferrer argues Baldoni falls short: his attempts were at the wrong addresses, with no showing they were ever hers, no outreach to her agent, and no simple skip-trace—let alone evidence she’s evading service (pp. 8–12).

Ferrer distinguishes a recent order permitting Lively to use alternative service on a different non-party—there, the address was verified and service attempts were made when someone appeared to be home, suggesting evasion. None of that exists here, she says (pp. 11–12).

“Harassing” scope and overlap

Ferrer also attacks the subpoena’s breadth. One request seeks “All Documents produced in connection with any subpoena in the Action,” which she calls duplicative and pointless for a non-party (pp. 2, 15–16; citing Baldoni’s subpoena at Dkt. 618-1 p. 9).  She notes substantial overlap with Lively’s earlier subpoena, reinforcing the inference that the aim is pressure, not new evidence (pp. 15–16).

Publicity and PII concerns

The brief says Baldoni’s motion triggered negative press and online harassment, in part because it publicly disclosed addresses Baldoni claimed could be Ferrer’s, plus other non-party PII such as phone numbers and license plates—contrary, she says, to the court’s practice of sealing or redacting non-party PII (pp. 7–8, 13–14).  That PII point lands against a backdrop where the court has already warned parties about filings that fuel scandal.

Sanctions request

Invoking Rule 45(d)(1), Ferrer asks the court to shift fees for the burden of opposing a motion she calls baseless and PR-driven, and for a subpoena she says is facially overbroad (pp. 16–17).

Where the larger case stands

Reporting and public filings confirm Lively’s claims of harassment and retaliation (denied by Baldoni) are headed to trial in March 2026, barring settlement. The judge has already dismissed the Wayfarer parties’ sweeping countersuit, narrowing their posture in this feud.

The road ahead

Expect a simple, fact-bound ruling: either Baldoni shows real diligence to personally serve a verified address or he doesn’t. Parallel skirmishes over PR tactics will continue to matter, though—especially in a case where the court has already chastised filings that appear crafted for headlines rather than litigation needs.

🛑 It should be noted that the assertions in the lawsuit filings described above are merely allegations and have not been proven in a court of law.
