Blake Lively rips blogger Perez Hilton for posting more than 500 'disparaging' stories about Justin Baldoni feud

Blake Lively has taken legal action against Perez Hilton, accusing the self-proclaimed “original influencer” of tarnishing her reputation over the past year, according to a new court filing.

Attorney Esra Hudson states in documents acquired by Page Six that since August 2024, Mr. Hilton has shared over 500 videos, 400 headlines, and countless other remarks about Ms. Lively on his various platforms. Additionally, his website features a dedicated tab and an entire subpage focused solely on Ms. Lively.

Hudson claims that most of the content Mr. Hilton shares regarding Ms. Lively is derogatory, often published without seeking a comment or response from her representatives, and frequently consists of narratives seemingly crafted by others.

Lively’s lawyer then lists posts Hilton shared on his platforms that reference the actress as a “bully,” “savage,” and other names amid her ongoing feud feud with “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni.

She notes that the famed blogger foes not “hold himself out as operating as an independent journalist, nor does he purport to follow any of the tenets of independent journalism.”

The filing was submitted to the Southern District of New York Court on Tuesday in response to Hilton’s attempts to quash the subpoena Lively filed against him last month because of privacy concerns.

In July, the “Gossip Girl” alum subpoenaed Hilton, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr., as well as Candace Owens, claiming that the popular media personalities had used their “sizable digital platforms” to launch a smear campaign against her.

Both Hilton, 47, and Owens, 36, emphatically denied via their social media platforms at the time that they conspired with Baldoni’s team to ruin Lively’s reputation.

The “Perez Hilton” podcast host, for his part, said in part at the time, “I also have not communicated with my lawyer, Bryan Freedman, about this, who also represents Baldoni and has not given me any information or influenced me in any way whatsoever.”

In response to Lively’s latest filing, Hilton said via YouTube Tuesday that the “Age of Adeline” actress is seeking to force him to comply with the subpoena, she must do so in his jurisdiction, which is Las Vegas, stating that is the “appropriate venue where this issue has already been taken up by the district court.”

“I am very much looking forward to the laughs from Blake Lively’s reprehensible attorney,” he added in his letter to the judge, which he read on his channel.

Hilton also slammed Lively’s lawyer for “using this court’s docket as a publicist would,” concluding, “This case and your docket have become a circus and so laughable.”

The “Celebrity Big Brother” alum’s battle with Lively, 37, comes on the heels of another YouTuber, Lauren Neidigh, filing a protective order against the “A Simple Favor” star on Monday.

Neidigh alleged that Lively’s attempt to subpoena her and other content creators was meant to “intimidate, harass, chill constitutionally protected free speech, and threaten the safety and privacy of non-parties.”

The “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” star has been looking into the bloggers’ motives in an attempt to further prove her claims that Baldoni launched a smear campaign against her as a form of retaliation.

She is also suing the Wayfarer co-founder, 41, for sexual harassment, claiming he made her and several other women on set “uncomfortable” while filming “It Ends With Us” last year.

Baldoni has denied any wrongdoing and his lawyer, Freedman, has maintained that Lively’s bad rep is due to “her own remarks and actions during the campaign for the film; interviews and press activities that were observed publicly, in real time and unedited, which allowed for the internet to generate their own views and opinions.”

The former co-stars’ case is set to go to trial in March 2026. Lively was deposed by the director‘s lawyers last week in New York City.
