Blake Lively's 'digital violence' claim sparks backlash from influencers she subpoenaed
Blake Lively’s Instagram lament about “digital violence” has sparked backlash from YouTubers and other influencers she previously subpoenaed for private data, with critics accusing her of hypocrisy as many subpoenas were dropped and some creators faced steep legal bills. The ongoing case, tied to Baldoni’s countersuit over a smear campaign related to their It Ends With Us work, is headed to trial on May 18, focusing on remaining claims of retaliation and contract breaches. Lively says she sought a safe working environment, while critics say she weaponized legal power against critics.
