Blake Lively Confesses To The Judge That She’s Conspiring With Justin Baldoni’s Former Publicist!

Perez Hilton Reacts: Blake Lively’s Legal Team Just Partnered with Her Alleged Smear Campaign Enemy? Make This Make Sense.

Hello, my friend. It’s Perez — the Queen of All Media, the Original Influencer, and now the unofficial mascot of the Subpoena Serena drama. Quick reminder: I still haven’t been served. Yes, I’m talking to you, Serena. And tick tock, darling. The clock is ticking.

Now, let’s get into the absurdity of what just happened in the It Ends With Us legal soap opera. Because honey — this twist? It’s giving betrayal, it’s giving desperation, it’s giving make it make sense.

Blake Lively and Stephanie Jones Join Forces?!?

Let me paint the picture: Blake “Betty Bubbles and Backpedals” Lively — who has been screaming from the rooftops about being the victim of a coordinated smear campaign — has just teamed up with Stephanie Jones.

Yes, that Stephanie Jones. The one who used to work with Justin Baldoni.

The same Stephanie Jones who is in separate litigation with Baldoni and Jennifer Ael (his current publicist).

And the same Stephanie Jones who was named in Blake’s own court filings as part of the retaliation campaign against her.

Let me repeat: Blake’s legal documents accused Jones Works, Stephanie’s firm, of conspiring with Baldoni in last year’s smear campaign — and now she’s working with her?

Girl, what? Make. It. Make. Sense.

The Joint Letter That Shook the Internet

Blake Lively and Stephanie Jones just filed a joint letter with Judge Lyman requesting a six-week delay in fact discovery. A whole six weeks! That’s not just a little bump in the road. That’s a full rerouting of traffic.

They claim it’s to “facilitate completion of fact discovery” — citing 40+ upcoming depositions, unfinished document production, and a looming trial date in March 2026.

But let’s not gloss over the optics here. Blake is asking the court for help — while collaborating with someone she basically labeled as an enemy in her own legal narrative.

If Stephanie Jones was part of the alleged conspiracy, shouldn’t Blake be suing her too?

Instead, they’re besties in a joint legal maneuver?

Let me light a candle and summon a spirit guide because this makes zero sense.

Wayfairer Parties Are Not Having It

The proposed schedule shift would move key deadlines for depositions and document productions into the fall — with discovery ending October 15.

But here’s the tea: The Wayfairer parties — Baldoni, Ael, Sarowitz, Tag Nathan — haven’t agreed. And the judge hasn’t ruled on it yet.

In the meantime, Blake and Stephanie’s letter is dripping with shade aimed at Wayfairer’s side. They complain about vague excuses for deposition scheduling conflicts, deficient document productions, and late-night file dumps that barely meet the threshold for “substantial completion.”

And when I say “deficient,” I mean laughably so. According to the letter:

Jennifer Ael submitted only 229 documents.

Tag Nathan and Melissa Nathan submitted identical batches of just 81 documents.

Sarowitz reportedly turned in three pages. Three.

Meanwhile, Blake herself has submitted over 21,000 pages of documents.

Is it overkill? Maybe. But that’s not the point. The point is: she’s clearly documenting everything. The rest of them? Giving “I lost the receipts.”

Jones Gets Access to… the Film Footage?

Here’s where it gets even weirder.

Blake’s team says Wayfairer not only delayed in producing the It Ends With Us film footage she requested — but also failed to deliver it to Stephanie Jones.

Um. What?

Why does Stephanie Jones need access to the film footage? She’s not even a defendant in that part of the case.

Why is she now looped into discovery exchanges meant for the actual Wayfairer parties?

Is she helping Blake build her claims… or is Blake giving her access to evidence she once claimed proved Stephanie’s own involvement in retaliation?

It’s the legal version of “keep your friends close and your enemies closer,” but it’s getting toxic, fast.

The Excuse: “We Need More Time”

Let’s break down Blake and Jones’ reasoning for this delay:

They say document production from the defendants is incomplete and suspiciously sparse.

They want to ensure they have a full review of the documents before taking depositions — to avoid repeating them later.

They argue the extension won’t push the March 2026 trial date, and that it will help move things along in an “orderly” fashion.

It’s not a terrible argument — if this were coming from someone not flip-flopping on who’s friend or foe.

Also, this is the first formal request for a timeline extension. So technically, the judge could grant it without controversy.

But the optics? Yikes. It raises major questions:

Has Blake Lively changed her mind about Stephanie Jones’ role in the smear campaign?

Is this a strategic alliance to isolate Baldoni and shift the narrative?

Or is it just legal chaos disguised as cooperation?

Because right now, the only consistent thing is the inconsistency.

Perez’s Take: It’s Getting Desperate

This isn’t just a delay. It’s a red flag. It signals that Blake and her legal team are scrambling — trying to regroup after realizing their web of accusations is harder to prove than they thought.

Pairing up with someone you publicly implied conspired against you is not a power move. It’s a panic move.

It’s also likely to backfire. If Blake is claiming Jones Works was part of the smear campaign, how can she now present them as trustworthy collaborators in a motion to the court?

You can’t accuse someone of defamation-adjacent crimes and then be like, “But Your Honor, we’re totally aligned now. Please let us rewrite the schedule together.”

The court isn’t stupid. Judge Lyman will see through this — and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Wayfairer parties start using this joint letter against Blake down the line. “If she’s working with Jones, maybe Jones wasn’t the villain she claimed.”

Final Thoughts: Subpoena Me Already!

I’ll say this again for the people in the back: I have not been served yet.

But baby, at this rate, they’ll need to delay discovery into 2027 just to catch up with their own contradictions.

And when that subpoena does come? Oh, I’ll be ready. Because this saga is getting juicier than a season finale of Scandal — and I’ve got the popcorn.

Now tell me in the comments: Should the judge grant this six-week delay? Is Blake playing 4D chess, or just fumbling the board?

Let’s talk about it all. I’ll be watching — and waiting.
