Actor and filmmaker Justin Baldoni has filed a motion in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking to subpoena financial records from actress Blake Lively. The request is part of an ongoing legal dispute related to the 2022 film "It Ends With Us," which Baldoni directed and starred in, and which Lively also starred in and produced.
According to court documents filed in April 2026 and verified by legal filings, Baldoni's legal team is seeking records from Lively's production company, B for Effort, and other entities. The motion argues that the financial information is necessary for the case, which involves claims related to profits and accounting from the film.
Blake Lively's representatives have not issued a public statement regarding the specific motion as of April 2026. The case is a civil proceeding, and the court has not yet ruled on the admissibility of the requested financial subpoenas.
The film "It Ends With Us," based on the novel by Colleen Hoover, was a commercial success upon its release. Disputes over financial accounting and profit participation are not uncommon in the entertainment industry following major film releases.
