(NewsNation) — Megyn Kelly called Blake Lively a “narcissistic bully” for subpoenaing her as part of her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

Kelly made the comments on her SiriusXM show on Thursday, adding that the “A Simple Favor” actress was “sad, pathetic, and untalented” for allegedly trying to obtain her private communications through a subpoena, according to The Daily Mail.  

“We gave her absolutely nothing. Not one document, not one record, not one communication,” she said, adding that Lively, “backed down and has now missed the deadline to pursue her harassment of me and my team any further.”  

Blake Lively: Justin Baldoni was behind smear campaign  

Lively sued Baldoni and his studio Wayfarer in December 2024 following a meeting in which she and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, addressed “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior” by Baldoni and a producer on the movie.  

She filed a complaint claiming that Baldoni and his team ran a “press and digital plan” to destroy her reputation after she accused Baldoni of sexual harassment during the production of “It Ends With Us.”

Kelly stated that Lively couldn’t understand that Kelly’s dislike for her was genuine and not influenced by someone else.  

According to Kelly, the “Gossip Girl” star suggested that Kelly was being manipulated by Baldoni, who she claimed was actively trying to damage her reputation. 

“This is how narcissistic this woman is,” Kelly said on her show. “She actually thinks I needed to get paid by Baldoni’s team to say negative things about her. News flash, Blake: I came to those conclusions totally organically. … It was you — it was all you who made me unable to stand you. No man had anything to do with it.” 

Blake Lively denies subpoenaing Megyn Kelly 

A spokesperson for Lively denied that the actress’s legal team subpoenaed Kelly.  

“At no point in this litigation has Ms. Lively served a subpoena on Megyn Kelly,” Lively’s representative told People magazine in a statement.  

Deadline reported that Lively’s team issued a subpoena to Red Seat Ventures, the company that handles sales, production, marketing and distribution for content creators like Kelly.
