A man allegedly tries to intrude Travis Kelce’s home.
The celebrity legal drama involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has taken a bizarre turn, with a process server arrested outside Travis Kelce’s home while allegedly trying to serve legal papers to Taylor Swift.
The man, identified as Justin Lee Fisher, 48, was arrested in the early morning hours of September 15. Authorities suspect he jumped a fence to get onto the gated Leawood, Kansas estate belonging to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
Both Kelce and his newly engaged fiancé, Swift, both 35, were believed to be at home during the incident. Fisher was reportedly charged with “jumping the fence onto a private residence in a private neighborhood.”
Interestingly, the police report for the incident was short on details. According to the publication Star, which first broke the story, the one-page report bore a bolded warning: “This information is restricted as to use and dissemination.”
The legal drama itself stems from a lawsuit Lively filed last December against Baldoni, her costar and director on the film It Ends with Us, as well as his production company, publicists, and crisis PR team.
Lively alleges she was sexually harassed and then became the target of a retaliatory smear campaign after she spoke up—claims that Baldoni and his team deny.
Swift, whose song My Tears Ricochet is featured in the film, was first pulled into the case when Baldoni filed a massive $400 million countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
Baldoni’s legal team subpoenaed Swift back in May, but the subpoena was withdrawn later that same month.
Despite this, the singer’s name was brought up again when Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, asked for a 30-day extension of the discovery cut-off date to depose her.
In a September 11 letter to US District Judge Lewis J. Liman, Freedman claimed that the Bad Blood singer “has agreed to appear for deposition, but couldn’t until Oct. 20 due to her “preexisting professional obligations.”
This claim was immediately disputed by Swift’s attorney. In a letter fired back on the same day, the attorney clarified, “My client did not agree to a deposition. We take no role in those disputes.”
On September 13, People magazine reported that a deposition was unlikely to happen. Judge Liman denied Baldoni’s request for an extension, though he did grant one to Lively, pushing her deadline to October 10.
