The Rest Is...Blake Lively vs. The Influencers - Megyn Kelly, Perez Hilton & Co Fight Back

Blake Lively vs. The Influencers – Megyn Kelly, Perez Hilton & Co Fight Back

This week on The Rest Is PR, Jacki and Lyle dive into the latest twist in Blake Lively’s legal battle with former co-star Justin Baldoni — a saga that has now pulled in some of the biggest names in media and influencer culture.

Lively has reportedly subpoenaed Megyn Kelly and Perez Hilton, alleging they were part of a wider smear campaign allegedly orchestrated by Baldoni’s camp. Kelly hit back by branding Lively a “nasty Hollywood snob,” while Lively’s own team denied they had officially subpoenaed her — leaving fans, critics, and PR watchers asking: what is really going on?

Jacki explores whether this latest move is a strategic attempt by Lively to wrestle back control of the narrative, or if it risks looking like “bully-boy” tactics in the court of public opinion. She also makes a bold prediction about Lively’s next possible move — and whether husband Ryan Reynolds could play a key role.

Meanwhile, Lyle raises the question: are influencers like Kelly and Hilton simply impossible targets? With loyal audiences, constant visibility, and high exposure, could taking them on backfire spectacularly? And, ultimately, do Lively and Reynolds even care about public perception — or is this about something much bigger, and possibly more financially motivated?

Join the conversation in the comments: is Blake Lively winning the PR battle, or digging herself in deeper?
