A person working for Justin Baldoni has reportedly been arrested for trespassing in an attempt to deliver deposition papers to Taylor Swift at Travis Kelce's home. The former police officer allegedly jumped over a fence to get into Kelce's house in Kansas.

According to Star, the former cop, Justin Lee Fisher, was trying to deliver deposition papers from Justin Baldoni's lawyers related to his ongoing legal dispute with Blake Lively. He was reportedly charged with jumping the fence onto a private residence in a private neighborhood.

The Leawood Police Department confirmed to Page Six that a man was arrested in Travis Kelce's neighborhood on September 15 for "a misdemeanour charge of criminal trespassing." However, the police did not reveal his identity. Meanwhile, Fisher told Page Six that he would be willing to discuss the incident once it is resolved. He is scheduled to appear in court on October 15.

"I’ll be happy to talk to you about it when it is resolved. [I] wasn’t hurt or anything besides being arrested for doing my job and possibly losing my [private eye] license," he said.

Two days before Fisher's arrest, the judge denied Justin Baldoni's legal team an extension to depose Taylor Swift. The actor's team has been trying to depose the singer in his case against Blake Lively for months. Swift and Lively have been close friends for years.

The legal dispute started when Lively accused Baldoni of alleged s*xual harassment and inappropriate workplace behavior in December last year. In response, Baldoni countersued her for defamation. However, his $400 million lawsuit against Reynolds and Lively was dismissed by the court in June this year.


Taylor Swift's legal team makes their stance clear about the singer being deposed in the Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively case

On September 12, Taylor Swift's lawyers issued an official statement clarifying their position regarding the singer's deposition in the Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively case. They stated that while Swift did not agree to be a witness, she indicated she would cooperate if necessary. Swift's lawyer, Douglas Baldridge, said:

"My client did not agree to a deposition, but if she is forced into a deposition, we advised (after first hearing about the deposition just three days ago) that her schedule would accommodate the time required during the week of October 20 if the parties were able to work out their disputes."

Notably, Taylor Swift's upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, is scheduled for release on October 3, 2025. Therefore, the pop star seems to have her schedule booked until October 20 for her professional commitments.

Due to this, Justin Baldoni's legal team requested an extension to depose Swift, which Judge Lewis Liman denied in a legal letter dated September 12. It said:

"The Wayfarer Parties have filed a response opposing Blake Lively’s request and seeking their own extension of the deposition deadline to the end of October for the purpose of scheduling deposition of non-party Taylor Swift. The Wayfarer Parties contend that their requested extension is necessary because Swift’s preexisting professional obligations now prevent her from being deposed within the current discovery window."

Judge Liman's statement also mentioned that the case had been under investigation for six months, so Taylor Swift could have been deposed earlier. Justin Baldoni's team also showed no evidence of a renewed subpoena after the initial one was denied in May 2025.

"Thus, at most, the Wayfarer Parties have demonstrated that scheduling the deposition now presents logistical difficulties; that does not answer the question of why the deposition "could not have been conducted earlier." Having failed to demonstrate appropriate diligence, the requested extension is denied," the statement said.

Previously, Taylor Swift was mentioned multiple times in Baldoni and Lively's legal battle. Baldoni's now-dismissed $400 million lawsuit referenced her several times in connection with the case. She was also officially subpoenaed in the case by Bryan Freedman, Baldoni's lawyer.

However, the pop star has not made any public statements about the case or her alleged involvement. Her only confirmed involvement is the use of her song, My Tears Ricochet, in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's 2024 film, It Ends With Us.

Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively will face each other in court in March 2026. As of now, Taylor Swift is not a legal witness in the case.
