A private investigator got himself into hot water at Travis Kelce’s Kansas home while trying to deliver deposition papers to Taylor Swift. The incident ties right into the messy legal fight between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively over the film “It Ends With Us.”
According to reports from Star magazine, Justin Lee Fisher—a former cop now working as a PI—faced arrest on September 15 for trespassing in Kelce’s gated neighborhood. Leawood police confirmed to Page Six that officers showed up around 2 a.m. after someone jumped a fence into a private property. Fisher faced a misdemeanor criminal trespassing charge and walked free after posting bond. He’s set to appear in Leawood Municipal Court on October 15.
Fisher told Star he wasn’t injured, but the arrest could cost him his private investigator license. He described it as just doing his job. Reps for Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and Justin Baldoni didn’t respond to requests for comment.
This all stems from Baldoni’s ongoing lawsuit with Blake Lively. She’s accusing him of sexual harassment on the set of “It Ends With Us” and claims his publicists launched a smear campaign against her afterward. Baldoni denies the harassment allegations and had countersued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for defamation and extortion. But a judge threw out his $400 million suit back in June.
Swift’s name entered the picture when Baldoni’s lawyers wanted to depose her as a witness. Court documents from earlier this month show they claimed she agreed to testify, but only if they got an extension on the deadline. However, Swift’s legal team fired back in a letter to the judge, saying she never agreed to any deposition at all.
Two days before Fisher’s arrest, the judge in the case—Lewis Liman—denied the extension request. In his ruling, obtained by CNN, Liman pointed out that discovery in the lawsuit has dragged on for six months. He noted Baldoni’s team hadn’t shown enough effort, like serving a new subpoena to Swift, to justify more time. “They have offered no evidence,” the judge wrote.
Swift’s lawyers added that if a deposition ever happens, her packed schedule—including the October 3 release of her new album, “Life of a Showgirl”—could fit it in during the week of October 20. For now, though, that testimony looks off the table.
The drama around “It Ends With Us” keeps unfolding, pulling in big names like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Fans of the celebrity feud and the movie are watching closely as the lawsuits play out in court.
