Taylor Swift drama grows as ex-cop is arrested outside Travis Kelce’s home during deposition attempt
The incident occurs amid a dispute between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively over the film It Ends With Us; Swift and Kelce were inside the residence when the arrest occurred.
A man was arrested outside Travis Kelce's Kansas City-area home on Sept. 15 after attempting to serve deposition papers in a dispute involving Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. Justin Lee Fisher, 48, described as the head of executive protection, was accused of jumping a fence to reach the private estate, according to People. Police records cited by Star indicated the incident occurred around 2 a.m. and noted that Swift and Kelce were inside the residence at the time. The information in the police report was described as restricted in dissemination by one page quoted in reports.
Fisher's arrival at Kelce's property was linked to Baldoni's legal team, which was seeking to serve deposition papers in Baldoni's ongoing dispute with Lively over the movie It Ends With Us. Baldoni's camp contends that Lively used her friendship with Swift to influence or control aspects of the production, while Swift's team has maintained she did not agree to participate in a deposition.
The deposition matter arose after a letter filed with the court on Sept. 11 indicated that Swift would sit for questioning in the Baldoni-Lively dispute if the parties could resolve certain disagreements. Swift's legal team has disputed that characterization, saying the pop star did not agree to a deposition, though they indicated flexibility if required by the court. The judge overseeing the matter, Lewis J. Liman, later denied Baldoni's request to extend the Sept. 30 discovery deadline, reducing the likelihood that Swift would be deposed in the near term.
The legal friction stretches beyond the deposition issue. In December, Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department alleging sexual harassment, retaliation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and related claims against Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath. Baldoni, who and Lively had collaborated on It Ends With Us, filed his own lawsuit in January claiming that Lively's actions were designed to repair her reputation after the film's tour and that she pressed various allegations without sufficient evidence. Liman dismissed Baldoni's suit against Lively in June. The cases have since been maneuvered through state and federal courts as the parties continue to contest the production dynamics and alleged missteps.
The incident outside Kelce’s home underscores how high-profile entertainment disputes can intersect with celebrity security realities and the legal processes surrounding deposition notices. Representatives for Swift and for the Leawood Police Department did not disclose additional comment beyond the court filings and press reports available. The case remains active as Baldoni and Lively continue to pursue their separate legal courses, while Swift’s involvement—if any—appears constrained by court rulings and scheduling logistics.
