The Blake Lively - Justin Baldoni lawsuit has turned into nothing short of a spectacle. A former cop turned private investigator has now entered the picture after he was arrested outside Taylor Swift's fiancé, Travis Kelce's, house in Leawood, Kansas.
The man with the terrible plan was confirmed by PEOPLE to be Justin Lee Fisher, 48, who was ready to risk it all to serve the “Love Story” singer with deposition papers. The incident happened earlier this month on September 15 at 2 a.m.
Star was the first to report the news that Fisher was arrested for “jumping the fence onto a private residence in a private neighborhood.”
Process servers have gotten very creative when it comes to getting their job done, but there are rules when it comes to private property. According to the We Reserve Law, they must follow restrictions for gated communities and apartment buildings.
"They cannot enter without permission from the owner or occupant, and they must respect any restrictions on access," the site explains. "If a process server is not granted permission to enter private property, they cannot use physical force or coercion to gain access."
Kelce's team, the Kansas City Chiefs, had just lost the day before, September 14, 17-20, against the Philadelphia Eagles at home in Kansas.
It’s believed that Swift and Kelce were at the estate when the gate-jumping occurred. It’s been a somewhat unsettling time for Swift with multiple incidents involving strangers, so the situation could have been especially jarring.
Just a week earlier, she was granted a restraining order against a man who claimed they had a child together and had allegedly been stalking her at her Los Angeles home, according to TMZ.
All this to say, it looks like the deposition drama isn’t going away. Earlier this month, Baldoni’s legal team said Swift had agreed to be deposed after the release of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, dropping October 3. His attorney, Ellyn S. Garofalo, told the court the deposition would need to take place between October 20 and 25 due to her “preexisting professional obligations.”
However, Swift’s lawyers pushed back, telling the judge she never agreed to be deposed. “My client did not agree to a deposition,” they wrote, stressing that if she is forced into one, it could only happen in late October. With a recent engagement and a new album on the horizon, this is probably the last thing she wants on her schedule.
