The denial appears to challenge Kelly\u2019s characterization of events surrounding the high-profile legal dispute.<\/p>\n<p>The situation involves more complexity than initially apparent. While Lively\u2019s team maintains they never directly subpoenaed Kelly or her show, they did subpoena Red Seat Ventures, which has provided sales support, production, distribution, and marketing branding and sales services for content creators like Kelly and other media personalities. This distinction forms the basis of the apparent disagreement between the two parties.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"1740\" alt=\"Megyn Kelly\" class=\"wp-image-119830 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/megyn-kelly-photos-08082016-01-1160x1740.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/megyn-kelly-photos-08082016-01-1160x1740.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/megyn-kelly-photos-08082016-01-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/megyn-kelly-photos-08082016-01-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/megyn-kelly-photos-08082016-01-860x1290.jpg 860w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/megyn-kelly-photos-08082016-01.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"1740\" src=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/megyn-kelly-photos-08082016-01-1160x1740.jpg\" alt=\"Megyn Kelly\" class=\"wp-image-119830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/megyn-kelly-photos-08082016-01-1160x1740.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/megyn-kelly-photos-08082016-01-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/megyn-kelly-photos-08082016-01-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/megyn-kelly-photos-08082016-01-860x1290.jpg 860w, https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/megyn-kelly-photos-08082016-01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Megyn Kelly at arrivals for Variety\u2019s Power Of Women: New York Presented By Lifetime, Cipriani 42nd Street, New York, NY April 8, 2016.
