A private investigator, previously a police officer, was reported to have been arrested at Travis Kelce’s home in Kansas while allegedly trying to deliver deposition papers for Taylor Swift on behalf of Justin Bardoni’s lawyer.
As noted by a source, Justin Lee Fisher was said to have “jumped a fence into a private residence.” The Leawood Police Department confirmed his arrest for trespassing on September 15, but didn’t publicly confirm his identity.
The police were dispatched to a gated community shortly after 2 AM, and Fisher faced misdemeanor charges for trespassing. He has since been released after posting bail.
Fisher is scheduled to appear in Leawood City Court on October 15 regarding his case. He stated that he was not injured during the incident, and it seems there might have been some internal issues about the intentions behind his actions.
Reactions from representatives for Fisher, Swift, Kels, and Bardoni have not been detailed.
Interestingly, just two days prior to Fisher’s arrest, the judge overseeing Bardoni’s litigation against Blake Lively denied requests to postpone the proceedings to allow for Swift’s appearance. The judge remarked that Bardoni’s team did not adequately justify the need for an extension, claiming Swift’s other commitments prevented her from showing up until October 20, 2025.
This case has been mired in complexities, with the judge expressing frustration over the lack of diligent effort presented by Bardoni’s legal representatives. A document indicated Swift had consented to testify, but her lawyers refuted that assertion, stating she never agreed to step down for the deposition.
Meanwhile, Swift’s eagerly anticipated album, “Life of a Showgirl,” is set for release on October 3.
Amid these legal troubles, Lively is suing Bardoni for alleged sexual harassment that occurred during filming, as well as for purportedly orchestrating a smear campaign against her. Bardoni has denied these claims, while also facing significant counterclaims, which were dismissed in June.
