Ryan Reynolds’ Shocking Move Ruins Blake Lively’s Lawsuit Against Justin Baldoni

The ongoing legal battle between Gossip Girl star Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni has taken a dramatic turn—one that no one expected, especially with the unexpected involvement of Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds. What started as a lawsuit over alleged misconduct on the set of It Ends With Us has now evolved into a full-blown Hollywood scandal, calling into question power dynamics and reputation management in the entertainment industry.

A Lawsuit That Shook Hollywood

Blake Lively’s lawsuit against Justin Baldoni initially made headlines due to serious allegations of inappropriate behavior on set. Reports surfaced claiming Baldoni was overly controlling, with some accusations escalating to harassment. Lively, who was both a lead actress and a producer on the project, took a firm stance, publicly championing a safe and respectful work environment.

However, what seemed like a straightforward case of accountability soon spiraled into a media frenzy, with new evidence surfacing that drastically shifted public perception. Rather than strengthening Lively’s position, it has now put both her and Ryan Reynolds in the hot seat.

Ryan Reynolds’ Involvement and the “Nice Pool” Controversy

As the legal battle intensified, resurfaced clips and interviews from Ryan Reynolds’ past projects began circulating online, particularly a scene from Deadpool 2. In this scene, Reynolds’ character, “Nice Pool,” makes a disturbingly specific joke about monetizing the women’s movement—something critics argue was a veiled jab at Baldoni.

The dialogue, in which Reynolds’ character says, “My calling is to one day host a podcast that monetizes the women’s movement,” has led many to believe that Reynolds was subtly mocking Baldoni’s reputation and work, particularly his efforts to highlight female-driven narratives in Hollywood.

This revelation has cast doubt on the legitimacy of Lively’s lawsuit, with many now questioning whether the allegations were fueled by a personal vendetta rather than genuine concerns about workplace misconduct.

The Public Turns Against Blake Lively

Blake Lively, once perceived as a Hollywood darling, is now facing immense scrutiny. Initially, she had the public’s sympathy, with many rallying behind her in support. However, as more details emerged, opinions began to shift.

Old interviews and behind-the-scenes clips resurfaced, painting Lively in a less favorable light. Some critics argue that her behavior toward crew members in past projects appeared dismissive and condescending, contradicting her carefully crafted “girl next door” image.

Even more damaging, the social media backlash has been swift and severe. Fans who once adored Lively and Reynolds are now unfollowing them in droves, signaling a significant drop in public support.

Justin Baldoni Strikes Back With a $400 Million Lawsuit

In response to the accusations, Justin Baldoni has launched a massive $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and even The New York Times. Baldoni’s legal team claims that Lively and Reynolds deliberately orchestrated a smear campaign to ruin his career and seize control of the It Ends With Us project.

Hollywood insiders suggest that this lawsuit could have devastating consequences for both Lively and Reynolds. If Baldoni’s claims hold up in court, the couple could face severe reputational and financial damage—potentially even blacklisting them from future projects.

Is This the End for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds?

Despite their efforts at damage control, Lively and Reynolds are struggling to recover from the backlash. PR experts have reportedly been working overtime to reshape the narrative, but the damage may already be done.

In an industry where image is everything, the fallout from this lawsuit could mark a turning point in both their careers. Will they be able to salvage their reputations, or is this the beginning of their decline in Hollywood?

Only time will tell.
