Since Saturday, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have been making headlines owing to their legal woes. They both starred together in ‘It Ends With Us,’ and now reports are doing the rounds that Blake has accused her co-star and director of the movie for sexual harassment. The lawsuit also states Justin has tried to smear her reputation which caused her “severe emotional distress” while making the film. Amid this legal dispute, Blake Lively’s husband and actor Ryan Reynolds has maintained a silence so far. He hasn’t commented or reacted to the lawsuit or the events surrounding it. However, the latest reports suggest that the ‘Deadpool vs Wolverine’ actor had blocked Justin shortly before the release of It Ends With Us.
Yes, you read that right, Ryan blocked Justin and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, on Instagram. According to Page Six, Justin himself informed his publicist in May this year that Ryan blocked him on Instagram, as Baldoni allegedly was ‘worried’ that Blake might ‘follow suit.’
“We should have a plan for IF she does the same when [the] movie comes out. Just want you guys to have a plan. Plans make me feel more at ease,” Justin wrote in his text message to his team.
Meanwhile, coming to the lawsuit filed against Justin by Blake, according to the New York Times report, ‘The Gossip Girl’ star claimed Justin showed her nude videos and photos of other women. He also allegedly discussed his porn addiction and made inappropriate remarks about her weight, her late father, and more.
As of now, Justin Baldoni’s representatives have denied the accusations, describing them as “categorically false.”
