‘Ryan Reynolds Actually Is That Man.’ After Justin Baldoni’s Lawyers Called Deadpool Star Blake Lively’s ‘Co-Conspirator,’ His Rep Didn’t Hold Back

by

Ryan Reynolds is seeking to withdraw from a defamation lawsuit brought against him by Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios. However, Baldoni’s legal team has countered this motion, alleging that Reynolds is acting as a ‘co-conspirator’ in the case. As the legal battle over the film “It Ends With Us” continues, Reynolds’ representative has issued a strong response to this accusation.

Justin Baldoni’s Lawyer Called Ryan Reynolds Blake Lively’s ‘Co-Conspirator’ In Statement About The Deadpool Actor’s Motion To Dismiss

On April 1st, Baldoni’s legal team submitted a counterargument to Reynolds’ request for dismissal from the lawsuit. In their response, they argued that the actor played a more active role than just being a supportive spouse in the case at hand. They further described him as a “co-conspirator” in this particular situation, providing an explanation (as reported by People).

He argues that the Wayfarer Parties’ First Amended Complaint (the ‘FAC’) does not establish any grounds for his liability, claiming he only played the role of a supportive spouse. However, this is inaccurate. The FAC indeed presents sufficient facts to substantiate the Wayfarer Parties’ claims against him, drawing on both his direct actions and his responsibility as a co-conspirator.

In the same document, the legal team for the actor stated that it’s almost unthinkable for Reynolds to have his case dismissed. But if by chance that occurs, they emphasized that he shouldn’t be entitled to reimbursement for his legal costs.

Indeed, the actor from The Adam Project has been involved in discussions surrounding It Ends With Us, with Baldoni’s statements mentioning Reynolds as well. Notably, following Blake Lively’s initial complaint towards the end of last year, Baldoni’s legal team retaliated by filing several lawsuits, one of which targets both Lively and her spouse.

Additionally, there has been much debate over whether Deadpool and Wolverine were poking fun at the director through the character Nicepool. For quite some time now, discussions have also surrounded Reynolds’ role in the production of It Ends With Us. Furthermore, a defamation lawyer found it “unusual but not surprising” that Reynolds was included in this legal case.

But he’s leaving soon, and after Baldoni’s group replied, Reynolds’ representative responded quickly.

Then, Ryan Reynolds’ Rep Responded

Following the submission of Justin Baldoni’s team’s response, a representative for Ryan Reynolds countered. This representative pointed out that the other party had made a defamation accusation “without naming who was allegedly harmed.” They further commended their client and his bond with Blake Lively.

On another occasion, they assert defamation without specifying who was harmed, detailing exactly what comments were made, or proving any real damage occurred. Contrastingly, Mr. Baldoni cultivated his image as a man open to listening to the women in his life. In contrast, Ryan Reynolds genuinely embodies this character and will remain steadfast in backing his wife as she faces off against those who not only verbally attacked her but also retaliated further against her.

As a cinephile, I’m sharing some insider news: The representative for the stars of Deadpool & Wolverine has asserted that the lawsuit filed by Baldoni is unsuccessful. If this turns out to be true, it may require Wayfarer to cover Ryan Reynolds’ legal expenses.

Additionally, along with Ryan Reynolds’ request to dismiss, Lively also submitted a similar motion. This prompted Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s attorney, to label Lively’s action as “a particularly reprehensible instance of misusing our legal system.

In response, the team representing the Gossip Girl star stated that her co-star’s team has yet to challenge their cases. This suggests they acknowledge that Blair Waldorf (the character played by Lively) has made legitimate legal claims they can’t refute with a single reason to throw out the case. Additionally, it mentions that several parties who have been sued by Baldoni and Wayfarer have already requested to dismiss their lawsuits.

In summary, this back-and-forth makes an intricate legal dispute even more multifaceted. Therefore, as we delve deeper into the details of Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively’s motion to dismiss, along with other aspects of their legal proceedings, we will keep you informed.
