Ryan Reynolds defended for calling Justin Baldoni a ‘predatory fraudster’

Justin Baldoni Ryan Reynolds Blake Lively Taylor Swift

Private text messages and emails from Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and even Taylor Swift have been unsealed as part of Lively's 2024 lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.
Lively is accusing Baldoni, her It Ends With Us director and co-star, of sexual harassment and attempting to damage her reputation, claims which he denies.
Ryan Reynolds' leaked texts reveal him calling Baldoni a “thoroughbred, predatory fraudster” and an “inexplicably toxic mess” in exchanges with his agent.
A representative for Reynolds defended his actions, stating he supported his wife against sexual harassment and retaliation, believing he “wasn't angry enough”.
A federal judge is currently considering Lively's lawsuit, with a trial scheduled for 18 May, and A-listers like Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid, and Emily Blunt could be called as witnesses.
