ans are turning on Ryan Reynolds for allegedly mocking Justin Baldoni, amid the latest vicious twist of their spiraling legal battle.

In a brutal new court filing, Reynolds defended his wife Blake Lively and called Baldoni a ‘predator,’ deriding him for his ‘thin-skinned outrage’ and ‘hurt feelings.’

In his $400 million defamation lawsuit against Reynolds, Lively and the New York Times, Baldoni claimed to have been the basis for a comically ‘woke‘ character called Nicepool in Reynolds’ recent hit movie Deadpool v. Wolverine.

Lively was the first to sue in December last year, alleging that Baldoni ordered a ‘smear campaign’ against her due to tensions on the set of It Ends With Us, a domestic violence drama.

Baldoni, 41, retaliated with a $400 million defamation case against Lively, 37, and Reynolds, 48, as well as the New York Times, which ran a lengthy article about her claims.

His lawyers asked: ‘What does Ryan Reynolds have to do with (this case), legally speaking, other than being a supportive spouse who has witnessed firsthand the emotional, reputational, and financial devastation Ms. Lively has suffered? Nothing.’

In a 2021 episode of his podcast, Man Enough’ in which he talked about masculinity, Baldoni said: ‘I grew up and I had an addiction to porn. I was introduced to porn at 10 years old, formed these neural pathways in my brain, and it caused me to see the world very differently.’
