Ryan Reynolds Makes First Public Appearance Since Start of Blake vs Baldoni Case
Ryan Reynolds appeared publicly for the first time following Blake Lively's legal conflict with Justin Baldoni. Dressed sharply in a light gray suit with dark gray lapels, Ryan attended the National Board of Review Awards Gala in New York, exuding Hollywood charisma. Lively had previously lodged a complaint accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and reputational damage during the filming of It Ends With Us. This is prepared by SSP.
During his appearance, Ryan introduced the honoree for the evening, Wicked, praising the film for featuring strong female leads and deriding society's different standards for women. Other celebrities at the gala included Robert Pattinson, Jesse Eisenberg, and Sofia Coppola. Reynolds mingled with fellow attendees like Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo and posed alongside director Jon M. Chu.
This event occurred as legal battles unfold between Lively and Baldoni. Lively claims Baldoni's on-set behavior caused emotional distress, leading to grievances filed in both the California Civil Rights Department and federal court. Baldoni and his team deny these allegations and recently filed a $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times, accusing it of misrepresenting communications regarding the suit.
The Times defended its coverage, maintaining that it was based on extensive documentation, including text messages cited accurately in the article. Despite this turmoil, Ryan and Blake persist in managing these challenges together while raising their children. Their resilience continues to shine through both personally and professionally amidst ongoing legal proceedings.
Earlier, SSP reported that Zendaya showcased engagement ring after Tom Holland's proposal news.
