Accusations Arise Over Deadpool Character

Ryan Reynolds is facing allegations from attorney Bryan Freedman, representing Justin Baldoni, that his character Nicepool in 'Deadpool & Wolverine' mocks Baldoni amid ongoing legal disputes involving Baldoni and Blake Lively. Freedman claims that Nicepool's hairstyle and comments about Lively, who plays Ladypool, suggest a connection to Baldoni, who has been accused of sexual harassment by Lively. During an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, Freedman stated, "If your wife is sexually harassed, you don’t make fun of Justin Baldoni," emphasizing the seriousness of the issue. Lively's lawsuit against Baldoni includes claims of a toxic work environment, which Baldoni contests as part of a smear campaign against him. The tensions between the involved parties have escalated, with Baldoni seeking $250 million in his counter-lawsuit against Lively for alleged libel and fraud. This controversy highlights the complex interplay of personal and professional conflicts in Hollywood.
