Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds Face Legal Struggles Amid Baldoni Lawsuit

Ryan Reynolds' reputation as 'Hollywood's nice guy' is under scrutiny following a $400 million defamation lawsuit filed by Justin Baldoni against him and his wife, Blake Lively, amidst allegations of sexual harassment against Baldoni. The ongoing legal battle has taken an emotional toll on both Lively and Reynolds, who have been largely low-profile in public while navigating these controversies. Lively maintains confidence in her case, describing it as a 'sideshow,' and has expressed gratitude for a recent court ruling that appeared to favor her. Meanwhile, experts suggest Reynolds is struggling to salvage his image, with public interactions being perceived as staged efforts to maintain his reputation. The lawsuit has prompted both actors to limit their public comments, as a federal judge warned against media statements that could influence juror selection. The trial is currently set for March 2026, with both parties preparing for an intense legal confrontation.
