McElhenney, Olson Support Lively in Baldoni Legal Battle

Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson have publicly and privately supported Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively as the couple faces a legal battle with Justin Baldoni, which began in December 2024. Blake Lively accused Baldoni, her 'It Ends With Us' co-star and director, of sexual harassment and retaliation, allegations Baldoni denies. In response, Baldoni filed a $400 million countersuit against Lively and Reynolds for extortion and defamation. McElhenney, who co-owns Wrexham A.F.C. with Reynolds, emphasized the closeness of their friendship and their goal to offer support discreetly. Olson praised Lively's character on social media. The case remains ongoing, with a trial date set for March 2026.
