Taylor Swift Witnesses Ryan Reynolds Confront Justin Baldoni
Recent court documents have revealed a heated confrontation involving Ryan Reynolds, Justin Baldoni, and the presence of Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman. This incident stemmed from allegations that Baldoni inquired about Blake Lively’s weight during rehearsals for “It Ends With Us,” which ignited a fierce reaction from Reynolds.
Details of the Confrontation
According to the timeline from Wayfarer Studios’ co-founder Jamey Heath, the confrontation took place on April 25, 2023, at Reynolds and Lively’s New York apartment. Reynolds reportedly confronted Baldoni after he learned Baldoni asked Lively’s trainer for her weight. Reynolds expressed his outrage, allegedly stating, “How dare you f—ing ask about my wife’s weight?”
Baldoni’s Reaction and Apology
The documents indicate that Baldoni felt completely embarrassed and repeatedly apologized during the encounter. Witnesses noted that he was visibly distressed, even shedding tears with Swift and Jackman present. Baldoni later attempted to justify his inquiry by claiming it was for a scene requiring him to lift Lively safely. However, Lively’s team dismissed this explanation.
Legal Actions and Accusations
The confrontation occurs amid a broader legal dispute. In December 2024, Lively initiated a lawsuit against Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios, accusing them of harassment and creating a hostile work environment. Baldoni, in turn, filed a countersuit alleging that Lively was “weaponizing” her friendship with Swift and referencing their mutual connections in his texts.
Swift’s Involvement in the Controversy
While Swift is not directly involved in the film, her close ties to Lively have drawn her into the controversy. Reports suggest that Swift expressed interest in the film and that she may feel entangled in the ongoing legal battle. An insider noted that Swift wishes she had not become part of the situation.
Industry Impact and Reputation
The trial, set for March 2026, is expected to attract significant media attention as it features numerous notable personalities, including Jackman, Emily Blunt, and Gigi Hadid. Industry experts comment that Reynolds’ reputation as a friendly figure might be tarnished due to this incident, with growing concerns about his public persona.
