• Ryan Reynolds breaks social media silence
  • Blake Lively files lawsuit against Justin Baldoni
  • Allegations of harassment and retaliation

Ryan Reynolds has broken his social media silence, sharing a poignant message on Instagram just days after his wife, Blake Lively, filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni. The actor, known for his role as "Deadpool," took to Instagram to promote a charity campaign with Sick Kids Hospital. "It's almost Christmas Eve. Last day to donate to @sickkids. @blakelively and I are matching any donation to $500k," he wrote. This comes during what he hints is a challenging time, as Lively's lawsuit against Baldoni unfolds, alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign.

Blake Lively's allegations against Baldoni

On December 20, Blake Lively filed a lawsuit in the California Civil Rights Department against Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and creating a toxic work environment. The lawsuit reveals disturbing details, including allegations that Baldoni improvised intimate scenes without consent and made inappropriate inquiries about Lively's personal life. Baldoni has denied all accusations. The lawsuit also claims that Baldoni's crisis management team attempted to launch a smear campaign against Lively after she raised concerns about his behavior.
