Yeah, actually, this isn't me. This is AI. So
I'm not sure what I put in here. Let's see. No,
I'm just kidding. OK, so Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds
wife, if you're not familiar or was her name
like female Deadpool, Mrs. Lady, Lady Deadpool,
Lady Deadpool, Lady Deadpool. So she she did
a movie entitled it ends with us. I did not watch
it because it seemed like a very sad depressing
movie about domestic violence. However, I recently
found out that there's a lot of on set drama
to kind of unpack about this, which is kind of
insane. And now lawsuits and now lawsuits, lawsuits
from both sides. It's really kind of crazy. So
I'm going to try to like walk us through a little
bit of what we currently know. So at the very
beginning, Blake filed a complaint with the California
Civil Rights Department claiming that her costar
invaded her privacy entering her makeup trailer
uninvited while she was undressed. He also supposedly
pressured her into trying to lose weight like
she had just had a baby. Yeah, she just had a
baby. He evidently was trying to make her like
lose weight. I don't really know. This is really
kind of interesting. Her co -star. I do not know
how to pronounce his name. Baldoni. Yeah, Justin
Baldoni. He was supposed he was dropped by his
tallied. talent agency. Um, and then also vital
voices, a nonprofit that focuses on empowering
women, um, rescinded an award it gave to him
who, um, has made a career expressing his support
of women's stories and co -hosted a podcast.
Uh, we're not going to kind of get into that,
but supposedly he had a podcast. He kind of wanted
to kind of promote women and their stories. He
won an award on it. And then they took that award
back because of these allegations. And then it
just like keeps piling on. Then he was sued by
his ex publicist over an alleged conspiracy to
discredit her and still her clients. Right. I
don't really know. Then Blake formally filed
a lawsuit in New York federal court against him.
Let's see here. Then he filed a libel lawsuit
against the New York Times for their reporting
on the story. Yeah, he filed a 250 million dollar
lawsuit against the New York Times. And then
that's when he started fighting back. He stated
he was going to sue Blake into oblivion and kind
of accused her of multiple allegations. I don't
know long story short and 2026 March 9th. We're
actually going to see a trial day. This is going
to be very interesting. I think basically this
is a very classic tale of a woman kind of speaks
out of sexual harassment and then like the male
starts kind of firing back. But my question is,
is this going to be like the new? I know it's
not going to be as big because her costar is
not really that well known, but is this going
to be like the next Amber Heard, Johnny Depp
case? No, because it's not like they were married,
right? Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were married
and that one was who? So the reason I had tagged
this story a while ago and we didn't do it on
the show because I wasn't sure about this story
and the reason that I wasn't sure about the story
was because The the drama had started right before
the movie came out Was that when they were doing
press tours and stuff that the press started
getting word that something weird was happening
based on the based on what was going on with
the It Ends With Us. And the rumors that were
coming out at the time was that Ryan Reynolds
and Blake Lively, because Justin Baldoni directed
this as well. Right. He wasn't just in it. He
directed the film was that they had basically
taken over post -production and shut him out.
Right. And that there was a whole big thing with
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively on one side and.
And and and and just about Tony on the other.
So this is before all the other stuff, you know,
came out. I don't know. And I didn't know what
to make of it at the time. Right. And then obviously
all the damn lawsuits started getting filed first
by Blake Lively and then by him. So do I think
this is another Johnny Depp, Amber Heard situation?
No. What I. I'll be honest, I've read both criminal.
I've read both civil complaints. Oh, wow. To
include the text messages that were released
and stuff like that. I. You want my honest opinion?
A hundred percent. I think this is two shitty
people. Who were doing shitty things to one another.
Right. My wife knows this like there's a there's
a whole genre of TV shows that I call rich people
doing shitty things to each other right Okay,
like and that's like is like Succession and stuff
like that yellow stone. I'm like look rich people
doing shitty things to each other. Woohoo. Like
I'm sorry. I just I You're doing shitty things
to each other. Yeah, I love Ryan Reynolds movies
Do but there is a portion of Ryan Reynolds that
reminds me of people that I have known in real
life when I see interviews with him and it's
I don't wanna say it's It sets off the like the
hairs on the back of my neck where I'm like,
I know people like you right? Yeah, you're extremely
charismatic Everybody wants to like you but there
is something just under the surface. That's kind
of fucked up I so I don't know what to make of
this lawsuit on either side. And so, again, my
honest opinion, it's two rich, shitty people
doing rich, shitty things to one another. Right.
And I, I mean, I would say that was also Johnny
Depp and Amber Heard. Uh, my takeaway from it
was they were both rich people doing shitty things
to each other. And it got kind of out of hand.
Uh, yes, they're not married. Um, but I don't
know. This is, um, this is interesting. It's,
I think it's going to be interesting to see.
once it gets to court. Yes. But I won't be surprised
if this goes away. I will not be. Shocked. Right.
If all of a sudden both cases are dropped and
there is a quiet settlement. With nothing disclosed.
Right. Yeah, like. If that story was to cut,
if deadline was to come out tomorrow and be like,
both both cases have been settled out of court
with terms undisclosed. I. I won't I won't be
shocked, like I will not be surprised, right?
This just feels ugly and messy. Yeah. Why did
you clock this story for the rundown today? I
guess that's what I'm curious about. Like, what
what grabbed you about this? Yeah. First of all,
I just want to like shout out. So, Logan, love
you, too. She said, hey, guys, love your insights.
Let's see here. So Canada Dry 86 stated that
she never so she she said that she read the book,
but she never saw the movie. She's not a great
person. One. Evidently, she romanticizes the
romanticizes abuse and it's icky to her son was
accused of sexual harassment. And I think she's
talking about the author of the book that the
movie was based on. Author of the book. Yeah.
Very interesting there. It's see, that's like,
I don't know. That's so one to answer your question,
Alex. One. I recently just heard about it for
the first time and I think it was the actually
setting of the court. I don't know the date of
the court case next year that I actually heard
about it. I was like, wait, what is this? And
I started looking into it and it was the interesting
thing of a movie about domestic abuse has a sexual
harassment lawsuit. slash defamation lawsuit.
And then now, I guess, you know, Canada Dry 86
is pointing out that the author tried to sweep
up sexual harassment under the rug. This whole
story is just like really interesting how a movie
could go from, hey, this is a movie about. We're
trying to. Yeah, we're trying to like we're trying
to highlight domestic abuse and things and make
it better. Yeah. But then it like. Spawns sexual
abuse. Oh, God. I don't know. It's it's very.
Ironic, I guess, in a very sad way. It's it really
is fucking strange. It's really, really strange.
Yeah, we'll keep an eye on the story if you guys
like this story. Leave it down in the comments.
Tell us if you want us to keep talking about
about topics like this again. I'd clock this
one a while ago. But again, it's this one's so
weird and messy. And it's like, well, I release
these text messages. Well, I release these ones.
And it's like, it's funny how each of you is
releasing different sets of messages. That each
of you have, but the other one didn't release
the same one like. Something about this is clocking
weird to me. Anyway, let us know what you think
down in the comments below about this whole situation
Yeah
