  1. > Ryan Reynolds asked a court on Tuesday to dismiss Justin Baldoni‘s legal claims against him, saying the actor cannot sue him over “hurt feelings.”

    > In a motion to dismiss on Tuesday, Reynolds’ lawyers did not dispute that Nicepool is based on Baldoni, but said that Baldoni had shown “thin-skinned outrage” by complaining about it.

  2. I’m so sick of all of these people. All of this nonsense for a shitty movie that no one cared for.

  3. some how the best tell about about whether or not a guy is a bit of a creep is when it’s a male who claims to be a feminist,  who has a manbun but also a clean shaven face. 

  4. First one to stop responding wins, please for the love of god

  5. “Among other things, Reynolds argued that it is “substantially true” that Baldoni is a predator, as Baldoni himself has confessed on podcast appearances to “crossing boundaries” in his younger days due to his addiction to pornography.

    “It would be perverse to permit Mr. Baldoni to build an entire brand — complete with a podcast, Ted Talk, and books — off of his confessions of repeatedly mistreating women, only to turn around and sue Mr. Reynolds for $400 million for simply pointing out in private what Mr. Baldoni has bragged about in public,” the motion argues.”

  6. I wonder if JB’s team could make the same argument against BL.

  7. The best ending to this would be if they all three got in a car and drove off a cliff.

  9. It’s America. You can be sued for all sorts of infantile shit

  11. Heartbreaking. The worst person you know is right.

  12. And his wife can’t sue bc she was postpartum and above her regular weight.

  14. He can sue if he likes and the outcome will depend on the case and jury, nothing is given in a court. if the Baldoni lawyers make a case RR could be in a world of hurt even if most think Baldoni doesn’t have a case.

  15. He’s Canadian, doesn’t realize in the U.S. you can be sued for anything.

  17. Am I crazy or is Reynolds calling this dude a predator ridiculous? Didn’t I see Baldoni whining about his college girlfriend took advantage of him sexually and his religion doesn’t even believe in sex before marriage?

    SO where is the predation?

  18. Didn’t his wife sue first?? Who has the hurt feelings?? All her claims were emotions based too?? I guess he is taking the trump approach: deny, deflect, and dehumanize. This probably means they are very worried she is going to lose the case and need to bring Ryan in as a Hail Mary.

  19. I’m becoming less and less of a Ryan Reynolds fan as this issue continues… His true colors are coming out.

  21. too bad his wife lied and said Justin did specific things to her only to see on video that it was HER doing those specific things to him instead.

  22. Okay but I am gonna sue all three of them because they annoy me

  25. I always kinda figured Ryan Reynolds was a piece of shit

  28. This is really rich from Reynolds. I understand this is the case he has to make legally to defend himself from Justin’s defamation claims — but he is now really risking torching his whole career by not finding a way to settle this and back away with what’s left of his and Blake’s reputations.

  31. is Blake Lively not also suing Baldoni for hurt feelings?

    There can be a world where everybody sucks on both sides.

    Baldoni can be a snakey “ally” who rode a empowerment movement’s wave to gain trust of women in both audiences and production.

    Blake Lively can be an opportunist bully who social-climbed her way into a level of relevance her talent never deserved.

    And Ryan Reynolds can be a narcissistic megalomaniac with a one-note talent and an unbearable amount of self-strategized overexposure.

    I hope all three are so far up their own asses that they drag this on and destroy each others’ careers permanently.

  33. Just because a plaintiff is guilty doesn’t make the defendant less guilty.

    isn’t some in pari delicto defense working in a case where feelings = money

  34. If I never hear about any of these people ever again it’ll be too soon 

  36. Man, Ryan Reynolds isn’t clean either. It’s just going to be tit for tat.

  37. If anyone from the Baldoni or Lively/Reynolds team sees this please relay a message to them for us: NO ONE GIVES A SHIT! WE HATE ALL OF YOU!

  40. Fucking crybabies. It’s satire. Eat shit, ball-dini

  41. Lively should have settled this back in the day. Her and Reynolds are for sure losing a lot continuing to fight this. I’m not saying Baldoni is a saint but he has produced enough evidence to prove that Lively’s side of the story is not what she says it is. Maybe she does win in court but all the info that comes out during “discovery” will likely tarnish their reputation. And to an actor/actress in this day reputation is EVERYTHING.
