Hugh Jackman Reportedly Witnessed Ryan Reynolds Confront Justin Baldoni Over โBlake โLively Comments
LOS ANGELES, CA – Actor Hugh Jackman โฃwas allegedly presentโข when Ryan Reynolds confronted Justin Baldoni regarding comments Baldoni made โabout Blake Lively’s appearance, accordingโ toโ a report from Page โSix.โฃ Theโ incident reportedly stemmed from Baldoni’s remarksโค about Lively’s body during aโข recent interview promoting โhis film, “It Endsโ Withโ Us,” which Lively stars in.
The alleged confrontation underscores a growing rift between Taylor Swift and Lively, โฃwith sources indicating Swift feels “used” by the situation and has โขmaintained distance from Lively sinceโข the โขcontroversy began last โyear. The incident, and theโ subsequent fallout,โฃ highlights the intense scrutiny celebrities face โregarding their bodies and relationships, and the protectiveโฃ instincts of their partners and friends.
Sources โtold Page Six that Reynolds โdirectly addressed Baldoniโ over the comments,with Jackman witnessing the exchange.Baldoni had discussed Lively’s physique while speaking about the physical demands of the role in “It ends With Us,” leading โto accusations of “fat-shaming.”
“taylor really wishesโ Blake hadn’t dragged her into this whole situation,” an insider told Page Six in February. “[They] have โขbeen โfriends for โคyears and Taylor cherishes genuine friendships, but she can’t help but feel used at this point.”
The source added that Swift and Lively have โคhad “no contact” since the drama surrounding the film and Baldoni’s comments began unfolding last year. Another source revealed to Page Six last month that Swiftโ and Lively were “still keeping their distance from one another.”
The situation arose as Livelyโฃ navigates a legalโ battle with Baldoni, her co-star in “It โEnds With โคUs,” stemming from allegations made during the film’s production. The film, based on Colleen Hoover’s novel, has faced scrutiny and controversy since its release.
