Justin Baldoni continues his legal war on Blake Lively.
His latest filing labels her husband, Ryan Reynolds, as her “co-conspirator.”
Baldoni has gone after Reynolds, essentially accusing him of being mean to him following Baldoni’s alleged misconduct towards Lively.
Now, he alleges that Reynolds standing by his wife amounts to a defamatory conspiracy, insisting that the lawsuit must go on.
Justin Baldoni’s lawsuit is about more than Blake Lively
Us Weekly reports that in a Thursday, April 3 court filing, Justin Baldoni’s attorneys are lashing out at Ryan Reynolds’ motion to dismiss.
Reynolds, Baldoni’s attorneys argue, “pretends that the Wayfarer Parties’ First Amended Complaint (the ‘FAC’) fails to set forth any basis for his liability and that he merely acted as a supportive spouse. Not so.”
Team Baldoni insists: “The FAC specifically alleges ample facts to support the Wayfarer Parties’ claims against him, based on both his direct actions and his liability as a co-conspirator.”
Furthermore, attorneys for Baldoni say that if Reynolds receives his motion to dismiss, he should not be able to recover any attorneys’ fees from their client.
Simply put, it appears that Reynolds’ filing to dismiss the lawsuit against him is poking holes in the lawsuit itself while also noting that Reynolds is allowed to dislike someone (especially while supporting his wife).
Meanwhile, Team Baldoni is portraying Reynolds as a “co-conspirator” in an alleged defamation conspiracy. The details on this seem pretty vague — but, perhaps, they will lay out a more comprehensive case in spring of 2026, in court.
Now, Team Ryan Reynolds has issued a response
Speaking to Us Weekly, a spokesperson for Reynolds is not mincing words.
“The main takeaway from the Wayfarer Parties’ opposition to Ryan’s motion to dismiss their case is that they finally realize the plain defects in their complaint,” the statement read.
Team Reynolds continued: “They once again claim defamation without alleging who was defamed, what specifically was said, or how anyone suffered actual harm.”
