00:00Justin Baldoni is suing Blake Lively for even more millions of dollars than she had sued him for.
00:06Justin officially files a $400 million counter suit.
00:10That's right, Justin clapped back with a whooping $400 million suit,
00:15and this time even Taylor Swift's name is involved.
00:18The Grammy winner appears to be mentioned in the $400 million counter suit filed by Justin January 16.
00:24Justin and his production company Wayfair Studios just filed this large suit against his It's Ends With Us co-star Blake,
00:33Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist Leslie Sloan, and they are seeking millions of millions of dollars.
00:39Okay, so Justin is claiming that Blake is this massive control freak,
00:44and every step of the production process for It's Ends With Us involved Blake's two cents.
00:50This suit is specifically focused on her trying to take control of the movie and the alleged campaign to smear Baldoni.
00:58So not only did she allegedly try to take control of the movie that he directed,
01:04but she was trying to also destroy his reputation.
01:07Apparently the docs obtained by TMZ, Blake was determined to make Baldoni the real-life villain in her story,
01:14to take away from the fact that she was getting called tone deaf while the film's media tour was happening.
01:20So there was a lot going down while the movie was being filmed.
01:23This whole drama really started back in May 2023, and Justin claimed she orchestrated a takeover strategy for creative control.
01:32So Justin also blames Blake's best friend Taylor Swift, that's right Swifties,
01:38and her husband Ryan Reynolds, of basically inserting themselves into the whole script writing process.
01:44According to him, Blake had rewritten the important rooftop scene where the main characters meet.
01:50He claims that they had a meeting at Blake and Ryan's New York City penthouse to discuss the rewrite,
01:56but in hindsight he feels it was more of an ambush.
02:00Justin says that Ryan kicked things off by enthusiastically endorsing Blake's version of the scene,
02:06and a few hours later Taylor arrived to share her thoughts, also praising Blake's rewrite.
02:12In the suit, Justin states he understood the subtext.
02:16He needed to comply with Lively's direction for the script.
02:20Following that meeting, he texts Blake saying he liked her changes and would have felt that way even without Ryan and Taylor's input.
02:26For the record, he's included those texts in the suit.
02:30In one message, Blake makes this playful comment, Game of Thrones reference,
02:36calling herself Khaleesi and saying,
02:38I happen to have a few dragons, we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine,
02:42which was a way to describe Reynolds and Taylor Swift.
02:46Now Blake and Justin have also exchanged emails between the two before filming started,
02:52and Blake was expressing gratitude but Justin thinks it was all a front to ultimately take control in the end.
02:58Some surprising moments early on included the fact that she never even read the book.
03:02That's, yeah, like she literally didn't read the book when they were working on the script.
03:06Crazy, right?
03:08He claims she even tried to Google the color of the character's hair.
03:10Pick up the book, Blake, come on.
03:12Another annoying moment for Justin to deal with was Blake's request on the character's wardrobe.
03:18She had a rich and sexy look that she wanted, but Justin told her she was playing a struggling small business owner.
03:26This was a crazy request and could have been avoided if she read the book.
03:30Taken while she was promoting the film, which has a deep message behind it,
03:34she was also trying to promote her hair care and drink line, which does not align at all.
03:40Like, time and place here.
03:42Now, Justin also spells out the moment in January 2024 when he, Blake, Ryan, and other cast and crew members had a meeting.
03:50Blake apparently came in ready to change everything while they were getting ready for reshoots of the film.
03:54This is also the same meeting where Ryan was coming at Justin for claims that Blake had made during them filming,
04:00which were pretty, you know, pretty crazy if you know what they were.
04:04Now, Justin describes the situation stating that Blake unleashed Ryan on Baldoni and Wayfairy.
04:12He claims that despite meeting most of Blake's demands, she continued to say she would derail the movie unless she was allowed to create her own cut of the film.
04:20Now, according to Justin, Sony Studios, the film's distributor, informed Wayfair that Blake refused to promote the movie unless she could produce her own cut.
04:28So they decided to make it a competition.
04:30Both his version and Blake's would be shown to an audience and the version that tested better would ultimately become the final cut.
04:36So Justin claims his version scored significantly higher with key audience demographics, but says that not surprisingly,
04:43Blake didn't keep her promise and insisted that Sony release her version, which it did.
04:48He says the situation essentially made him step down from directing the movie.
04:52Because, I mean, at this point, it's like, what is he getting from what he wants versus what she's demanding?
04:58Despite all this, Justin claims that the pressure and dragging continued.
05:02As the movie was released, all of the cast unfollowed him on social media and supported Blake.
05:07Justin says that this was when Blake's PR team, led by Leslie Sloane, made major efforts with a campaign to frame Blake as Marjorie and pin the blame on him.
05:16He also claims that Sloane collaborated with his ex-publicist, whom he recently fired,
05:21and assessed her company phone to retrieve numerous texts used to concoct a false narrative about him.
05:28The suit includes numerous texts Sloane allegedly sent to various media outlets, including TMZ,
05:34in which he tried to divert attention from Lively's trinical behavior on set.
05:40This suit is no joke. With $400 million being sought from Lively and Sloane, this race is nowhere near complete.
05:46Baldoni also has his suit against the New York Times for $250 million over the article that they try to make him the bad guy
05:53for apparently orchestrating a smear campaign against Blake.
05:57But who will have the last word and get the final paycheck in the end?
06:01It's hard to say. I guess you can say Baldoni's currently in the lead, in my opinion.
06:05I mean, he's got Taylor involved. He's got Ryan involved, the publicist.
06:11He's got all these text messages and everything kind of ready to go.
06:15And I don't know. I guess Blake's going to really have to clap back to make a comeback here.
06:20Justin Baldoni can't get enough of the Blake Lively family, and now he is going after Ryan Reynolds.
06:26Justin Baldoni just dropped his $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
06:33The It Ends With Us actor-director is now suing Ryan Reynolds and their publicist.
06:38Knowing the star power Ryan has, this probably isn't ending well for Justin.
06:42But who's to say that? He has proof of a lot of different things, and we don't know what he has against Ryan.
06:49Justin is raising eyebrows by insisting that Disney and Marvel executives keep all documents related to a Deadpool and Wolverine character
06:56named Nice Bull, a character he believes was created to poke fun at him.
07:01Guilty on all charges, your honor.
07:04Character is a deliberate attempt to mock and bully the star.
07:07This request comes on the heels of Justin's ongoing disputes with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively,
07:12which have led to a messy web of lawsuits stemming from It Ends With Us.
07:16According to Justin, Ryan mishandled this creative influence on the Marvel summer hit,
07:20using the Nice Bull character to undermine him and add fuel to the tensions surrounding Blake Lively during the production of It Ends With Us.
07:27Meanwhile, Blake has alleged in a lawsuit that Justin acted improperly towards her during filming claims.
07:32Justin has adamantly denied.
07:34He's also suing the New York Times for $250 million in a defamation suit concerning a December 21st, 2024 story
07:41titled We Can Bury Anyone Inside Hollywood's Mirror Machine.
07:44Variety reported recently that Justin's attorney, Brian Friedman, sent a letter on January 7th, 2025
07:51to Disney CEO, Marvel president, and director who helmed the first Deadpool movie,
07:57requesting that they preserve all relevant documents and data about Justin.
08:01Justin's legal team has sent a letter to presidents of Disney and Marvel Studios.
08:06DailyMail.com noted that the letter was issued right as the Pacific Palisades flame broke out,
08:11which reportedly took care of Friedman's own home,
08:14likely explaining why things have been quieter on the legal front in recent days.
08:19In his message, Friedman asked the others to hold any records concerning the creation and development
08:24of the Nice Pool character, as well as any exchanges about including him in storylines or scenes.
08:29Friedman specifically requested anything showing a deliberate attempt to mock, harass, ridicule,
08:35intimidate, or bully Justin through his character of Nice Pool,
08:38hinting that they may soon accuse Ryan Blake and their associates of trying to ruin Justin's reputation.
08:44Variety also said Friedman's notice references possible future claims of
08:48tortious interference with contract and civil extortion against Ryan and Blake.
08:53Additionally, the letter asks for materials related to Tim Miller's departure from the franchise
08:58and any instance where Ryan had creative control over a film.
09:02Ryan has kept silent about Nice Pool, even as fans online claim it's a jab at Justin.
09:07There's also an intriguing connection.
09:09The actor portraying Nice Pool is credited as Gordon Reynolds,
09:12which matches a name Blake lively thanked in the end credits of It Ends With Us.
09:16During a January 7, 2025 appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, Friedman made it clear
09:21he believes Ryan created the Nice Pool character to embarrass Justin.
09:24He added,
09:25What Ryan Reynolds has seemingly done is use his power and influence on Deadpool
09:29to make fun of Justin Baldoni.
09:31Megyn Kelly then played a snippet featuring the Nice Pool character sporting a man bun
09:34similar to the ones Justin has worn and bantering about social activism,
09:38Blake's own Lady Pool character, and her pregnancy.
09:41Goodness, wait till you see Lady Pool. She is gorgeous.
09:44She just had a baby too.
09:46Friedman said the scene was obviously designed to poke fun at Justin.
09:49Friedman also stated that if Blake was truly the target of unwanted or improper behavior,
09:54Ryan's comedic approach to the situation is inappropriate.
09:57You don't make it into a joke, Friedman told Kelly,
09:59adding that serious allegations usually follow more formal protocols,
10:03like filing reports or pursuing legal measures, rather than comedic sketches.
10:08According to Friedman, mocking Justin in this way
10:11casts doubt on the credibility of Blake's complaints.
10:13If someone is harassed in a serious way, you don't treat it like a punchline, he emphasized.
10:17Friedman went on to describe how the Nice Pool character's traits were, in his view,
10:21all too obvious nonce to Justin's appearance and public persona.
10:25There's no question it relates to Justin, Friedman maintained.
10:28Anybody who sees the man bun, hears the comments about pregnancy, can connect the dots.
10:32He also said that Ryan will for sure face a lawsuit related to
10:35It ends with us hinting that Ryan helped Blake Lively take over the film.
10:38Friedman even shared a story about Blake telling people at the premiere
10:41that Ryan penned a scene for the movie,
10:43a revelation that supposedly startled Sony officials and production staff
10:47since the only credited writers were Christy Hall and Colleen Hoover.
10:50Nonetheless, Justin opted for grace instead of making a scene.
10:54Brian Friedman dropped an eye-opening piece of info on The Megyn Kelly Show,
10:58revealing that his client, Justin Baldoni,
11:00is prepared to sue Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively into oblivion.
11:03According to Friedman, Justin has so far held off on launching his direct legal action against the couple,
11:08but the mood is shifting rapidly.
11:10At this point, fans are buzzing about whether Justin's rumoured shutdown with the A-list pair
11:14is about to reach nuclear levels,
11:16especially given the suspicious nods to him in Deadpool and Wolverine.
11:19The speculation went wild after eagle-eyed viewers noticed that
11:22the Nice Pool character appears in the film.
11:24This alternate Deadpool sports a man bun,
11:26something that Justin famously wore for years
11:28and jokingly declared he's a feminist who admired Lady Pool.
11:32Deadpool quickly warns him,
11:33I don't think you're supposed to say that,
11:34but Nice Pool shrugs it off, saying,
11:36that's okay, I identify as a feminist.
11:38This echoes Justin's real-life persona.
11:40He's consistently described himself as a feminist,
11:43once giving a TED Talk titled,
11:45Why I'm Done Trying to Be Man Enough,
11:47and penning an article in Romper about fatherhood from a feminist perspective.
11:51The theories took further shape when it emerged that
11:54Deadpool and Wolverine wrapped up filming in June 2024,
11:57just five months after a tense all-hands meeting
11:59between Justin, Ryan, Blake, and the other producers.
12:02According to Blake's lawsuit,
12:03the gathering was to address some heavy allegations on Justin,
12:07for his part, has repeatedly refuted these accusations.
12:10He's even moved forward the $250 million defamation claim
12:13against the New York Times following an article
12:15that portrayed him as a key figure in Hollywood's smear machine.
12:18Justin Baldoni sues the New York Times for $250 million.
12:22Blake, who welcomed her fourth child with Ryan,
12:25just prior to filming It Ends With Us,
12:27has detailed multiple claims in her lawsuits.
12:29She alleges that Justin often critiqued her size
12:32and tried to slip more intimate scenes into the film,
12:34all without a designated intimacy coordinator.
12:37She also said he showed her weird images
12:39and continued smooching her after filming,
12:41long after cut was called.
12:42Meanwhile, Justin's side claimed
12:44Blake refused to meet with the intimacy coordinator,
12:46implying she's using the storyline to discredit him.
12:49The accusations have grown so intense,
12:51industry insiders say Justin and Blake's feud
12:53has overshadowed the movie's success,
12:55even though It Ends With Us performed well at the box office.
12:58Some of the drama apparently boiled over
13:00at a meeting in Ryan and Blake's apartment,
13:02where Ryan allegedly confronted Justin
13:04about talking bad about his wife, among other concerns.
13:07Justin said he had never been spoken to like that in his life,
13:10and Ryan's camp messaged back clarifying
13:12that while Ryan was indeed angry,
13:14he didn't raise his voice to a level
13:15that could be considered full-blown yelling,
13:17just merely stern.
13:19Fans of both sides are split.
13:21Was this a justified dressing down
13:23or an over-the-line meltdown?
13:25As if that weren't enough,
13:26Justin contends he was further humiliated
13:28by the Deadpool and Wolverine cameo.
13:30The supervillain Cassandra Nova
13:32is seen literally rifling through Deadpool's memories
13:34with Deadpool quipping,
13:36and wearing God's name as the intimacy coordinator.
13:38A pointed jab at the very issue
13:40Blake is suing Justin over.
13:42In Justin's version,
13:43the scene is yet another orchestrated move
13:45to poke fun at him, trivializing serious allegations.
13:48Adding to Justin's avalanche of headaches,
13:51a former publicist also sued him,
13:53while his talent agency,
13:55coincidentally the same agent repping Ryan and Blake,
13:58dropped him following the string of controversies.
14:00In her filings, Blake alleges
14:02Justin instigated a social campaign
14:04to mess with her standing in Hollywood.
14:06She claims he displayed sinister tactics
14:09towards anyone who challenged him.
14:11It Ends With Us hit theaters on August 9th, 2024
14:14and became a bona fide success.
14:16The film, adapted from Colleen Hoover's book,
14:19raked in $148 million domestically
14:21and $350 million worldwide
14:23according to the box office mojo.
14:25Many critics suggest that behind the scenes friction
14:27and the subsequent talks
14:29might have overshadowed the film's achievements.
14:31With Brian Friedman declaring
14:33that Justin plans to pursue massive repercussions
14:35against Ryan and Blake,
14:37the stage is set for even more high profile confrontation.
14:40Fans are asking if this could spell
14:42the end of the power couple's comedic jabs
14:44or if they'll double down,
14:45fueling the gossip cycle yet again.
14:47But for now, both sides stand firm.
14:49Blake and Ryan maintain that they did nothing wrong.
14:52Justin insists that he's innocent
14:54of all harassment claims
14:56and the Nice Pill cameo,
14:57along with other comedic bits,
14:58was a calculated attack on his character.
15:00Things are getting way worse
15:02for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
15:04Justin Baldoni just dropped his $400 million lawsuit
15:09against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
15:11This is so bad that even Disney is getting involved now.
15:15Justin's legal team has sent a letter
15:17to presidents of Disney and Marvel Studios.
15:20So it looks like nobody's in the clear
15:22that even Ryan Reynolds' MCU movie
15:24Deadpool and Wolverine was dragged in the suit.
15:27If you thought things were already crazy,
15:29it can really get more wild.
15:31While all these claims have been swirling,
15:33this one is probably the least expected.
15:36According to Baldoni's lawyer, Brian Friedman,
15:39he's claiming that Ryan took jabs at him
15:41with the character Nice Pool.
15:43Justin has made it very clear
15:45that he will not be working with Disney or Marvel
15:48since his lawyer demanded Disney preserve evidence
15:51in relationship to Deadpool and Wolverine.
15:53This movie was a big hit in 2024,
15:56but it's seeing a lot of backlash
15:58after these claims were made.
15:59So apparently in the Marvel movie,
16:01Friedman's claiming that this Nice Pool character
16:03is totally mocking Baldoni.
16:05Now I know this sounds pretty wild,
16:07but let me share some moments
16:08where these claims of Justin is being mocked
16:11might have happened.
16:12So first we have Justin's bun hairstyle
16:14that he was rocking back in 2024.
16:16There were too many similarities
16:18from Nice Pool calling himself a feminist
16:20to lines like,
16:21we're in God's name, intimacy coordinator.
16:23We're in God's name as the intimacy coordinator.
16:26And then hyping Blake Lively's Lady Pool
16:29for snapping back into shape after giving birth.
16:31Goodness, wait till you see Lady Pool.
16:33She is gorgeous.
16:34She just had a baby too.
16:36So these similarities were a little too similar
16:41for Justin's team to let slide.
16:43Like Justin's team is not letting this go, guys.
16:46They are demanding that Disney provide
16:48all relevant documents behind this movie,
16:50Deadpool and Wolverine.
16:51That's relevant to this case.
16:53Friedman is gonna get all the evidence
16:55he needs to get to the bottom of this,
16:56whether this film has intentionally included
16:59references to Baldoni.
17:00Now let's take a step back
17:01and go over how this all happened, right?
17:03This feud all started in December 2024
17:06when Blake filed a complaint
17:07blaming Justin of invading her privacy.
17:09Body shaming her postpartum
17:11and ruining her reputation.
17:13Justin denied the claims,
17:14announced plans to sue
17:15and even released their private texts.
17:17From there, it completely snowballed.
17:19Justin was dropped by his talent agency,
17:21sued by his ex-publicist Stephanie
17:23and lost an award from Vital Voices.
17:25Meanwhile, Blake accused Justin
17:28and his team of retaliation
17:29with leaked texts revealing claims
17:31that there was plans to smear her reputation.
17:34Fast forward to January 2025,
17:36both sides are lawyering up,
17:38ready to keep going till they win.
17:40Fans of celebs are picking sides
17:42with some backing Blake,
17:43others defending justice.
17:45It's getting really crazy
17:47and the millions are just going up
17:49and up and up.
17:50Even during It Ends With Us press tour,
17:52the tension was obvious.
17:54Blake's supporters argue
17:55she was unfairly targeted
17:57by Justin's alleged smear campaign
17:59while Justin's camp
18:01insists he's been falsely pursued.
18:03Now while it began with the two stars,
18:05Blake's hubby was clearly
18:06not going to sit back and watch.
18:07The drama has gone beyond
18:08the original claims
18:09and Ryan is right in the middle
18:11of all the drama.
18:12While we have yet to know
18:14if this Nice Pool character
18:15is actually poking fun at Baldoni,
18:18the public is already deciding
18:19that it is and they are not happy
18:21with Ryan Reynolds at all
18:23and think he's taking it way too far
18:26to defend his wife
18:28or whatever this might have been
18:30if it is true.
18:31His Instagram comments are going crazy.
18:33One user commented,
18:35I've been at Ryan's stand for years.
18:37So sad about the latest news.
18:38Didn't catch the mean mockery
18:39he did about Justin
18:40during the Deadpool movie until now.
18:43Maybe what we all thought
18:44Ryan was funny
18:45and turns out he's just like Blake.
18:47Wow.
18:48So I guess Blake was just
18:49never in the clear there
18:50because that was just
18:51obviously saying
18:53he's just like her basically
18:56and it seems like
18:58they're not buying this fake narrative
19:01and they think that
19:02this is indeed the truth
19:04that his character in this movie
19:07was mocking him.
19:08Another person commented,
19:09Shame on you and Blake.
19:10You owe Justin Baldoni
19:11a public apology.
19:13So his comment section
19:14isn't looking too good.
19:16No one's on Ryan's side right now.
19:18It's led him to restrict his comments.
19:20Something Justin apparently hasn't done.
19:22So that's another thing
19:24that's kind of got us questioning
19:25who's right and wrong.
19:26Like clearly if you have to
19:28restrict your comments
19:29that doesn't look too good, you know?
19:30So it looks like Ryan
19:31could have a lot of explaining to do.
19:32The worst part is
19:33that it's also affecting
19:34this fan favorite movie,
19:35Deadpool and Wolverine.
19:37And it was huge.
19:38Like it was huge,
19:39highly anticipated.
19:40And now I guess people
19:41are rewatching it
19:42to see if these little
19:43mockeries are actually true.
19:45With so much drama
19:47like surrounding this film
19:48it could ultimately ruin it.
19:49But who knows, right?
19:50Like let's maybe
19:51leave the movie out of it.
19:52But with that being said,
19:54if they allowed him to,
19:55you know, do this in the movie
19:57then that could go a lot more crazy.
20:00This situation just keeps
20:01getting crazy though, right?
20:02With more drama getting added.
20:03With these new suits
20:05that just came out.
20:06400 million dollars.
20:07Oh my god.
20:08It's just getting really crazy.
20:10Blake Lively is demanding
20:12a lot of money
20:13from Justin Baldoni.
20:14And guys,
20:15it's in the millions.
20:17I'm not talking about
20:18some penny change here.
20:19Blake is coming for
20:20all of Justin's funds
20:22and won't back down
20:23until she's paid out.
20:24You know how much
20:25she's looking for?
20:26Brace yourself.
20:2710 million dollars.
20:29Yeah,
20:30she's ready to see
20:31Justin in court
20:32and leave with
20:33all 10 million of it.
20:34So let's backtrack a bit here.
20:35If you didn't know,
20:36the two were stars
20:37in the film
20:38It Ends With Us.
20:39And let's just say
20:40the behind the scenes
20:41is wild.
20:42Now in the past couple weeks,
20:43Blake's image has been
20:44falling down.
20:45With past interviews
20:46coming up
20:47and everyone referring
20:48to her as the mean girl.
20:49But here's the crazy part.
20:50She believes
20:51Justin set up
20:52a smear campaign
20:53to ruin her reputation
20:54and it was kind of working
20:55if that is true.
20:57Now,
20:58last year,
20:59Blake hit Justin with claims
21:00from how he was acting on set
21:02to creating a work environment
21:04that wasn't ideal.
21:05Which apparently continued
21:06even after she confronted him.
21:08So she's suing him
21:10and he followed up
21:11with a countersuit.
21:12But this will not be
21:13a cheap moment for the two.
21:14They need strong teams
21:15from the claims side
21:16to their image.
21:17I mean,
21:18the wrong move
21:19can really have their reputation
21:21pretty much have no comeback.
21:23Now,
21:24Cameron DeLazio,
21:25partner at MSD Lawyers,
21:27shared with The Sun,
21:28it's absolutely reputation related.
21:31She has,
21:32between her and her husband,
21:33all the money in the world.
21:34I mean,
21:35think about it this way.
21:36Up until this movie,
21:37Blake and Ryan
21:38have kept a great reputation
21:39in front of the public's eye.
21:41All of a sudden,
21:42Blake's name is being dragged
21:43and we can't just assume
21:45it's a coincidence, right?
21:47Cameron continued sharing,
21:48I don't think it's a money issue.
21:49I think that this was her
21:51needing to change to the narrative
21:52and already has.
21:53He continued,
21:54already it's had positive effects
21:56for her reputation
21:57and I expect that
21:58it will continue for her.
21:59Now sure,
22:00this could be the case,
22:01but
22:02there's a lot more to it.
22:04I mean,
22:05right now it looks like
22:06an up fill moment for Blake
22:07and Justin might need to do
22:08some damage control
22:09and it's going to be
22:10an expensive suit
22:11and could cost one of these
22:12stars images
22:13and if you believe
22:14that they'll be spending
22:15a lot of money
22:16to protect their reputation,
22:17then you're right.
22:18I mean,
22:19Cameron also shared that
22:20this is just the start.
22:21We haven't even gone through
22:22the discovery process.
22:23I'm sure there's more
22:24text messages to be had.
22:25So I guess we can see more teeth
22:27that's going to be spilled.
22:28And recently,
22:30Justin Boldoni
22:31is suing Blake Lively
22:33for $400 million.
22:34Yeah,
22:35so
22:36it seems like he was ready
22:37to clap back
22:38and he also has
22:39filed a $250 million suit
22:41against the New York Times
22:42claiming they created
22:43a whole smear campaign
22:44against them
22:45with the help of Blake.
22:46So it looks like,
22:47you know,
22:48he's not backing down
22:49anytime soon
22:50and is ready to,
22:51you know,
22:52take hold of his name
22:53and his reputation
22:54and not let this big star
22:55or her husband
22:56or anyone,
22:57for that matter,
22:58bring his name to the ground.
23:00Those two stars
23:01are really just ready
23:02to spend millions of dollars
23:03to receive a payout
23:04and protect their reputation.
23:05I mean,
23:06think about it.
23:07Like,
23:08Justin's net worth
23:09is about $4 million.
23:10Blake's fortune is a lot higher
23:11at $30 million
23:12and her hubby,
23:13Ryan Reynolds,
23:14estimated at about $350.
23:15So,
23:16I guess it's a bit difficult
23:17for Justin
23:18considering he's making
23:19a lot less.
23:20But,
23:21I don't know.
23:22I mean,
23:23I don't see
23:24justice is served
23:25regardless of that fact.
23:26Now,
23:27what are fans saying
23:28about all this?
23:29Instagram users are actually
23:30coming for Blake.
23:31One user commented,
23:32girl,
23:33you're giving Amber
23:34herd vibes
23:35and we all know
23:36that suit ended
23:37very bad
23:38so that was
23:39quite the diss.
23:40Other people are still
23:41defending her.
23:42One person said,
23:43I support you,
23:44Blake,
23:45and speaking up
23:46will protect other women
23:47in the future.
23:48Doing the right thing
23:49isn't always the easiest
23:50thing to do.
23:51Don't let the haters
23:52tell you the good
23:53and the bad.
23:54Justin's Instagram
23:55also had a lot to say.
23:56One person said,
23:57we stand with you,
23:58Justin.
23:59Your only misstep
24:00was hiring Blake Lively
24:01for this film.
24:02And another person said,
24:03you seem like a bad guy,
24:04team Blake.
