A recent legal battle in Hollywood has revealed a tense confrontation between actors Ryan Reynolds and Justin Baldoni. Court documents show that on April 25, 2023, Baldoni visited Blake Lively and Reynolds’ New York apartment to discuss concerns about the film It Ends With Us. During this meeting, Reynolds became upset after learning that Baldoni had asked Lively’s trainer about her weight. The exchange reportedly left Baldoni embarrassed and emotional, while Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman were present in the room.

According to the filings, Reynolds strongly criticized Baldoni, asking, “How dare you ask about my wife’s weight? What’s wrong with you?” Baldoni apologized multiple times and even shed tears during the confrontation. He later explained that he asked about Lively’s weight only to prepare for a lift scene in the movie, aiming to avoid injury. Lively’s team, however, rejected this explanation. The meeting was described by Baldoni as one of the hardest nights of his life.

Taylor Swift’s involvement in the situation has drawn attention, even though she had no role in the film. Swift, a longtime friend of Lively, was present during the meeting but did not take part in any creative decisions. Court documents and media reports show that her proximity to Lively has caused strain, and Swift reportedly felt used by the situation. Her representative confirmed that she never set foot on the film set.
This confrontation is part of a larger legal dispute. In December 2024, Lively sued Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios for harassment, retaliation, and creating a hostile work environment. Baldoni’s countersuit, which has been dismissed, claimed that Lively “weaponized” her friendship with Swift against him. The case has attracted attention because it involves several Hollywood stars, including Swift, Jackman, Emily Blunt, Gigi Hadid, and Jenny Slate.
