Justin Baldoni's Lawyer Speaks to That Ryan Reynolds' 'Nicepool' Rumor
Justin Baldoni‘s lawyer is responding to the Internet rumor involving Blake Lively‘s husband, Ryan Reynolds.
His attorney Bryan Freeman went on Megyn Kelly‘s show to discuss the legal drama between Justin and Blake regarding the work on their film, It Ends with Us.
In Deadpool & Wolverine – which Ryan, 47, co-wrote and co-produced and which was filmed around the same time as It Ends With Us – Deadpool and Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine encounter a Deadpool “variant” named Nicepool.
Nicepool (who was also played by Ryan) sports a man bun, a hairstyle Justin noticeably also sported for years.

The character makes a comment about Ladypool (played by Blake, 37), saying, “Oh my goodness, wait til you’ve seen Ladypool. She is gorgeous. She just had a baby too and [you] can’t even tell.”
After Nicepool makes the comment about Ladypool’s body, Deadpool tells him, “I don’t think you’re supposed to say that.”
In response, Nicepool, with one hand on his chest, says, “That’s OK. I identify as a feminist.”
Many believe Ryan was mocking Justin in this moment, though nothing has been confirmed by him.
Bryan was asked his thoughts. He said there’s “no question it relates to Justin,” anothing the “hair bun” and “the comment about the pregnancy,” saying it’s “pretty obvious what’s being done.”
“What I make of that is that if your wife is sexually harassed, you don’t make fun of Justin Baldoni. You don’t make fun of the situation. You take it very seriously, you file HR complaints, you raise the issue and you follow a legal process. What you don’t do is mock the person and turn it into a joke.”
“But again, if somebody is seriously sexually harassed, you don’t make fun of it. It’s a serious issue,” Bryan added.
