Ryan Reynolds has been spared from his wife Blake Lively’s ongoing legal drama with It Ends with us director and co-star Justin Baldoni.
A comprehensive list of all celebrities ousted in connection with the case was shared by People magazine on October 17. According to the outlet, several stars associated with the Netflix hit have already been dropped — but the Deadpool star is not one of them.
Despite the widespread speculation and their early involvement in the scandal, sources confirm that neither Reynolds nor Taylor Swift, a close friend of Lively, have been interviewed as part of the case.
Others, however, were not so lucky. Author Colleen Hoover, whose bestselling novel inspired the film adaptation, recently sat for her deposition. Costars Jenny Slate and Isabela Ferrer were also interviewed this summer, along with Lively herself and members of her professional circle, including publicist Leslie Sloane, agent Warren Zavala and makeup artist Vivian Baker.
Baldoni and several of his team members – including producer Jamey Heath, publicist Jennifer Abel, crisis manager Melissa Nathan and billionaire Steve Sarowitz – have also been ousted. His former agent, Danny Greenberg, drew attention for describing “extortion-like behavior” by Lively during filming, although he later clarified that the term was not intended in a criminal sense.
The case stems from a December 2024 complaint from Lively, who accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation during production — allegations he denies. Baldoni later sued Lively and Reynolds for defamation and racketeering, but a judge dismissed the claims in June.
Discovery closed on October 10, the next hearing was scheduled for December 16, and a trial was expected in March 2026.
