Just days after Ryan Reynolds’ private messages, containing scathing language about Justin Baldoni, exploded into a full-blown public spectacle, the actor has addressed the controversy and defended his remarks.
The 49-year-old star allegedly referred to Justin as a “thoroughbred, predatory fraudster” and an “inexplicably toxic mess” in the text exchange, which dates back to July 2024.
The messages were unsealed last week, on January 20, in newly released court documents as part of the discovery process in Reynolds’ wife, Blake Lively’s, ongoing lawsuit against her It Ends With Us director and co-star Baldoni.
