Ryan Reynolds Praises Blake Lively as Narrowed Baldoni Case Heads to May Trial

His comments spotlight a narrowed case now set for a May 18 trial.

Overview

  • Reynolds, who spoke Sunday on Today's Sunday Sitdown, said he has never been more proud of Lively and that people do not know what is really going on.
  • The case is slated for a May 18 trial in New York after an April 2 ruling dismissed 10 of Lively’s 13 claims, including sexual harassment, leaving breach of contract and two retaliation claims.
  • Pretrial filings indicate both Lively and Reynolds are expected to testify, addressing alleged conduct tied to the film’s production, post‑production, and marketing.
  • Baldoni denies the allegations, and his $400 million countersuit against Lively and Reynolds was dismissed in June 2025.
  • Lively seeks more than $160 million in damages in the suit she filed in December 2024 alleging a retaliatory smear campaign connected to It Ends With Us.
