Ryan Reynolds Drags Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Into Justin Baldoni–Blake Lively Drama

by

A surprising connection to Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s ongoing issues has emerged, involving Johnny Depp. This came to light through recently revealed text messages sent by Ryan Reynolds. Legal documents obtained by TMZ show a conversation between Reynolds and his agent, Warren Zavala, where they discussed Lively and Baldoni’s public relations approaches, and Reynolds mentioned Depp in passing.

An August 2024 exchange reveals the close-knit group was very worried about how the public was starting to view the movie It Ends With Us. Zavala expressed concern about Baldoni, suggesting his large ego led him to try and control the story online, possibly to protect himself if the real truth came out.

Ryan responded, agreeing but adding that he thought the truth about the situation would eventually come out and cause problems for the other person. He seemed to think whatever plan Baldoni had wouldn’t be able to stay hidden for long.

Okay, so Zavala’s basically saying things aren’t as clear-cut as they seem. He’s worried this guy might be setting them up, and really wants to see this con artist exposed. His main concern? Protecting the film – its success is everything to him. He’s hoping all this drama just blows over soon, and we’ll see if it does.

Ryan’s agent sent him an article about a disagreement between Baldoni and Lively regarding the final version of the movie It Ends With Us, and then wrote, “This is just a PR tactic. I think we should ignore it and let the situation die down.” This indicates the team was considering how to respond to the spreading rumors, debating between addressing them or remaining quiet.

Ryan quickly responds, bringing up the highly publicized legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. He’s referring to the defamation lawsuit Johnny Depp filed against Amber Heard, which resulted in a widely-watched trial and became a huge trend on TikTok.

Zavala replies, “Not well. They both ended up with ruined reputations.” This highlights his worry that the conflict between Lively and Baldoni, if not resolved carefully, could have destroyed both of their public images.

Ryan’s representative unleashed a scathing attack on Baldoni, calling him a self-centered and contemptible person who thought too highly of himself. Ryan himself dismissed Baldoni as insignificant. These harsh words demonstrate how deeply personal and intense the conflict between them had become privately.

The public feud between Blake and Justin has become as dramatic – and possibly even more so – than the highly publicized conflict between Johnny and Amber. It began with disagreements about a book-to-screen project, but has quickly escalated into a serious legal battle that’s damaging both of their reputations.

It’s worth noting Johnny Depp’s situation. Although his career suffered at first, it appears to be recovering, with several big films already released or planned. He recently appeared in the French historical drama Jeanne du Barry and is set to star in the upcoming thriller Day Drinker with Penélope Cruz.

It’s amazing to see Johnny Depp thriving again! He’s already had an international art show and was welcomed back at film festivals like San Sebastian and Cannes. Honestly, I think Ryan and Blake are probably hoping he can keep this momentum going, especially if things don’t work out for them in court. It feels like a bit of a turning of the tables, and they might be counting on his comeback to soften the blow if they lose.

Released in 2024, It Ends With Us is a romantic drama adapted from the popular novel by Colleen Hoover. The story centers on a woman navigating a difficult relationship that includes domestic abuse. Blake Lively stars as Lily Bloom, with Justin Baldoni as Ryle Kincaid, and Brandon Sklenar as Atlas Corrigan, a figure from her past.
