Ryan Reynolds is spilling some serious tea in newly revealed texts, drawing parallels between the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni feud and the infamous Johnny Depp-Amber Heard saga. The messages, from August 2024, show Reynolds and his agent dissecting the 'It Ends With Us' PR mess. Oh, and the shade? It's next level.
Darlings, grab your popcorn because Ryan Reynolds just turned up the heat on the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama with some scorching texts that have everyone's jaws on the floor. Obtained by TMZ and dated August 2024, the exchange between Reynolds and his talent agent Warren Zavala is pure gold—or should I say, pure mess? They're deep in strategy mode over Lively and Baldoni's clashing PR tactics for 'It Ends With Us,' and Zavala doesn't hold back: "It's this guys incredible ego. It feels like he's laying a trap if her truth surfaces, while promoting a narrative digitally."
Reynolds fires back, "Yeah. But honestly, someone is just gonna tell a journalist the real deal and it's gonna blow up in his face." Zavala worries the truth might get muddled, calling Baldoni a "fraud s*** weasel" and hoping he's exposed, all while stressing the movie's success is key. He even shares a link about their fight over the final cut, labeling it "all spin" and suggesting they "let it burn."
Enter the bombshell: Reynolds quips, "How'd that work out for Depp?"—straight-up referencing the Depp-Heard trial that "cratered both of them ultimately," per Zavala. The agent piles on, dubbing Baldoni an "egotistical s*** weasel with a god complex," while Reynolds dismisses him as a "human rounding error." 🔥
Interestingly, while Depp's career nosedived back then, he's bouncing back strong with major studio gigs, an international art exhibit, and red-carpet struts at San Sebastian and Cannes. So, is Reynolds warning Baldoni not to play the victim card like Depp did? The tea is piping hot, and Hollywood's watching. Will this feud tank 'It Ends With Us' or just make it more iconic? Spill your thoughts, readers—messy or masterful?
