In the midst of the ongoing dispute involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, Ryan Reynolds has come under fire for his involvement. Shortly after the August 10, 2024 premiere of the film It Ends With Us, Reynolds reportedly sent a detailed email to the film’s author, Colleen Hoover, praising the movie while making pointed remarks about Baldoni. This message has been labeled by many as a clear example of a Ryan Reynolds manipulative email.
Details of the Email and Criticism
According to court documents obtained by Star, Reynolds, 49, expressed admiration for Hoover’s creativity, writing:
“When you’re a creator and apex storyteller like you, I can imagine it takes a very resolute mind and heart to process all the strange people with muddled intentions trying to warm their hands on your light,”
Ryan Reynolds reportedly said. He followed this by adding,
“Seeing good people put sty people over their knee, for a good old-fashioned pants-down spanking in the supermarket is a special experience I don’t take for granted.”
Reynolds also named Baldoni directly in his email:
“I heard you guys got a tummy bug and you’re stuck in NY. I can’t think of anything worse. Although it might be your body ridding itself of any residual Baldoni.”
The letter closed on a supportive note:
“I’m just incredibly proud and inspired by you and [Blake],”
he concluded.
Public Reaction to Reynolds’ Email
Once the email circulated widely on social media, reactions were swift and predominantly critical. Many described Reynolds’s words as manipulative and unsettling. One commenter on X wrote, “He is so gross.” Another asked,
“Why is he involved at all? Ew,”
reflecting frustration over his engagement in the matter.
Users pointed out an obsessive tone in Reynolds’s correspondence, with statements like,
“The way they speak is so manipulative. And every single correspondence they can’t stop talking about Justin. They are obsessed,”
and others openly called Reynolds “phony.”
Context of the Controversy and What’s Next
The email release coincided with the emergence of alleged texts between Lively and Taylor Swift, which some interpret as coordinated against Justin Baldoni, further intensifying the dispute. This public confrontation highlights ongoing tensions and raises questions about the personal dynamics influencing the film’s promotion and related conflicts. How Reynolds’s comments and this controversy will impact the parties involved remains to be seen as the situation continues to develop.
