On the same day, Baldoni filed a lawsuit against The New York Times for his comment on an earlier complaint filed by Lively with the California Department of Civil Rights, charging publication of libel and false light invasion of privacy, among other things.

Reynolds, for his part, has been drawn into the costars’ legal battle. In the legal case of Baldoni against the New York Timesaccused Reynolds and Lively of an “inappropriate and petty provocation” in an allegedly hostile meeting in their New York City apartment before filming It Ends With Us and that they reprimanded him for “fat-shaming” Lively. Baldoni said the conflict “was carried out, perhaps intentionally, as other famous friends were coming in and out of their penthouse.”
Baldoni claimed that too Reynolds pressured Baldoni’s agent to drop him as a client in the New York City premiere of Deadpool and Wolverine last year in an attempt to “destroy Baldoni’s career and personal life.” (It was Baldoni let go as a client from WME last month.)
On January 1, WME said The Hollywood Reporter“In Baldoni’s filing, there is an allegation that Reynolds pressured Baldoni’s agent in the Deadpool and Wolverine premiere. This is not true. Baldoni’s former representative was not in the Deadpool and Wolverine premiere and at no time was there any pressure from Reynolds or Lively to drop Baldoni as a client.”
