Breaking News: Justin Baldoni claims Ryan Reynolds ‘berated’ him for ‘fat-shaming’ Blake Lively in new lawsuit…see more
Justin Baldoni detailed an alleged “aggressive” confrontation he had with Ryan Reynolds about Blake Lively last year — in his new lawsuit against the New York Times.
Baldoni, 40, claimed that Reynolds, 48, “berated” him during a heated meeting at the couple’s Tribeca penthouse in New York, in which he accused the director of “fat shaming” his wife.
The “Jane the Virgin” star allegedly asked how much Lively, 37, weighed before he was supposed to lift her in a scene. Baldoni claimed he had back issues and wanted “to ensure he could safely perform the lift without injury.”
“The confrontation that followed was so aggressive that Baldoni felt compelled to offer repeated apologies,” the lawsuit read.
“Baldoni, in an effort to avoid further confrontation with Lively and Reynolds and rebuild rapport with his co-star, continued to bend to her will,” the legal filing added.
A WME rep denied the accusations that Reynolds or Lively pressured the company to drop Baldoni as a client.
