Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have decided to skip the Golden Globes this year, despite Reynolds earning a nomination for his blockbuster hit Deadpool & Wolverine .
While many speculated their absence might be tied to Lively’s ongoing legal drama with her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, insiders insist that this was not the reason for the decision.
Let’s break down what’s happening in this tangled web of award show glamour, legal fireworks, and personal tensions.
Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine , a Marvel Studios smash hit that raked in $1.33 billion worldwide, earned a nomination in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category.
However, the beloved actor will not be walking the red carpet to celebrate the film’s success.
Adding to the curiosity, Reynolds’ co-star Hugh Jackman has also opted to skip the prestigious event, leaving fans wondering what’s going on behind the scenes.
According to Page Six , Reynolds and Lively’s decision to skip the Globes was made long before the drama with Baldoni unfolded.
The couple hasn’t disclosed why they’re sitting this one out, leaving plenty of room for speculation.
The elephant in the room is Blake Lively’s very public legal battle with Justin Baldoni .
The drama stems from allegations Lively made just two weeks ago, claiming that Baldoni sexually harassed her and caused significant emotional distress during the production of It Ends With Us .
Lively, who played the lead in the highly anticipated adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, alleged that Baldoni often made inappropriate remarks about sex.
She also claimed that he referenced his struggles with a “porn addiction.” Additionally, Lively said he showed explicit images during meetings.
According to Lively, these incidents became so uncomfortable that an “ all-hands” meeting was called to address Baldoni’s behavior, during which Reynolds was also reportedly present.
The lawsuit further claims that Baldoni hired a crisis manager to orchestrate a smear campaign against Lively in an attempt to tarnish her reputation.
Bombshell text messages submitted as evidence include one from Baldoni’s crisis rep allegedly saying, “You know we can bury anyone.”
For his part, Justin Baldoni has strongly denied the allegations. His attorney, Bryan Freedman, labeled the claims “intentionally salacious”and accused Lively of trying to salvage her reputation through the courts.
According to Freedman, Lively’s actions during the It Ends With Us press tour were the real source of public criticism, and the lawsuit is simply a distraction.
Baldoni isn’t just fighting back in the courtroom; he’s filed a staggering $250 million libel lawsuit against The New York Times , accusing the outlet of publishing false information about him.
The lawsuit also recounts an alleged incident where Reynolds confronted Baldoni on set over comments about Lively’s weight.
Baldoni claimed he was inquiring about her weight in the context of a physically demanding scene, but the confrontation reportedly grew so heated that he apologized multiple times.
Ryan Reynolds has remained mostly silent amidst the ongoing legal drama, but his actions have spoken volumes about where his loyalties lie.
In what many fans saw as a quiet but clear statement of solidarity, Reynolds reportedly blocked Justin Baldoni on social media, a move that didn’t escape notice.
Though subtle, this action has been widely interpreted as a sign that Reynolds is firmly standing by his wife, showing his unspoken but strong support.
While he has avoided discussing the situation publicly, Reynolds is no stranger to fiercely protecting his family.
Sources close to the couple have shared that, behind the scenes, he has been a steadfast pillar of support for Lively as she faces the legal battle.
This quiet strength and loyalty highlight his commitment not only to his wife but also to keeping their family shielded from further turmoil.
Despite not engaging in the media circus, Reynolds continues to be the rock Lively needs during this difficult time.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have been happily married since 2012 and are parents to four children.
Known for their strong commitment to their family, the couple consistently places their loved ones and home life above the typical Hollywood spotlight.
Their decision to skip the Golden Globes this year may be a reflection of their desire to keep the focus on their family, especially during such a challenging period for them.
Lively’s latest film, It Ends With Us , was not nominated for any awards this season, and she wasn’t scheduled to present at the Globes.
Given the current media frenzy surrounding their personal lives, opting to skip the glamorous event seems like a strategic move to remain out of the public eye.
In the face of ongoing legal battles and intense media attention, it seems they’re choosing to prioritize their privacy and protect their family from unnecessary drama.
With lawsuits flying in every direction, the legal battle between Lively and Baldoni is far from over.
Baldoni’s team has promised to countersue for defamation, while Lively’s camp is preparing to press forward with claims of emotional distress.
All eyes are now on what’s ahead, both in the courtroom and within Hollywood.
How will this impact the careers and reputations of everyone involved? Will Reynolds eventually address the situation publicly?
For now, the power couple seems content staying behind the scenes.
As for the Golden Globes, while Reynolds may have skipped the party, his presence—and absence—will undoubtedly be felt.
