Transcript

00:00Ryan Reynolds has gone to court to ask the judge in the lawsuit

00:05Fishing he's waving a waving the white flag. What are those flags? No, that's not it's the exact opposite

00:10He is telling it. He is telling a judge look

00:13I should not be sued for any thing I did in connection with the Blake Lively

00:20Justin Baldoni war he is saying that there is no valid legal claim and is asking the judge to

00:28Dismiss him from the lawsuit that Justin filed partly against him, right?

00:33And he's saying look all I was doing was publicly defending my wife

00:38That doesn't rise to the point of suing me

00:41That's why I was saying is waving the white flag

00:43But it in a way he wants out of the legal war that is going on between Justin and Blake

00:49Well, here's how they agree that that both sides agree now that Ryan was defending his wife

00:56The issue is did that defense ever cross the line, right?

00:59That's all Ryan says very firmly in his request for this dismissal that he did not cross any legal lines

01:07In the documents, he says Baldoni's thin-skinned outrage over a movie character

01:13The satirical woke nice pool does not even pretend to be tied to any actual legal claims while mr

01:20Baldoni may not appreciate being called a predator those hurt feelings do not give rise to legal claims because name-calling

01:28Does not reflect a fact but a non verifiable view so there are two points here

01:34One is the movie where Ryan did mark Deadpool and Wolverine where Ryan did mock?

01:41Baldoni in a very oblique way and everybody said oh, is it about him? Well, he's admitting it's about him now

01:47Now there's a second part to it and I think a more serious part to it because that's just parody

01:52I mean, I don't see where that goes

01:53When he calls him a predator and all the other things that are alleged in the lawsuit against Ryan Reynolds

02:01That's a whole other Oprah. That is a whole other Oprah where the well the predator he's saying that

02:08Justin doesn't like the fact that the nice pool

02:11Character was presented as sort of a predator, but but right using that so Ryan using that term you Ryan using that term is

02:20I think part of this lawsuit, but it goes way beyond way beyond

02:25That parody it goes to what?

02:28Baldoni is alleging which is Ryan Reynolds helped engineer

02:33What's my name is a smear campaign against just ride on destroy his career by you know

02:38Leaning on his agents because they they were at the same talent agency and and

02:43Justin was dropped by his agents and he feels it's because Blake

02:48That Ryan a big foot a big foot at him, right?

02:51I'm the bigger star you get is it gonna be me or Baldoni and they and they chose I'll don't chose Ryan Reynolds

02:57Which you would kind of assume they would right? So

03:00Justin Baldoni's lawyer Brian Friedman

03:03I had a thing or two to say about this motion to dismiss on Ryan Reynolds, right? He said after lighting a match

03:11Mr. Reynolds now seeks to run from the flames. It won't work the Wayfarer parties claims against him are real and they are

03:19Serious, mr. Reynolds can appear on as many sketch shows as he wants and feebly try to make light of his current situation

03:26But we will not stop until he is held accountable for his actions. So I think they're opposing it. Yeah

03:33Yeah, and if you're Blake in this situation, I mean, are you upset?

03:37I mean, I know it's more about her and Justin, but if your husband's asking to be withdrawn from it

03:43What's going through her mind right? I don't think he's not saying he's not defending her anymore. He's saying look I'm not

03:50Legally speaking I have not and also I'm not sure this is more about Blake Lively than then Ryan Reynolds anymore

03:58I think that that the whole thing is more about Ryan and not about Blake. Did Blake get him fired from William Morris?

04:05I mean, I I just think I look I'm not citing one way or the other

04:10I'm saying that I think Justin thinks the beef started with Blake. It was about well, of course it started with Blake, right?

04:15But then the question is how did Ryan jump in and did Ryan engineer because remember at least according to Justin

04:23Ryan was hot as hell as Raquel would say

04:27when

04:28When they had that meeting at the penthouse by the way, it's hot as fish grease. I was trying to think of what it was

04:34I'm sorry about that

04:35but but that you know when when when Ryan Reynolds stepped in and was angry at him for

04:41Over a script and everything else right and then the Taylor Swift thing came up and everything out

04:46I I think Ryan Reynolds is

04:48Playing a bigger part at least as far as Justin Baldoni is concerned than you think I really do. Well, so

04:55what

04:56Clearly, he doesn't want Ryan to get out of this to be let out of this law

05:01He's not gonna let him out of the lawsuit. I mean this you don't think a judge

05:03No, I know why because look there are what judges do is they look at questions of law?

05:07Is there a question of law here where he just where Ryan should not be in the lawsuit?

05:13This is a question of fact where you have to look at the things he did and then make a judgment

05:19Questions of fact are for the jury to decide questions of law are for the judge to decide

05:25This is clearly a question of fact and they always file these motions to dismiss. It's not gonna be granted

05:33Virginia from California and I used to be a huge Ryan Reynolds fan

05:36I loved his movies, but after everything unfolded with his wife and now trying to dismiss the case

05:42It seems like the situation got out of hand. He can't control it. And now he wants to dismiss it

05:47No, you made your bed you lying it. Well, it ain't gonna get dismissed
