00:00
Ryan Reynolds has gone to court to ask the judge in the lawsuit
00:05
Fishing he's waving a waving the white flag. What are those flags? No, that's not it's the exact opposite
00:10
He is telling it. He is telling a judge look
00:13
I should not be sued for any thing I did in connection with the Blake Lively
00:20
Justin Baldoni war he is saying that there is no valid legal claim and is asking the judge to
00:28
Dismiss him from the lawsuit that Justin filed partly against him, right?
00:33
And he's saying look all I was doing was publicly defending my wife
00:38
That doesn't rise to the point of suing me
00:41
That's why I was saying is waving the white flag
00:43
But it in a way he wants out of the legal war that is going on between Justin and Blake
00:49
Well, here's how they agree that that both sides agree now that Ryan was defending his wife
00:56
The issue is did that defense ever cross the line, right?
00:59
That's all Ryan says very firmly in his request for this dismissal that he did not cross any legal lines
01:07
In the documents, he says Baldoni's thin-skinned outrage over a movie character
01:13
The satirical woke nice pool does not even pretend to be tied to any actual legal claims while mr
01:20
Baldoni may not appreciate being called a predator those hurt feelings do not give rise to legal claims because name-calling
01:28
Does not reflect a fact but a non verifiable view so there are two points here
01:34
One is the movie where Ryan did mark Deadpool and Wolverine where Ryan did mock?
01:41
Baldoni in a very oblique way and everybody said oh, is it about him? Well, he's admitting it's about him now
01:47
Now there's a second part to it and I think a more serious part to it because that's just parody
01:52
I mean, I don't see where that goes
01:53
When he calls him a predator and all the other things that are alleged in the lawsuit against Ryan Reynolds
02:01
That's a whole other Oprah. That is a whole other Oprah where the well the predator he's saying that
02:08
Justin doesn't like the fact that the nice pool
02:11
Character was presented as sort of a predator, but but right using that so Ryan using that term you Ryan using that term is
02:20
I think part of this lawsuit, but it goes way beyond way beyond
02:25
That parody it goes to what?
02:28
Baldoni is alleging which is Ryan Reynolds helped engineer
02:33
What's my name is a smear campaign against just ride on destroy his career by you know
02:38
Leaning on his agents because they they were at the same talent agency and and
02:43
Justin was dropped by his agents and he feels it's because Blake
02:48
That Ryan a big foot a big foot at him, right?
02:51
I'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
02:57
Which you would kind of assume they would right? So
03:00
Justin Baldoni's lawyer Brian Friedman
03:03
I had a thing or two to say about this motion to dismiss on Ryan Reynolds, right? He said after lighting a match
03:11
Mr. Reynolds now seeks to run from the flames. It won't work the Wayfarer parties claims against him are real and they are
03:19
Serious, mr. Reynolds can appear on as many sketch shows as he wants and feebly try to make light of his current situation
03:26
But we will not stop until he is held accountable for his actions. So I think they're opposing it. Yeah
03:33
Yeah, and if you're Blake in this situation, I mean, are you upset?
03:37
I mean, I know it's more about her and Justin, but if your husband's asking to be withdrawn from it
03:43
What'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
03:50
Legally speaking I have not and also I'm not sure this is more about Blake Lively than then Ryan Reynolds anymore
03:58
I think that that the whole thing is more about Ryan and not about Blake. Did Blake get him fired from William Morris?
04:05
I mean, I I just think I look I'm not citing one way or the other
04:10
I'm saying that I think Justin thinks the beef started with Blake. It was about well, of course it started with Blake, right?
04:15
But then the question is how did Ryan jump in and did Ryan engineer because remember at least according to Justin
04:23
Ryan was hot as hell as Raquel would say
04:27
when
04:28
When 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
04:34
I'm sorry about that
04:35
but but that you know when when when Ryan Reynolds stepped in and was angry at him for
04:41
Over a script and everything else right and then the Taylor Swift thing came up and everything out
04:46
I I think Ryan Reynolds is
04:48
Playing a bigger part at least as far as Justin Baldoni is concerned than you think I really do. Well, so
04:55
what
04:56
Clearly, he doesn't want Ryan to get out of this to be let out of this law
05:01
He's not gonna let him out of the lawsuit. I mean this you don't think a judge
05:03
No, I know why because look there are what judges do is they look at questions of law?
05:07
Is there a question of law here where he just where Ryan should not be in the lawsuit?
05:13
This is a question of fact where you have to look at the things he did and then make a judgment
05:19
Questions of fact are for the jury to decide questions of law are for the judge to decide
05:25
This is clearly a question of fact and they always file these motions to dismiss. It's not gonna be granted
05:33
Virginia from California and I used to be a huge Ryan Reynolds fan
05:36
I loved his movies, but after everything unfolded with his wife and now trying to dismiss the case
05:42
It seems like the situation got out of hand. He can't control it. And now he wants to dismiss it
05:47
No, you made your bed you lying it. Well, it ain't gonna get dismissed
