Ryan Reynolds Shows Off Blake Lively’s Baking Skills Amid Lawsuit Drama

BBG News

Ryan Reynolds acknowledged his wife Blake Lively’s exceptional baking abilities, even as their legal dispute with Justin Baldoni persists and remains a topic of interest.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I couldn’t help but share a delightful discovery from my weekend: homemade dog-themed cupcakes, sweetly captured on Instagram Stories by the talented hand of none other than my spouse.

As a devoted follower, I’m sharing that Ryan tagged Blake in a picture featuring delightful cupcakes artfully adorned with frosting, creatively shaped like playful pup faces.

He also injected some fun into it by choosing Rosemary Clooney’s timeless tune, “How Much Is That Doggie in the Window,” as the background music for his post.

A touching act followed shortly after Ryan unexpectedly showed up at Hugh Jackman’s performance in New York City, further strengthening their legendary friendship.

The timing of the post is subsequent to Reynolds and Lively strengthening their demand for a gag order in their legal dispute, which involves Lively’s It Ends With Us co-star Baldoni, as well.

On Friday evening, the couple’s attorney emphasized in a letter to Judge Lewis J. Liman the importance of maintaining the protective order, which prohibits out-of-court comments from Baldoni’s legal team, as reported by Deadline.

In simpler terms, attorney Esra Hudson stated that insisting lawyers follow ethical guidelines isn’t a restriction; it’s a means to guarantee that the court proceedings aren’t influenced by a lawyer’s behavior outside the courtroom.

The letter goes on to state that the Wayfarer Parties are trying to create a misleading comparison which could lead to serious repercussions, not only for this specific case, but also for other women who face sexual harassment in the workplace, given the prominence of this issue.

Hudson also suggested that Baldoni’s alleged smear campaign against Lively may still be ongoing.

The attorney for the actress pointed out that what’s even more concerning in her complaint, backed by substantial evidence, is a retaliation strategy attributed to Baldoni, which involves harmful behind-the-scenes activities. This includes Melissa Nathan, Baldoni’s crisis PR chief, frequently using her extensive tabloid media contacts to generate a continuous flow of negative press about the actress. Additionally, there’s an intricate and covert digital social media manipulation campaign orchestrated to influence algorithms negatively against the actress.

‘The Lively-Reynolds Parties understand and concur that these actions have persisted without interruption since the CRD Complaint was submitted, possibly even intensifying. If such conduct persists, it could significantly undermine the fairness of this case.’

This past week, the lawyers for Lively and Reynolds asked for a restraining order to prevent Baldoni’s legal team from engaging in behavior they deemed as ‘unprofessional actions’. They claimed this was due to an ongoing ‘annoying and revengeful media campaign’ targeted at the couple.

Following the filing on Tuesday, attorney Kevin Fritz, representing Baldoni, declined the couple’s petition for a gag order by writing a letter to Judge Liman.

The first plea for a gag order was made following the dissemination of a shocking video by Baldoni’s lawyer, which depicted Lively and Baldoni on the set of “Ends With Us”.

DailyMail.com unveiled an electrifying video, displaying no less than three attempts of a dance sequence featuring Lively, aged 37, and Baldoni, 40. The footage hinted at a warm relationship between them prior to the actress’s allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

In response to the clip’s unveiling, Lively asserted that it confirmed her discomfort during the filming of that particular scene.

In a statement shared with DailyMail.com, Justin Baldoni’s legal team expressed concern that his recent actions might be an attempt to divert attention from incriminating evidence against him. However, the video itself appears to be highly incriminating.

The team asserts that the video clearly depicts Mr. Baldoni repeatedly getting close to Ms. Lively, appearing to try to kiss her, touching her forehead, brushing his facial features against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, tenderly touching her, complimenting her scent, and conversing with her in an unexpected manner.

Each frame in the disclosed video material aligns perfectly with the details that Ms. Lively provided in paragraph 48 of her complaint.

In addition, Lively’s legal representative stated that the scenes of intimacy portrayed in the movie, directed and acted by Baldoni with Lively, were not rehearsed or planned out.

At each instance, Mr. Baldoni ad-libbed his actions without prior consultation or approval, and there was no intimacy advisor on set.

In addition to sharing screen time with Ms. Lively as a fellow actor, Mr. Baldoni also held key roles behind the scenes – he directed the film, served as the head of the studio, and was in a position of authority over Ms. Lively.

Lively’s lawyers argue that her movement of stepping back from Baldoni during the scene was not a part of the scripted actions, but rather an instance where she was requesting the characters to engage in a conversation instead.

Women who have experienced unwanted physical contact at work may empathize with Ms. Lively’s unease.

They’ll understand her jokes as an effort to divert inappropriate physical advances. It’s unfortunate that a woman must resort to protective strategies just to prevent an employer from touching them without permission.

Their team contends that sharing the video with the press is yet another instance of an underhanded tactic meant to deceive the public, and it represents a persistent effort to bully and retaliate.

Her legal representative declared that we’re persisting in making them appear in court to give honest testimonies, not just stage-managed publicity events.

During the lawsuit, one of the most shocking revelations emerged: Baldoni was accused of sexually harassing Lively during filming, by running his lips along her neck and saying it smelled delightful to him.

Last month, when she submitted her civil rights claim, the actress emphasized that no one could have heard the remark since the love scene played without sound and the microphones had been turned off.

However, we at DailyMail.com have secured a sensational video that reveals Baldoni’s sound equipment being turned on across all three takes, which was obtained exclusively by us.

The recordings demonstrate a warm camaraderie between the two celebrities prior to things taking a turn for the worse. They can be seen laughing and playfully bantering – even poking fun at Baldoni’s nose size and discussing their leisure activities with their respective spouses.

At approximately seven minutes into the recording, it’s evident that the remark about her having a delightful scent was actually in response to Lively discussing her spray tan during their dance scene filming, making the comment seem like a part of the conversation rather than an unsolicited compliment.

As an over-the-moon fan, I’d rephrase it like this: “Baldoni playfully hints that his beard might find its way onto Lively, to which she cheekily replies that perhaps she’ll be giving him a spray tan instead. He teasingly remarks, ‘It smells good,’ and they both share a hearty laugh. However, Lively clarifies that the aroma he’s enjoying is actually from her body makeup.

Although the montage depicts Baldoni tenderly touching Lively’s neck during a scene where they portray lovers, their dialogue primarily revolved around technical aspects like lighting, along with discussions about their respective partners.

The unedited video, captured during the filming of “It Ends With Us,” includes both visual and auditory content, was shared with DailyMail.com by the actor’s production company Wayfarer and his lawyer Bryan Freedman – a man who has previously stated that Baldoni has no secrets to conceal.

The most recent development in a prolonged story, initially sparked by whispers of discord on the set of “It Ends With Us,” comes from exclusive footage provided by DailyMail.com, which was first premiered last August.

Right before Christmas, the legal battle erupted between the two parties as the striking brunette filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual misconduct.

Or:
Just prior to Christmas, the situation escalated into a courtroom dispute when the stylish brunette took Baldoni to court for alleged sexual harassment.

Simultaneously, a report by The New York Times emerged from Lively’s court documents, alleging he masterminded a defamation campaign against her, with the accusation of foul odor taking center stage.

Turning the tables, I myself found myself filing a defamation suit against The Times, while last week, I initiated an astounding $400 million lawsuit against actress Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds. The accusations allege that she misused her celebrity clout to hijack my film project and orchestrate actions aimed at sabotaging my career.

Initially, Lively claimed there was no sound in this fresh video; however, it starts with a conversation between them about a scene. The actress then informs Baldoni, “I’ve moved from my starting point.

Interestingly, at one moment in the montage, the duo engage in a discussion over whether speaking or kissing is more romantic. Lively maintains that conversation is more sentimental, to which Baldoni agrees. Later, when she ponders if anyone would figure out what they’re truly discussing, Baldoni humorously remarks, “Nobody will ever guess.

As our chat continued, I couldn’t help but share my own story. I, too, am blessed with a remarkable partnership. My husband and I communicate constantly, just like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds do. On the other hand, my friend Jensen Avalos Baldoni and his wife Emily seem to have found a unique way of expressing their love. They often find themselves locked in silent gazes, as if they’ve only been looking at each other for a few minutes, but in reality, it’s more like five whole minutes!

After a jovial chuckle, Lively confides in him, “I believe you’d find it quite frightening.” As she continues discussing her ongoing conversations with Reynolds, Baldoni responds with a smile, “Oh, I think that’s adorable. You two are really endearing together.

She responds, a bit self-consciously saying, “I believe it’s more than adorable,” which he quickly concurs, adding, “I think you two are fantastic.

In the interview, Baldoni, both director and actor of “It Ends With Us,” expresses a desire to capture scenes of them almost kissing on camera. Later in the conversation, Lively explains that she prefers their dialogue to be more romantic, arguing that it’s more captivating for the audience not to give in to the expectation of a kiss.

She chats on without pause, eventually encouraging them to press their foreheads together.

At that moment, Lively starts discussing the topic of noses with Baldoni, saying, “I can’t help but be curious about them. It’s all about noses.

Later on, Baldoni jokes about his large nose, to which she responds with a fit of laughter and says, “Indeed! It’s something we should discuss. I need to make some calls – probably to an insurance company about it. Oh, I’m just joking.

The video proceeds to the second recording, where Baldoni is audible providing directions to the team and conferring with Lively about the scene.

Approximately seven minutes into their discussion, it seems that a crucial exchange occurs, possibly the basis for Lively’s allegation. This dialogue starts when Baldoni inquires, “Are you growing a beard on me?

She chuckles and remarks, “I might be giving myself a spray tan on you,” to which he responds, “It has a nice scent,” followed by more laughter from both of them.

Lively then tells him: ‘Well it’s not that, it’s my body makeup.’

With the crowd bursting into applause, Baldoni calls out “Cut!” and informs them that they’ve captured enough footage for a 17-minute video segment.

In my advice as a lifestyle expert, I’d say the concluding tip revolves around footwear. During our conversation, Baldoni generously offered me the reins and said, “I’ll hand over direction to you.” But Lively gracefully refused, explaining that her heels weren’t visible because they were adorned with a bit of sparkle.

A fresh, sensational video has been released by DailyMail.com, just under five days since Baldoni’s lawsuit was initiated, and approximately two weeks following allegations that the actress handed legal documents to the actor and his team amid the chaos of the Los Angeles wildfire evacuation.

In Baldoni’s movie, Lively stands charged for not reading the source novel until well into the filming process and for devising a damaging public relations strategy involving her personal publicist Leslie Sloane and the New York Times without their knowledge.

In a specific occurrence, as stated in the court documents, Lively allegedly sought to frighten Baldoni by referencing her well-known spouse and close companion, Taylor Swift, before boasting that she was similar to the Game of Thrones character Daenerys Targaryen (Khaleesi), and saying, “I have many dragons.

The actress, along with her associates, face allegations that they manipulated text exchanges between Baldoni’s representatives, making them appear incriminating and suggesting a plan for a defamatory campaign against her. Consequently, this act led to them being targeted with abusive comments on social media when these altered texts were released.

Baldoni’s counterclaim further disclosed that he and his kin were compelled to watch the debut of “It Ends With Us” in a basement, as Lively declined to let him share the same space with her during the event.
