Scarlett Johansson Dashes Past Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Amid Hollywood Feud Drama

BBG News

On a shining Thursday evening, Scarlett Johansson radiated self-assuredness at the illustrious 2025 Time100 event held in the heart of New York City.

40-year-old actress, who has been nominated for five Golden Globes, turned heads in a revealing black dress on the bustling red carpet, appearing solo without her husband, Colin Jost (age 42).

She was decked out in flashy gold jewelry and her dirty blonde hair was worn in a sleek updo.

2025 saw Johansson being honored on the prestigious Time 100 list, categorized as an Artist, alongside musical sensation Ed Sheeran and multitalented artist Rashida Jones.

She barely managed to steer clear of an embarrassing encounter with her former spouse, Ryan Reynolds, since she showed up mere minutes ahead of him and his partner, Blake Lively. The latter’s addition to the list of Most Influential People for 2025 has caused significant controversy.

This occurs under concerns that Johansson’s significant career shift might be eclipsed by the ongoing legal dispute between her former partner Reynolds, Lively, and It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni.

In a first as a lead director for features, Johansson’s film titled “Eleanor The Great” is scheduled to have its grand opening at the Cannes Film Festival within the upcoming month.

One of the production companies behind the project is none other than Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios.

Lively has accused Baldoni and Wayfarer CEO Jamey Heath of sexual harassment.

Furthermore, she claimed that she experienced a focused defamation campaign prior to the publication of It Ends With Us.

Later on, Baldoni filed a defamation lawsuit for approximately $400 million against Lively, Reynolds, and The New York Times, as they were the initial parties involved in the report of his first allegation.

In my line of work as a lifestyle expert, I’ve learned that every industry has its ups and downs. Recently, I’ve found myself reflecting on the situations faced by Wayfarer and Baldoni, two individuals who parted ways with their agencies amidst a whirlwind of drama. Sources close to him have shared that this turn of events could potentially cost him ‘three opportunities and hundreds of millions of dollars,’ according to The Hollywood Reporter. It’s always a reminder to stay adaptable in the ever-changing landscape of our careers.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but share my thoughts on the latest insider scoop from top attorney Lisa Bloom. In an exclusive chat with DailyMail.com, she shed light on how the intensifying media frenzy surrounding Scarlett Johansson’s high-profile feud could potentially impact her upcoming movie releases.

Bloom noted that the outcome, whether the film produced by Baldoni turns out to be a success or a failure, could significantly impact the court proceedings related to Johansson’s current project.

If the project fails, Baldoni might attribute it to the Blake Lively lawsuit and use it as evidence of the large sums of money in damages he’s requesting, she pointed out.

If his attempt is successful, the notion that Blake Lively is the reason he can’t thrive in Hollywood will be completely disproven, as Bloom pointed out.

Additionally, it is anticipated that Scarlett Johansson and other notable actors may be summoned to court for the Lively-Baldoni trial, where they will provide testimony about the earnings from the film and whether his claimed financial losses are accurate.

The lawyer (who happens to be Gloria Allred’s daughter) stated: ‘I believe the movie’s premiere might get eclipsed by media queries concerning the ongoing Lively-Baldoni court battle.’

In 2008, Reynolds and Johansson got married, but they separated in 2010, which was prior to him marrying Lively, who is currently his wife and mother of their four kids.

Or simply:
Reynolds and Johansson were married in 2008, but divorced in 2010; he later wed Lively and they now have four children together.

Johansson, who is currently wedded to Saturday Night Live actor Colin Jost, recently stepped into the role of a movie director for the first time with the release of Eleanor The Great.

In this film, the role of the central character, an elderly woman named June Squibb, is played. She’s 95 years old and has recently relocated to New York City following the demise of her dearest friend in Florida.

12 Years A Slave’s lead actor Chiwetel Ejiofor is set to star in a new film titled Eleanor The Great, which will be showcased in the Un Certain Regard section during the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Johansson herself hasn’t commented on the Lively-Baldoni incident, however, her spouse cracked a humorous remark about it during a performance on Saturday Night Live recently.

In a humorous skit about Donald Trump’s heated Oval Office encounter with Volodymyr Zelensky, Jost playfully compared the Ukrainian president’s hope of reconciling with Trump to me yearning for another chance to collaborate with Blake: “Just like Justin Baldoni longing to work together again.
