Blake Lively‘s ongoing legal drama with Justin Baldoni has reportedly been causing people from Hollywood to maintain a “distance” from the “A Simple Favor” actor and also her husband, Ryan Reynolds. As reported by Us Weekly, a source told them that there has been “a growing sentiment that the situation has crossed from a private dispute into an industry-wide headache.”
In the meantime, another source said to the news outlet that “People in Hollywood have been distancing themselves” from Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.” The insider further claimed, “Even close friends of theirs have been keeping their heads down and staying neutral.”
Meanwhile, Mark Borkowski, a PR expert, went on to say to the news outlet that “No one wants to be an accessory in someone else’s legal psychodrama.” The expert further explained, “Their reputational risk is minimal — but their irritation levels will be off the charts.”
In the meantime, many of the private messages, released in the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni case, have reportedly put “things in a new light.” According to the news outlet, Tre Lovell, an entertainment and defamation lawyer, said, “Many of the messages strengthen Baldoni’s defense.”
The person continued, “And corroborate his position that the dispute was about creative input, not harassment.” Rachael Bennet, a senior lawyer, also shared views on some of the conversations. According to the lawyer, “Some of the conversations could undermine her (Blake Lively’s) claims.” “That there was some kind of imbalance of power,” added the senior lawyer.
