Ryan Reynolds has defended Blake Lively in her ongoing legal battle against Justin Baldoni, a co-star and director on It Ends with Us, stating his support has not wavered. The dispute began when Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni for sexual harassment and claimed there was an effort to damage her reputation due to the film's release. Baldoni responded with a $400 million counter-suit, accusing Lively and Reynolds of defamation and breach of contract.
