Ryan Reynolds' On-Set Showdown: The Argument That Changed Everything

Speculation surrounding It Ends With Us has taken a 180° turn after controversial journalist Candace Owens reignited the buzz with shocking new claims. Owens reported that a reliable source—someone who worked closely on set—tipped her off about a fiery confrontation between Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

According to the insider, Reynolds made an unexpected visit to the set, where he reportedly sifted through the daily footage. What happened next, however, left the crew stunned. Reynolds allegedly stormed into Blake’s trailer, and the heated argument that followed could be heard across the set.

From that moment on, everything changed. Sources claim that Reynolds began chaperoning Blake everywhere, keeping a watchful eye on her interactions. Tensions escalated further when he allegedly tried to wrangle the Project out of Justin's hands.

Blake’s On-Set Romances: A Pattern?

A long-standing theory surrounding It Ends With Us co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has recently gained momentum after conservative commentator Candace Owens brought it into the spotlight. The speculation suggests that Lively may have developed feelings for Baldoni during the film’s production—fueling whispers of an off-screen romance that could have sent shockwaves through her marriage to Ryan Reynolds.

Supporters of this theory point to Blake's history of on- and off-screen chemistry with her co-stars, citing past relationships with Penn Badgley and, most notably, Reynolds himself. The timeline of her relationship with Reynolds has also raised eyebrows—sparking rumors that their romance may have begun during his marriage to Scarlett Johansson. Although never confirmed, the fact that Lively and Reynolds went public just three months after his divorce has been enough to keep speculation alive.

Could this be a case of karma coming full circle? Some suggest that Reynolds, once rumored to have left Johansson for Lively, may have feared history repeating itself with Baldoni.

Did Blake and Justin’s Closeness Push Ryan Over the Edge?

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s relationship, as detailed in the explosive 80-page lawsuit, appears far more intimate than the usual dynamic between co-stars. The documents revealed they were undeniably close— “ Lively was so close and comfortable with Baldoni that she freely breast-fed in front of him during meetings. She took photos of him holding and soothing her crying baby in her penthouse. They laughed deliriously during late-night writing session”The lawsuit paints a picture of undeniable closeness—right down to Lively knowing Baldoni’s exact tea order. While their bond may have been nothing more than a deep creative friendship, it raises the question: Did Ryan Reynolds, Lively’s husband, feel insecure, or even replaced?

Using his infamous character-Deadpool to showcase his personal vendetta

Justin Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, responded to fan speculation that Ryan Reynolds mocked Baldoni in his recent movie Deadpool & Wolverine through the character Nicepool, a man bun-wearing pseudo-feminist version of Deadpool. Appearing on Megyn Kelly's SiriusXM show, Freedman stated there was "no question" that the character was a dig at Baldoni. He criticized Reynolds for making light of serious issues, saying, "If somebody is seriously sexually harassed, you don’t make fun of it." The scene in question features Nicepool commenting on Blake Lively's character, saying she looks great after having a baby, to which Deadpool responds skeptically, and Nicepool defends himself by identifying as a feminist. Fans have drawn parallels between Nicepool and Baldoni, noting that Baldoni is widely recognized for his signature man bun and his advocacy for feminism, particularly through his podcast Man Enough, which explores gender roles and masculinity.

What Is Reynolds Hiding behind that gag order?

Further complicating matters, reports suggest Reynolds and Blake are now pushing for a gag order on a website planning to release private correspondences between Lively and Baldoni. The urgency to suppress these messages has only fueled speculation—what could be in those texts that they don't want the world to see? As the legal battle rages on, one thing is clear—this story is far from over. With Hollywood’s golden couple caught in the crossfire and Baldoni fighting to clear his name, the internet is left to piece together the puzzle.

Is Ryan Reynolds protecting his marriage, his career, or something more ? The world is watching.
