Justin Baldoni’s lawyer accuses Ryan Reynolds of mocking actor in Deadpool & Wolverine scene

Bryan Freedman appeared on Megyn Kelly’s talk show claiming that Reynolds has used ‘his power and influence’ to help Blake Lively in her battle against Baldoni. Justin Baldoni’s attorney has accused Ryan Reynolds of making a mockery of the It Ends with Us director and star in his recent Deadpool & Wolverine film.
“What Ryan Reynolds has seemingly done is use his power and influence to not only help Blake Lively take over [It Ends with Us] but he’s used it on Deadpool and to make fun of Justin Baldoni,” Freedman told host Megyn Kelly. Kelly then went on to play a clip from the third instalment in the superhero franchise, which sees Nicepool, a variant of Reynolds’s character, introduce himself to Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine for the first time.
“Oh my goodness, wait until you see Ladypool. She is gorgeous,” a man bun-wearing Nicepool says of Lively’s mutant mercenary. “She just had a baby, too, you can’t even tell.”. “I don’t think you’re supposed to say that,” Deadpool retorts. Nicepool responds: “That’s ok. I identify as a feminist.”.
“What do you make of that?” the conservative pundit asked Freedman. “What I make of that is that if your wife is sexually harassed, you don’t make fun of Justin Baldoni,” the lawyer replied. “You don’t make fun of the situation. You take it very seriously. File HR complaints. You raise the issue and follow a legal process.
“What you don’t do is mock the person and turn it into a joke. There’s no question it relates to Justin. I mean anybody that can watch that — the hair bun, the comment about the pregnancy — it’s pretty obvious what’s being done,” he argued.
