Candace Owens has tossed out her opinion on the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni feud, and she revealed that she thinks Ryan Reynolds is the “true villain” behind the scenes.
“Yesterday I received a tip from someone who allegedly worked on the set of It Ends With Us. Lately everyone is bashing Blake Lively, but apparently the true villain in this saga is … Ryan Reynolds,” Owens, 35, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, January 24.
Owens said that her source was “alleging that everything started” after Reynolds, 48, “decided to stroll onto the movie set one day and review the dailies.” The political commentator then claimed her source said that the Deadpool star took a look at the script and “something set him off.”
“This person claims (and I cannot verify) that the production assistants then overhead Ryan and Blake having an argument in her trailer,” Owens continued in a following slide.
She added that her source claimed that Reynolds went to the WME talent agency and gave them an ultimatum demanding they drop Baldoni, 41, from their client roster.
“Here’s what I think likely happened,” Owens wrote. “My opinion. Ryan Reynolds is grossly insecure. This, in part, motivated by the fact that he dates and married women who are almost a decade younger than him.”
Owens then pulled a previous interview with Reynolds’ ex-wife, Scarlett Johansson, and claimed that Johansson, 40, “came very close to saying” that the Green Lantern star’s jealousy had played a part in the demise of their marriage.
As Owens continued with her theory, she claimed that Reynolds had used the characters he’s played on screen to “humiliate” others in the industry. She alleged that was what happened with the character Nicepool in Deadpool & Wolverine. Owens also shared an old interview with Reynolds’ Deadpool 2 costar TJ Miller (who played Weasel in the first two Deadpool films) on Adam Carolla’s podcast that she seemingly believed to be evidence of her theory.
“As the character, he was, like, horrifically mean to me. But to me. As if I’m Weasel,” Miller, 43, said during an appearance on “The Adam Carolla Show” in 2022. “He was like, ‘You know what’s great about you, Weasel? You’re not the star, but you do just enough exposition that it’s funny, and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.’ I just kind of listened and thought it was weird, and then I got off stage because they were like, ‘Cut…?'”
Miller then added that the crew also seemed uncomfortable with the interaction afterward.
Owens ended her theory by writing, “Final thoughts: I think Ryan Reynolds is unhinged. I think Blake was fine with everything in the movie she signed on for (hence not requesting an intimacy coordinator) and then all that changed the day her husband showed up to set and allegedly blew a fuse.”
Lively, 37, filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024 and accused him of inappropriate behavior on the set of It Ends With Us. Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, quickly slammed the allegations.
“It is shameful that Ms. Lively and her representatives would make such serious and categorically false accusations against Mr. Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its representatives,” Freedman said in a statement.
On January 16, Baldoni filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds, and Lively’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, accusing them of “civil extortion, defamation and invasion of privacy.”
Lively’s rep responded with a statement to In Touch and said, “The strategy of attacking the woman is desperate, it does not refute the evidence in Ms. Lively’s complaint, and it will fail.”
