Ryan Reynolds It Ends With Us Emails: Unsealed Docs Reveal 'Egotistical' Defense of Blake Lively

The "nicest guy in Hollywood" tag is under fire. Recently unsealed court documents from 2026 legal proceedings have exposed a series of aggressive emails sent by Ryan Reynolds regarding the production of 'It Ends With Us'. The emails, aimed at protecting his wife Blake Lively, have left fans questioning the actor's public persona as he clashes with director Justin Baldoni.

The 'Dumb-Dumb-Juice' Emails: Reynolds' Sharp Defense

In the documents, Reynolds didn't hold back his disdain for Baldoni. Writing to agent Warren Zavala, he referred to the director and his team as "buckets of dumb-dumb-juice." He demanded they take responsibility for the negative press surrounding the film, insisting they should be "protecting" Lively from the "controlling b**" narrative forming online. Reynolds expressed frustration that his wife was being asked to "clean up this sloppy, cliched f*storm."

A day after the movie's premiere in August 2024, Reynolds also contacted author Colleen Hoover. In the email, he mocked Hoover's illness, suggesting it was her body "ridding itself of any residual Baldoni." He praised Lively and Hoover for giving "s****y people" a "pants-down spanking" through their success, further cementing the deep divide between 'Team Blake' and the director.

Lively’s Claims of Directing and Script Rewrites

The unsealed exhibits also include emails from Lively herself. Writing to Matt Damon, she claimed to have "rewrote the entire script" and "directed every actor." She described a grueling post-production battle where she had only 10 days to create an edit that could compete with Baldoni's version, claiming she slept for only 90 minutes a night.

Public reaction to these leaks has been polarizing. While some see a supportive husband, many online critics have labeled Reynolds "narcissistic" and "manipulative." Comments on platforms like Reddit suggest the emails reflect an obsession with Baldoni that borders on "creepy," with one user noting, "Every single correspondence, they can’t stop talking about Justin."
