Justin Baldoni attorney blasts Ryan Reynolds’ ‘obvious’ diss in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

nypost.com:

During an interview with Megyn Kelly on Tuesday, Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, slammed “The Green Lantern” star, 48. The alleged insult was in a viral deleted scene from Reynolds’ movie “Deadpool & Wolverine.”In the clip, Reynolds has a man bun, the hairstyle Baldoni wore for decades until 2023, and he is “Nicepool.”“Oh my goodness, wait til you’ve seen Ladypool,” the supposed “Nicepool” says in the clip. “She is gorgeous.

She just had a baby too, and [you] can’t even tell.”When Reynolds — as Deadpool — said that Nicepool wasn’t “supposed to say that,” the character replied, “That’s OK.

I identify as a feminist.”He added, “I’d be fighting alongside you, but my calling is to one day start a podcast that monetizes the women’s movement.”Baldoni had a podcast called “The Man Enough Podcast,” which purports to explore “what it means to be a man today and how rigid gender roles have affected all people.”Viewers on social media poured over the clip and saw it as a diss against Baldoni.

One pointed out that Lively’s character “lights up” Nicepool in front of a flower shop, an apparent reference to her “It Ends With Us” character, a florist named Lily Bloom.“If your wife is sexually harassed, you don’t make fun of Justin Baldoni.
