Justin Baldoni’s family appearance at Dancing with The Stars earlier this week, reportedly did not sit well with Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
The couple – who have been embroiled in a legal battle with Justin since Blake filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him in 2024, have expressed their dismay at Disney for warmly welcoming the It Ends With Us actor and his wife, Emily, as guests of their longtime friend Julianne Hough.
An inside source close to Blake and Ryan – who have been long associated with Marvel Studios, owned by Disney, confirmed to Rob Shuter that the couple is “furious” over the network’s kindness towards their nemesis.
“Ryan made Disney hundreds of millions with Deadpool, and this is how they repay him?” said the source.
“They expected loyalty, not a front-row welcome for the man they’ve been fighting!” added the insider.
Inside Blake Lively's sexual harrasment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni
In her sexual harassment lawsuit – which Blake and her It Ends With Us costar and director settled outside court in May this year, the Gossip Girl actress made 13 claims against Justin.
However, 10 out of 13 claims made by Blake were dismissed by the federal judge.
Meanwhile Justin’s counter lawsuit of defamation against The Age of Adeline actress was also dismissed as he failed to present any evidence supporting by the given deadline.
Despite settling the lawsuit with Justin, Blake had requested for a payout of $8million in legal fees, however, Ryan’s wife was only awarded $407,451.75, which is roughly 5% of her initial request.
