The Cracks in Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s Relationship: Taylor Swift gets dragged in messy takedown
Hollywood is no stranger to celebrity drama, but the unfolding saga between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is something entirely different. With Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift now caught in the mix, this controversy has turned into a spectacle unlike anything we've seen before.
From behind-the-scenes tensions to unexpected fall-outs, this story will go down in history.
Ever since Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds filed a complaint against Justin Baldoni, it’s been hit after hit for both of them.
Justin’s lawsuit hit back and exposed Blake and Ryan acting in such a slimy uncomfortable way that it truly begs the question, “Will either of their careers survive?”
Justin exposed Blake for thinking of herself as a queen—a Khaleesi reference to Game of Thrones Khaleesi—bragging that Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds are her dragons who come out and protect her when they have to.
Oh that’s not-
It was basically a threat to him proving how much power she has and telling him that if he sided with her he’ll gain these dragons of hers as well.
Taylor is now claiming to have dropped Blake and Ryan as friends, feeling used and manipulated.
Ryan is being questioned if he is the one behind this mess considering he has his controversies that can easily spill out with the latest Tiktok theory being that he is the one possibly emotionally abusing Blake himself.
So I gathered my source info and I come to you all with a treat.
The first true thing is that Blake wanted control of the movie. According to my source, Blake thought too highly of herself to simply just be an actress in this movie.
“She didn’t understand that she and Justin could have different roles because he was an actor too, like her. For some reason she wasn’t processing the fact that he was the director and producer and does have power over her when it comes to the movie.” -my source
My source also said that Blake realized it could be an opportunity for her to demand things from Justin because he was a lesser star than her.
“Blake is used to working with directors and producers who could easily not give a crap about her opinions. They know they don’t need to. With Justin, she saw automatically how open he was to letting her have a bigger role than intended. It wasn’t manipulation at first, Blake didn’t go into the movie thinking she was gonna ruin everything ahead of her but she did let it get to her head about how she was a bigger star and knew more than Justin did.” — my source
The issues on set got blown out of proportion because Blake and Ryan didn’t seem to know when to stop pushing their luck. My source says that Ryan was a heavy influence on Blake’s recent actions.
Years ago I exposed that Ryan Reynolds is a controlling man. This was pipping hot tea because it was given to me in 2014 back when nobody really cared too much about Blake or Ryan.
Now it seems like it’s a common fact about Ryan with the general public seeing him as this controlling entity.
Ryan has said that because he came from a household where his dad was very emotional and angry, growing up Ryan would need to control everything in order to limit his dad’s anger.
Ryan naturally is someone who is controlling and maybe some of that falls on his childhood and how his dad lacked any emotion around him that wasn’t anger.
In the past, I was told that Ryan was a “control freak” who didn’t want Blake working at all. He didn’t think nannies should be raising his children, he thought his wife should. Blake used to be miserable in her marriage, crying in bed all day because she gave up her career for him.
While Ryan would be out working, Blake would be playing housewife missing the glamour of being a working actress.
Blake also thought she was a much bigger household name than she actually was, so she mourned all the opportunities she had lost.
If you recall Ryan and Blake got together before Gossip Girl ended. They got together in 2011 and Gossip Girl ended in 2012. It was a weird shock to people that after Gossip Girl ended, Blake didn’t do much acting till 2015.
According to my source, Ryan was adamant that she stop working during those years. She was at the peak of her career and he told her to become a housewife.
It crushed her.
I remember hearing this story and feeling bad for her and whenever I saw her working, I kid you not I thought “Wow good to see he’s okay with it now.”
I never really saw Ryan as a humble chill man. Even though he never faced public backlash until now, I always side-eyed him because he didn’t seem genuine to me.
When I asked my source about the drama today, my source had a few interesting things to say about Ryan.
“Ryan thinks he’s a mastermind because he found a way to help himself in the long run with Deadpool and what-not. He knows how to make people like him and he built himself up to A list in whatever way he could. He also thinks he’s smarter than Blake and only he knows how to save her career after the mess she made.”
My source said that a lot of Blake’s actions were influenced by her ego and Ryan.
And yet he is looking at Blake right now like this was all HER FAULT and he needs to be the savior once again.
It’s giving: “you see, this is why I didn’t want you acting in the first place.”
I asked my source about the legitimacy of Blake’s SA claim and this is what they said.
“There’s not much in the SA claim that makes any sense because they both hit it off in a way that was suspicious.”
“Blake felt like Justin’s kindness and sensitivity were things Ryan didn’t show much, so she leaned in on him the more he gave her a genuine and thoughtful compliment …Justin thought Blake was great, he was a little starstruck by her but he kept everything very professional to the point where even if he did like her back, he didn’t act on it.” -my source
I can see Ryan getting too jealous about Blake being in a movie that revolves around two love interests.
My source said that Ryan was too involved in picking movies Blake should get and he always leaned towards movies where Blake didn’t have a huge love interest.
If you think about it, a huge chunk of Blake’s movies aren’t centered around love interests like It Ends With Us.
The only ones I can think of that had a “big” love interest role were The Age of Adeline and Cafe Society. So it makes me think Ryan’s control extends to him also being a very jealous partner.
“Blake had a huge ego for It Ends With Us, but Ryan is the one steamrolling the lawsuits. He is CONVINCED Justin acted out of character and was attracted to his wife,” my source said.
“I think to save herself Blake didn’t deny it. Ryan doesn’t like the fact that Justin ‘got one over him’ by continuously kissing his wife even though nothing points to Justin being unprofessional and it all points to Ryan and Blake being unfair towards a lesser known celebrity.”
According to my source, Ryan was reportedly very jealous and angry over Justin. He couldn’t stand Justin and was convinced his entire personality was a fake act.
Hence “nicepool.”
He took any chance he could to make fun of Justin and everything he stands for.
I asked about Taylor and if she is as innocent as her representatives are now claiming.
If you recall, Taylor’s PR team told TMZ that she felt used by Blake, manipulated, and was angry that Blake referred to her as a dragon.
“Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby, And I'm a monster on the hill, Too big to hang out…” Taylor for Anti-Hero
My source said that Taylor hates being referenced as some scary monster because, in the past, the press and her own insecurities have made her feel like a power-hungry monster.
So being called a “dragon” wasn’t something she was pleased to have the public know.
We will elaborate more about Taylor’s new soft-girl-I-love-everyone persona in the next post about her relationships with Olivia Rodrigo & Sabrina Carpenter.
I can only imagine Taylor’s face when she saw the dragons and her name next to it.
“I don’t think Taylor cares if Blake uses her slightly for power as much as she cares that the information becomes public,” says my source.
“Taylor has always cared more for her image than for anyone else and to see Blake flaunt the power Taylor has and how they can easily use it to team up against others, was a major red alert in Taylor’s brain. She is SO angry that it got this far and her friends exposed the power dynamic at play.”
Taylor has always treated people who worked for her with respect so it’s a bit of a “yikes” moment for her when others don’t do the same.
She almost looks down at them for their incapability of realizing that the only way to make it big is to make sure the people who work for you, like you.
Since Blake has a bit of a reputation for being difficult, you would think she would suck it up for a big movie that could open up other opportunities for her, had it gone well.
But now it’s a shit show.
For years, my sources have always said that Blake was sweet and did a lot of acts of kindness behind the scenes.
So you can imagine the shock to hear that she was always difficult to work with.
“Yeah, she’s humble when she’s being humbled by being a forgotten TV actress. No one said she was evil so if she secretly donated money here and there, great. But she was nice when she wasn’t in a position to be mean and I think that says a lot,” my source said.
Taylor has always watched out for her own back and has normalized cutting people off even after spending half a decade with them.
She was fine when it was time to let Selena go, she was fine when she let Joe Alywn go (he let her go actually but the public acts as if they weren’t together for 6 years), her model friends, and now Blake and Ryan.
she just can’t stop cutting people off 😍
Taylor is the godmother of Blake and Ryan's daughters, Inez and James. She has also included the names of the girls in her song "betty" and their daughter’s voice in her song Gorgeous.
All that goes down the drain once Taylor is brought up in bad publicity.
“I’m not sure if Taylor is gonna completely cut off Blake because I know she really doesn’t want to, but as of right now she is not going to be seen with her publicly. Blake can kiss the SuperBowl spotlight goodbye this year.” - my source
According to my source, Taylor had an idea of what happened during the filming of It Ends With Us, but not to the extent that everyone thinks.
According to Justin’s lawsuit, Blake told him that Taylor and Ryan always back her up because she has been screwed by producers and directors in the past. These people liked her work but never gave her public credit for it.
My source said that Taylor cheered Blake on and liked her ideas, but it’s not like Taylor was the one on the set to see it for herself. She minded her own business because nothing out of the ordinary was going on.
“Taylor told Blake she had great ideas and she was excited for her because she had this big project but Blake wasn’t telling Taylor everything so she only knew what Blake told her,” said my source.
“I doubt Taylor knew how bad it was getting or how much Ryan was getting involved. Even if you think about it, it’s not like Ryan and Blake are coming out and saying ‘we need control for wardrobe, we need script control,’ it was more like ‘I’m redoing the outfits because it needs to fit the character better’ and Taylor would be like ‘that’s great.’”
