Ryan Reynolds Calls Justin Baldoni ‘Dumb-Dumb’ in Leaked Text Messages

He complained that the actor-director, 41, and his colleagues did not accept the public blow after the first reports of tension on the film set began to circulate.

He wrote: “Baldoni and these other buckets of stupid-stupid-juice should own up to the speculation and gossip themselves.

“They should jump for it in the fullest, most unqualified way possible. Now.’

In the exchange, Reynolds, 49, speculated on strategies to protect his wife from bad publicity, stating that she “shouldn’t be subjected to some eye-roll-y narrative from the ‘controlling b—-‘” amid early reports of disagreements during production.

Reynolds raged at Baldoni and his team “must protect” Lively, adding, “They can and must accept the consequences of their actions and indulge in the countless and deliberately abusive behavior before it leans against them.”

“They’ve made a big mess of this. Blake should – under NO CIRCUMSTANCES – be asked to clean up this sloppy, clichéd f-storm.”
