“Laughter is the best medicine”—unless, of course, it’s at someone else’s expense. In the case ofDeadpool 3, the joke may have crossed the line. Justin Baldoni, best known for his role inIt Ends with Us, is in the midst of a legal firestorm, but this time, it’s not about Hollywood drama or blockbuster movies.
Instead, his lawyer, Bryan Freedman, is speaking out about what he believes is a blatant jab made by Ryan Reynolds in the 2024 Marvel film. A quirky character named Nicepool, played by Reynolds himself, has fans raising eyebrows. Why? Well, Nicepool’s odd comment about pregnancy seems to hit too close to home for Baldoni.
Also, note that neither Reynolds nor Lively have yet commented on the specificDeadpool 3scene in question, and it’s unclear how the situation will unfold.
Justin Baldoni’s lawyer fires back atDeadpooljoke?
In a world where humor is often the perfect disguise for deep-seated issues, sometimes the punchline lands harder than intended. And it looks likeRyan Reynolds’Deadpool 3may have gone a little too far this time.
The wisecracking, irreverent superhero’s latest flick will now be at the heart of a legal debate, thanks to a seemingly innocent yet loaded joke involvingJustin Baldoni’s character. While Nicepool delivered a cheeky line, his remarks have sparked fury from Baldoni’s legal team.
“Nicepool is supposed to be Justin Baldoni”: Blake Lively’s Ladypool Teasing It Ends With Us BTS Scandal Theory Is as Absurd as It Sounds
The moment that raised eyebrows occurs when Nicepool makes a comment about Ladypool, played by none other thanBlake Lively, saying,
Oh my goodness, wait ’til you’ve seen Ladypool. She is gorgeous. She just had a baby too, and you can’t even tell.
Of course, Deadpool couldn’t resist responding,“I don’t think you’re supposed to say that,”but Nicepool fires back with, “That’s OK. I identify as a feminist.”
It was an exchange meant to get a laugh, but for Baldoni’s legal team, it was anything but funny. In aninterviewwith Megyn Kelly, Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s lawyer, unpacks the brewing legal storm between Baldoni and Hollywood power couple Lively and Reynolds.
He dives into the reasons behind the lawsuit, the potential fallout from Reynolds allegedly mocking Baldoni inDeadpool 3, and the growing chorus of voices accusing Lively of “bully” behavior.
Freedman said:
What I make of that is that if your wife is s*xually harassed, you don’t make fun of Justin Baldoni.You don’t make fun of the situation. You take it very seriously. You file HR complaints, raise the issue, and follow a legal process.
He continued, “What you don’t do is mock the person and turn it into a joke.”According to Freedman, the pregnancy comment was too obvious to ignore.
Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Legal battle heats up
Bryan Freedman’s remarks come after Justin Baldoni’s legal woes surrounding accusations of sexual harassment made by Blake Lively. Baldoni has filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit againstThe New York Times.
But Lively’s legal team isn’t backing down. In fact, they are firing back with an arsenal of claims, stating that Baldoni’s efforts to attack her are nothing more than a distraction from the real issue—serious allegations of misconduct.
“This is not a ‘he said/she said’ situation,” Lively’s lawyers toldE! Newson January 6. They argue that Baldoni’s response to the initial complaint was nothing short of an“unlawful retaliatory astroturfing” against Lively, simply for trying to stand up for herself and others on a film set.

Meanwhile, Baldoni’s camp isn’t staying quiet either. According to his lawyer, Bryan Freedman, there’s no shortage of receipts to back their side of the story. They claim that Lively’s team sent “grossly edited documents” to The New York Times in a calculated move to attack Baldoni before even filing the complaint. As Freedman puts it, the situation reeks of irony, with Lively’s camp using the media to launch their own offensive.
For now, the battle rages on, with both sides digging in their heels. And as Blake Lively continues to weather this storm, let’s just hope that when all is said and done, the truth will shine through, and those who wield power with impunity will be held accountable.
