Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively may have built a reputation as Hollywood’s golden couple, but recent allegations suggest that behind the scenes, things might not be as perfect as they appear. Several actors and industry insiders are finally coming forward to reveal what it was really like working with the power couple, shedding light on some shocking truths.

Actors SPEAKS OUT On How They Were Treated By Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds..

One of the biggest revelations involves Robert Downey Jr., who, after a five-year break, is returning to Marvel. However, before making his comeback, he reportedly turned down an offer from Ryan Reynolds to make a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine. According to sources, RDJ rejected the opportunity outright, seeing through Reynolds’ alleged self-serving approach to filmmaking. Variety reported that Deadpool & Wolverine co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick confirmed that a scene was specifically written for RDJ, but the actor declined without hesitation. Many believe this decision was influenced by Reynolds’ reputation behind the scenes.

RDJ wasn’t the only one who walked away. The original Deadpool director, Tim Miller, also exited due to creative differences with Reynolds. Hollywood insiders claim that Reynolds took over creative decisions on set, making it an unbearable work environment for others. The toxicity seemed to extend beyond actors and directors, as even Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld has vowed to sever ties with Marvel, citing mistreatment. Variety reported that Liefeld and his family were not even invited to the afterparty for Deadpool & Wolverine, a shocking move considering his foundational role in creating the character.

Marina Baccarin, who played Vanessa in Deadpool, has also spoken out about her experience. She was noticeably sidelined in Deadpool 2 and later revealed that she was hardly on set during filming. Baccarin expressed disappointment, stating in a podcast interview with The Playlist that the dynamic of the franchise had changed dramatically, with the studio taking full control in a way that was vastly different from the first film’s more independent and collaborative feel.

This pattern of sidelining and exclusion extends beyond Reynolds himself. Reports have surfaced that Blake Lively played a role in the downfall of actor and director Justin Baldoni. Allegedly, Reynolds used his influence to get Baldoni dropped from his agency after Lively filed complaints against him. This raises serious questions about the couple’s behind-the-scenes power moves and their impact on others in the industry.

Even Hollywood legend Martha Stewart has weighed in, hinting that Reynolds is not the charming, funny guy the public believes him to be. While her comments may have seemed like mere shade, many believe she was subtly exposing the actor’s controlling nature.

These accounts paint a picture of a Hollywood power couple who may have leveraged their influence in ways that have hurt others. As more industry professionals come forward, the truth about Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ behind-the-scenes behavior continues to unravel. Whether this will have lasting consequences for their careers remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Hollywood is starting to take notice.
