As Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds contend with the fallout of Livelyâs lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni, itâs looking unlikely the pair will make an appearance at this yearâs Golden Globes.
Neither has attended the awards ceremony since 2017âand since It Ends With Us was snubbed and Reynolds himself is only nominated as a producer for Deadpool vs. Wolverine in the Cinematic and Box Office category (as opposed to Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical nomination as some prognosticators expected), there doesnât seem to be much reason for them to break their eight-year tradition of not attending.
The Daily Beast reached out to representatives for Lively and Reynolds and did not receive responses before publication.

Baldoni filed a lawsuit this week against the New York Times for amplifying Livelyâs claims against him in her lawsuit from earlier this month, offering several key defenses for several of her claims and implicating Reynolds for âberatingâ him during the It Ends With Us production. A source told TMZ Friday that though Reynolds was âpassionate,â he didnât berate Baldoni, though heâd been told by Lively that Baldoni âfat shamedâ her.
Even before Baldoniâs own retaliatory accusations emerged in the Times lawsuit this week, Reynolds hinted that the ordeal had soured his mood, when he posted to social media about going through âa time I didnât really feel likeâ donning his Deadpool suit for charity.
Baldoni isnât likely in the mood to strap on a tux and attend an awards show either, as the backlash from Livelyâs suit rocks his own career, resulting in being dropped from his agency, the loss of his self-created brand as an advocate for women, and the industryâs reactions to his depiction as a sexual harasser in the lawsuit.

If any of them did show up, however, they wouldnât have to be concerned about jokes referencing their feud. Comedian Nikki Glaser, whoâs hosting the Globes this year, told Yahoo! Entertainment that the lawsuitsâ allegations are off-limits.
âI think the Blake LivelyâJustin Baldoni thing is such a hot-button thing right now that even a mere mention of it will seem like I could be on the wrong side of things, even though I would never be,â Glaser said Friday. âI also donât want to give his name anyâIâm mad I even know his name, to be honest with you, so I donât need to say it anymore.â
