The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama keeps getting worse by the day. While it started as a s*xual harassment lawsuit against theIt Ends with Usdirector, it has now stemmed into a larger controversy, with the chances of Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, being potentially canceled. While the reasons for these are many, Reynolds has particularly been receiving immense backlash for allegedly trying to make fun of Baldoni through his Marvel character.
While Reynolds has been accused of bashing at Baldoni and trying to defame him, according to Baldoni’s legal complaint, he has also been getting hate from fans for allegedly molding ‘Nicepool’ after Baldoni.
Ryan Reynolds allegedly tried to mock Justin Baldoni via Nicepool
Justin Baldonihas amended his lawsuit againstBlake LivelyandRyan Reynoldsand addednew claims about the two stars. According to his amended complaint, which can be found on hiswebsite, the actor has accused Reynolds of allegedly bullying him by hisDeadpool & Wolverinecharacter, Nicepool.
In the film, Nicepool is one of the variants of Deadpool and is depicted as the ‘nice’ guy. Having long hair and a man bun, many believe that a lot of Nicepool comments— likeI identify as a feministandMy calling is to one day start a podcast that monetizes the women’s movement— are a subtlebut obvious dig at Baldoni, who once had a man bun and has a podcast calledThe Man Enough Podcast.
‘A Simple Favor 2’ Going Straight to Streaming Has Nothing to Do With Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni Drama
In his complaint, Baldoni not only states that Nicepool is avicious caricature of a ‘woke’ feministbut is alsointended to be a transparent and mocking portrayal of Reynolds’ warped perception of Baldoni.Moreover, Baldoni’s lawyer has demanded Disney keep all documents related to the creation of Nicepool as a means to prove that Ryan Reynolds tried to mock him via that character, as per a litigation letter sent to Disney by Baldoni’s legal team (viaPage Six).
The reason why Justin Baldoni kept a ‘man bun’ for years
If there is one thing that the fans are convinced of, it is that Justin Baldoni might actually be the ‘good guy’ in his ongoing feud with Blake Lively. Many online have even termed him as the ‘green flag’ in a world full of red flags. One of the reasons for this is his decision to keep a man bun and grow out his hair for years.

TheJane the Virginstar grew out his hair for a good cause, to donate his hair to the Locks of Love charity. Locks of Love charity is an organization famous for making custom wigs for children who have lost their hair due to varied medical reasons including cancer.

Back in April 2023, in a since-deleted Instagram post, the actor shared a video of him sitting in a chair with his hair split into different sections, tied by rubber bands. Accompanied by his son and wife, he explained how he is donating his hair to people who are unable to grow their hair, as his son, Maxwell, helped chop off the hair. The now-deleted post can be seen viewed on Instagram user@kev2alksaccount.
Given the noble reason why Baldoni chose to grow out his hair and sport a man bun for quite a long period of time, Ryan Reynolds’ Nicepool jokes that are alleged to be critical of Baldoni sound a lot worse than before.
Deadpool & Wolverineis available to be streamed on Disney+.
