Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ Stark Warning Sparks Hollywood Panic Over Explosive Celebrity Texts Leak
Sony did not release the statement Reynolds had drafted.
The newly revealed messages also drew attention to earlier private conversations involving senior Sony executives
According to the report, messages released in January 2026 showed executives criticizing Lively’s decisions during the film’s promotion.
Sanford Panitch, president of Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group, reportedly wrote, “She did it to herself.”
He was discussing the controversy surrounding Lively’s reported insistence that Baldoni be excluded from the film’s New York premiere until she had cleared the press line.
Panitch also criticized the timing of Lively’s haircare launch, calling it “epic level stupid” and adding, “She wouldn’t listen. She knows better.”
Tahra Grant, Sony Pictures Entertainment’s executive vice president and chief communications officer, reportedly accused Lively of handling the situation poorly.
“She orchestrated all this drama in a totally unsavvy and amateur way (and basically threatened…Sony) and now is mad it backfired on her,” Grant wrote.
In a deposition taken by Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, Sony executive Ange Giannetti also reportedly admitted to calling Lively a “f***ing te**orist.”
These private remarks offer a different picture from the public support Lively received during the film’s promotional campaign.
Reynolds’ messages have prompted conflicting interpretations from people familiar with the dispute
A source close to the actor told the Daily Mail that Reynolds believed his wife was being targeted by a crisis PR team allegedly hired by Baldoni.
“It is no secret that Ryan believed his wife was being targeted by a crisis PR team hired by Baldoni,” the source said.
The insider also referred to allegations involving the PR firm in other legal disputes.
However, another source challenged Reynolds’ position, arguing the team had been involved for only six days when the backlash was already underway.
“How could it have orchestrated a backlash that predated its involvement? Even a movie star cannot rewrite the timeline,” the source said.
The source added, “Demanding that a studio repeat an accusation does not make it true, no matter how famous you are.”
Despite the negative attention, industry insiders quoted in the report did not suggest that Lively and Reynolds had lost every supporter or that their careers were over
One entertainment insider said that a major success could quickly change how Hollywood views them.
“Give Ryan another Deadpool-sized blockbuster or Blake a major hit and watch what happens,” the source said. “The executives who are nervous today will be fighting to have dinner with them tomorrow.”
Another industry figure argued that the couple needed to deliver a commercial success more than anything else.
“They don’t necessarily need to win back every former friend, silence every critic or convince everyone they behaved perfectly. They need to deliver the one thing Hollywood values above everything else. A hit,” the source said.
“The only person more insufferable than her is him,” wrote one netizen
