A public outing during such an affair is not the type to go unnoticed. This Tuesday, January 7, Ryan Reynolds came to present the National Board of Review Awards gala at Cipriani in New York. Very elegant to take on this responsibility, the actor was able to count on the presence of several celebrities such as Ariana Grande, Michelle Yeoh, Cynthia Erivo and Ethan Slater to pose with him on the photocall.
On the other hand, the one who was conspicuous by her absence is Blake Lively, the wife of Ryan Reynolds. In full disagreement with her former on-screen partner Justin Baldoni in the film “It Ends with Us”, the actress and producer filed a complaint against the latter on December 20, accusing him of sexual harassment as well as being the initiator of a defamation campaign against him on social networks.

The Silence of Ryan Reynolds
So far, Ryan Reynolds has not spoken out about the affair and this is his first appearance since it was made public by the American tabloids. Usually very close to his beloved Blake Lively, his silence may seem surprising. It is, however, possible that the matter is serious enough for the actress’s lawyers to have given the couple some instructions for discretion.

For his part, Justin Baldoni went to war against the media who relay Blake Lively’s allegations. Bryan Freedman, the actor’s lawyer, called the accusations “false and scandalous.” He then declared that he was suing the “New York Times” for its article on the affair, demanding $250 million from the American newspaper at the same time.
