Ryan Reynolds allegedly blocked Justin Baldoni on social media months before Blake Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against him.
Based on text message exchanges Page Six obtained, Baldoni, 40, noticed in May that Reynolds, 48, blocked him and his production company Wayfarer Studios on Instagram.
The alleged conversation also shows that he was worried Lively, 37, would follow suit.
“We should have a plan for IF she does the same when [the] movie comes out,” Baldoni allegedly texted his publicist. “Just want you guys to have a plan. Plans make me feel more at ease.”
It does not appear that Lively blocked her “It Ends With Us” co-star, as he still follows her on Instagram. She, however, does not follow him back.
Reynolds and Baldoni do not appear to follow one another.
Page Six has reached out to reps for Lively, Reynolds and Baldoni for comment.
Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment on Friday, months after their movie, “This Ends With Us,” debuted amid rumors of serious issues between the pair.
The actress’ complaint accuses Baldoni — who not only starred opposite her but directed the film — of disturbing behavior that allegedly caused her to feel so uncomfortable she set up an “all-hands” meeting during filming.
According to the complaint, which was obtained by Page Six Saturday, Lively set several expectations for Baldoni during the meeting, which included to stop showing her “nude videos or images of women” and to stop mentioning his past “porn addiction” and sexual experiences.
He was also allegedly asked to halt mentioning the “cast and crew’s genitalia” and to stop asking Lively about her “weight” and “dead father.”
Furthermore, the complaint alleges he was asked to refrain from adding more sex scenes and related content “outside the scope” of the pre-approved script.
In response to the complaint, Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios’ attorney, Bryan Freedman, told Page Six that the “Gossip Girl” alum’s “serious” allegations are “categorically false.”
“These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media,” he added.
Freedman also addressed past reports that Baldoni hired a crisis manager amid his and Lively’s feud, saying it was necessary to do so because Lively allegedly made “multiple demands” and threatened to not show up on set or promote the film if her “demands” were not met.
Lively told the New York Times, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”
Page Six reported in August that the “Jane the Virgin” star allegedly made Lively “uncomfortable” about her postpartum body and promoted an “extremely difficult” atmosphere on set, according to our insiders.
Our insider confirmed it was not just Lively who felt his way, explaining at the time that, “None of the cast enjoyed working with Justin …They certainly didn’t talk to him at the premiere.”
Fans will remember that Lively and Baldoni did not interact at the New York City premiere of “It Ends With Us.”
