Ryan Reynolds is facing online scrutiny after a public fan interaction in New York led to accusations that the moment was staged. The Deadpool star was spotted signing autographs, but social media users quickly questioned the authenticity of the encounter.
According to Hollywood News, fans noticed that everyone in the video seemingly had identical merchandise and blue-taped cardboard for signatures, sparking speculation that the event was carefully orchestrated. Some even joked that Reynolds hired actors to boost his image amid the ongoing legal battle involving his wife, Blake Lively, and her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni.
To make matters worse, as Reynolds left the scene, one person was heard shouting, "Justin is better," adding fuel to the controversy.
This comes just as Reynolds and Lively notified a federal judge of their intent to seek the dismissal of Baldoni’s defamation lawsuit against them. The lawsuit stems from Lively’s December 2024 allegations accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and defamation, which led to a $400 million countersuit from Baldoni.
With the legal showdown set to begin in March, fans are debating whether Reynolds' NYC outing was a genuine moment or a strategic PR move. What do you think? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
