Did Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Sneak A Ruthless Roast of Justin Baldoni Into 'Deadpool & Wolverine'?

With all the tabloid-worthy drama revolving around the beef between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, has anyone even bothered to ask the It Ends with Us director and star if he identifies as a feminist?
Right now, every gossip writer in Hollywood is furiously poring through the many passive-aggressive public statements and legal motions put forth by the massive teams of both Lively and Baldoni ever since Lively lit the fire of the feud by filing a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department that claimed Baldoni harassed her by “entering her makeup trailer uninvited while she was undressed,” body shamed her and pushed her to lose weight just four months after she gave birth and orchestrated a PR campaign that was “designed to ‘destroy’ Ms. Lively’s reputation.”
Deadpool and Wolverine had a less dysfunctional relationship than the two leads of It Ends with Us, and they tried to kill each other in a Honda Odyssey.

But long before Baldoni’s alleged on-set abuse and counter-accusations against Lively bought the editor in chief of TMZ a new house, Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds may have hilariously hinted about the actor and director’s bad behavior by parodying him with a character in Deadpool & Wolverine. I just knew Alioth was a Colleen Hoover fan!
To be clear, it isn’t just Baldoni’s most obsessive online defender calling out the parallels between Nicepool and Baldoni — his lawyer is doing it, too. Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman appeared on The Megyn Kelly Show to tell the former Fox News host who knows a thing or two about workplace sexual harassment how he defines misogynistic behavior while criticizing Lively and Reynolds for daring to allegedly make fun of his client’s haircut.
“What I make of that, is that if your wife is sexually harassed, you don’t make fun of Justin Baldoni,” Freedman told Kelly of the alleged parody of his client, adding of the Deadpool & Wolverine character, “There’s no question it relates to Justin. I mean, anybody that watched that hair bun — if somebody is seriously sexually harassed, you don’t make fun of it. It’s a serious issue.”
I’m not sure where Freedman gets off telling the alleged victim of harassment and her husband that they’re not allowed to process the abuse through humor, but I’m sure that Freedman didn’t watch the rest of Deadpool & Wolverine. If he thinks that a man bun is off-limits when it comes to comedy, he’s going to lose his combover when he hears what Deadpool says about “Scoutmaster Kevin.”
With so many lawyers and PR professionals involved in the public feud, Lively v. Baldoni will only get messier the more his side of the war digs into Deadpool & Wolverine for every offending folicle. I just hope Dogpool’s name stays clean through all this.
