Blake Lively backs out of Golden Globes amid Justin Baldoni scandal
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman will also miss prestigious event alongside Blake Lively
It Ends With Us actress will reportedly skip this year’s Golden Globe Awards.
As confirmed by the Deadline, Blake Lively will be missing a prestigious event amid a legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
Alongside Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and his Deadpool co-star Hugh Jackman will also not attend the event.
However, an inside source has shared with the outlet the trio’s decision to miss the event was taken “well in advance” of Lively’s complaint.
The actress filed a complaint against her It Ends with Us co-star in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment.
Baldoni’s lawyer has denied the allegations, and the actor filed a 250 million dollars lawsuit against The New York Times after the publication covered Lively’s complaint.
Additionally, Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser recently revealed that she would not make any jokes or references about Lively’s legal battle with Baldoni during the ceremony, due to its sensitive nature.
Speaking with Yahoo! Entertainment she said, “I think the Blake Lively–Justin Baldoni thing is such a hot-button thing right now that even a mere mention of it will seem like I could be on the wrong side of things, even though I would never be.”
“I also don’t want to give his name any — I’m mad I even know his name, to be honest with you, so I don’t need to say it anymore,” Glaser added further.
