Justin Baldoni’s Lawyer Claims Deadpool & Wolverine’s Nicepool Is Based on Actor
As the Blake Lively and legal saga continues, Baldoni’s lawyers are now claiming that the character Nicepool from Marvel Studios’ is based on him.
Speaking during an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman accused Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds of taking a shot at Baldoni via the character of Nicepool. In the film, Nicepool is introduced as a toxic nice guy, a man who is overtly nice despite being a character as morally grey as Deadpool.
“What I make of that, is that if your wife is sexually harassed, you don’t make fun of Justin Baldoni,” said Freedman on The Megyn Kelly Show. “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.”

Baldoni filed a lawsuit against Lively just ahead of the new year and alleges that Lively’s public relations team began pushing an “unverified and self-serving narrative” against Baldoni while using “cherry-picked and altered communications stripped of necessary context” to paint him in a bad light. The lawsuit sees Baldoni seeking at least $250 million while claiming fraud and breach of contract as well as libel.
“In this vicious smear campaign fully orchestrated by Blake Lively and her team, the New York Times cowered to the wants and whims of two powerful ‘untouchable’ Hollywood elites, disregarding journalistic practices and ethics once befitting of the revered publication by using doctored and manipulated texts and intentionally omitting texts which dispute their chosen PR narrative,” Bryan Freedman, a lawyer for Baldoni and his public relations team, said in a statement.
