Deadpool & Wolverine

Justin Baldoni's lawyer claims that one Deadpool & Wolverine character was created to mock the star as It Ends With Us legal battles between lead stars Blake Lively and Baldoni continue. In late December, Lively formally launched a lawsuit against Baldoni and others for sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign aimed at destroying her reputation. Meanwhile, Baldoni and his legal team are suing The New York Times for defamation. Lively starred as Ladypool in her husband, Ryan Reynold's Marvel feature.

Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freeman appeared on Megyn Kelly's show to discuss the legal battle, in which he addressed the rumor about Reynold's Nicepool being used to mock the star, as reported by Comic Book Movie. Freeman pointed out the "hair bun" and "the comment about the pregnancy" being an obvious reference to Baldoni. Check out what he said below:

What I make of that is that if your wife is sexually harassed, you don't make fun of Justin Baldoni. You don't make fun of the situation. You take it very seriously, you file HR complaints, you raise the issue and you follow a legal process. What you don't do is mock the person and turn it into a joke, but again, if somebody is seriously sexually harassed, you don't make fun of it. It's a serious issue.

More to come...
