Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman To Skip Golden Globes 2025 Amid Justin Baldoni’s Sexual Harassment Lawsuit – Reports
The stars of Deadpool & Wolverine, the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are not expected to attend the upcoming Golden Globe Awards 2025 as per a Deadline report. Actress and wife of Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively will also reportedly not be attending the award show. She was the star and producer of the film It Ends With Us, a Netflix summer romantic drama which grossed USD 351 million worldwide this year. She also made a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine. ‘It Ends With Us’ Star Justin Baldoni’s Legal Team Presents Private Chats Between Blake Lively and Him Amid USD 250 Million Lawsuit.
Reynolds, Lively and Jackman’s decision to not attend Golden Globes was reportedly made well in advance of the It Ends With Us legal firestorm in which Lively is suing her co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, and his team for sexual harassment in federal court in New York. The lawsuit by Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over ‘sexual harassment’ and other claims is a hot topic in the entertainment industry right now.
Comedian Nikki Glaser who is set to host the Golden Globes has decided to steer clear from joking about the It Ends With Us behind-the-scenes this year. “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,” the comedian told Yahoo Entertainment. “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.” said Nikki Glaser as quoted by Deadline.
