Ryan Reynolds is reported to have sent furious private text messages to a talent agent, urging Sony to defend Blake Lively amid backlash over her promotion for “It Ends With Us.” According to accounts of the messages published by multiple outlets, Reynolds challenged the studio’s response and demanded action on his wife’s behalf.
The reports say the texts were disclosed by entertainment page outlets, and that they also include commentary attributed to studio personnel regarding Lively’s behavior during the promotional period. While the outlets differ in wording and characterization—one frames it as an attempt to “save” her reputation, another emphasizes internal studio opinions—they all describe Reynolds using private messages to pressure Sony to take a stronger stance.
Across the coverage, the common elements are the existence of the text exchange, Reynolds’ frustration about Sony’s handling of the controversy, and the link to the “It Ends With Us” marketing campaign involving Lively. The outlets do not present additional verified details of the underlying dispute beyond the descriptions of the messages.
