Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman allegedly witnessed Ryan Reynolds berate Justin Baldoni for “fat shaming” Blake Lively, according to newly unsealed court docs in Lively and Baldoni’s ongoing court battle.
Baldoni went to Lively and Reynolds’ New York City apartment on April 25, 2023, per the docs obtained by People. Once there, the Canadian actor allegedly “unloaded” on Baldoni, telling him that it was “horrible” to ask about a woman’s weight.
Reynolds, 49, and Lively, 38, allegedly accused the “Jane the Virgin” alum of “fat shaming” Lively, and Baldoni, 41, was “completely embarrassed” and apologized while shedding tears.
Swift, 35, and Jackman, 57, were in the apartment during the incident, according to the docs.

The allegation comes from a timeline of events sent from Wayfarer Studios co-founder Jamey Heath’s team to Baldoni’s publicist over email in July 2024, People reports.
Reps for Swift and Jackman did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
TMZ previously reported that Swift went to Lively’s apartment at the time the actress told her to, allegedly not knowing that anyone — including Baldoni — would be there.
An insider told the outlet that Swift believed Lively manipulated the timing of the meeting with Baldoni so that Swift would arrive before he left, and that the singer didn’t say anything to Baldoni except that she was excited to see “It Ends With Us.”
Baldoni claimed in his now-dismissed $400 million countersuit against his co-star and Reynolds that Lively weaponized her friendship with Swift. He also alleged that text messages were released with Lively referring to Reynolds and Swift as her “dragons.”
“The message could not have been clearer,” the lawsuit read. “Baldoni was not just dealing with Lively. He was also facing Lively’s ‘dragons,’ two of the most influential and wealthy celebrities in the world, who were not afraid to make things very difficult for him.”
Baldoni also claimed in his complaint that when he was invited to Lively and Reynolds’ New York penthouse, a “famously close” friend was also present.
