Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are truly living up to their ‘power couple’ status in Hollywood. The two are often seen having each other's backs- whether it is for a movie promotion or business venture. But this time, things have gotten personal. Lively’s public image has taken a serious hit following the It Ends With Us controversy. While the actress has had the support of her family and friends, including pop queen Taylor Swift, she still needs some serious damage control to cool things down. And Reynolds is stepping in for the save. 

Reynolds is going all out to defend his wife from the hate train, now that the controversy has tarnished the ‘It’ couple’s charm in Hollywood.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively might seem like a relatable, cutesy, and quirky couple, but they are a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. In fact, their dominance is so strong that no one in the industry dares to cross them, according to an insider's interview with Life & Style. The insider revealed that the Deadpool & Wolverine actor, "with his keen eye for branding and his ability to turn any situation into a winning moment," is masterminding Blake Lively’s comeback, as merely having her bestie's shoulders to lean on is not helping the backlash

Ryan Reynolds is working closely with Lively’s team, and with the couple’s "ruthlessness," they might just succeed in shifting America’s opinion of the Gossip Girl alum. This revelation also spells trouble for Justin Baldoni, as the insider bluntly stated, “anyone that tries to stand in their way is almost guaranteed to get steamrolled”. Fortunately, Baldoni has already taken precautions to brace for the storm.

Even though the majority seems to be siding with Justin Baldoni in the feud, the It Ends With Us director has taken all steps to avoid a Johnny Depp-like PR disaster. He has brought on PR crisis manager Melissa Nathan, known for her work during the high-profile Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial. Apart from that, Baldoni is constantly putting up helpline information on his social media, which has received mixed reactions. 

While some believe Baldoni genuinely cares about the issue, others feel he is trying too hard to prove his moral high ground in the feud. Swifties, in particular, have leaned into the latter view to support their fellow Swiftie, Blake Lively. But even though Baldoni probably has one of the best PR managers in the business, knowing Ryan Reynolds, it will not be long before he finds a way to get Lively out of this mess.
