Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are knee-deep in a heated legal battle over their film It Ends With Us. And if anything, it is only serving up more juicy tidbits, keeping the world hooked on its daily fix of entertainment gossip. But not everyone caught up in this feud is here just for the drama—some are actively weighing in, picking sides, and dissecting who is in the right and who is not. One such commentator on the Blake Lively–Justin Baldoni saga has once again thrown in their two cents.

Joe Rogan, MMA commentator, did not hold back as he weighed in on the explosive legal drama, calling out Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for their supposed tactics.

During a recent The Joe Rogan Experience episode with Brendan Schaub, Joe Rogan did not mince words. “They f---ed up,” he declared, criticizing Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for underestimating Justin Baldoni’s resolve. The podcaster highlighted Baldoni’s decision to release private text exchanges, including one where Lively invited him into her trailer while “pumping”- a detail that contradicted her later claims. “You literally have a text exchange back and forth,” Rogan emphasized, arguing the evidence exposed the couple’s reliance on Hollywood clout.

Rogan doubled down on his support, praising Baldoni for dropping "receipts” that others in the industry would fear to disclose. Comedian Schaub urged Baldoni to go "hard in the paint”, warning that half-measures would not salvage his reputation. The podcast host also backed Baldoni’s suit against The New York Times, calling it a “great case” that could redefine media accountability.

Bryan Freedman, Justin Baldoni’s attorney, blasted Ryan Reynolds for seeking dismissal from the suit, claiming the actor played a central role in damaging Baldoni’s career.

Reynolds now seeks to "run from the flames” Freedman stated, dismissing the Deadpool star's attempts to downplay the claims as trivial. One producer has criticized Reynolds for being overly sensitive and reckless in the ego clash surrounding this case, suggesting that his actions may have exacerbated the situation.
