Wed Mar 26 20:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Rogan Weighs In on Lively-Reynolds-Baldoni Feud: “They F—ed Up”
**Los Angeles, CA** – Joe Rogan has added his voice to the escalating legal battle between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and director Justin Baldoni. During a recent episode of his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan criticized the A-list couple, stating they “ruined their reputation” by suing Baldoni.
The feud stems from Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit against Lively, Reynolds, and their publicist, Leslie Sloane. Baldoni alleges defamation, extortion, and other offenses, claiming Lively’s sexual harassment accusations are a retaliatory attempt to seize control of the film. He has released a substantial amount of evidence, including text messages and behind-the-scenes footage, to support his claims.
Rogan, referencing Baldoni’s evidence, expressed disbelief that Lively and Reynolds seemingly underestimated Baldoni’s willingness to publicly release this information. He sided with Baldoni’s decision to fight back aggressively in court, suggesting many in Hollywood would be too intimidated to confront a powerful couple like Lively and Reynolds.
Lively maintains her accusations of harassment and contends that Baldoni’s countersuit is a smear campaign. Her lawyers recently attempted to have the countersuit dismissed, citing a California law protecting those who speak out about sexual harassment. However, Baldoni’s legal team argued that the law shouldn’t be used to shield privileged individuals from legitimate counterclaims.
A trial date is set for March 2026. Representatives for Lively, Reynolds, and Rogan have yet to comment on Rogan’s podcast remarks. The case continues to unfold, with significant implications for both the individuals involved and the broader dynamics of power and accountability in Hollywood.
