Ryan Reynolds

Justin Baldoni and his companies included Reynolds in a $400 million action against Blake Lively, Reynolds and others, alleging defamation and extortion, among other claims, arising from the It Ends With Us dispute.

Documents obtained through freedom of information requests raised questions about a £3.8 million public grant awarded to Wrexham AFC before completion of a contract and comprehensive state aid assessment. The club received a total of £18 million in non-repayable stadium grants, an unusual level in British football.

Wrexham AFC acknowledged completing most redevelopment work at Colliers Park before securing full planning permission, while a retrospective application remained under consideration. Local councillors publicly criticised the club for failing to follow the procedure.

State of the evidence

Admitted by the person

Reynolds and Blake Lively married in 2012 at Boone Hall in South Carolina, a site historically associated with slavery. The choice attracted strong criticism, particularly following renewed public debate about plantations used as celebration venues.

State of the evidence

Documented

Stuntwoman Joi Harris died during a motorcycle stunt on the Deadpool 2 set in Vancouver. The official WorkSafeBC investigation identified several failures by TCF Vancouver Productions, notably the absence of an adequate risk assessment and safety documentation.
