She claims he asked her personal trainer, Dan Saladino, about her weight, a question Saladino later relayed to her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In deposition testimony, Saladino said the inquiry made him feel \u201cuncomfortable,\u201d prompting him to inform Lively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Baldoni, however, maintains he was concerned about safely lifting her during a scene due to his own back problems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Lively\u2019s complaint alleges Baldoni \u201croutinely degraded\u201d her by finding \u201cback channel ways of criticizing her body and weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She said she felt \u201chumiliated\u201d after learning of the alleged remarks, including a claim that he wanted her to \u201close weight in two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The complaint adds, \u201cMr. Baldoni told the trainer that he had asked because he was concerned about having to pick Ms. Lively up in a scene for the movie, but there was no such scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Reynolds And The Fallout Behind Closed Doors<img alt=\"Ryan Reynolds in a suit\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/524ae250d165ba0d61702733b3a1c506.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>KCS Presse \/ MEGA<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The alleged fat shaming reportedly struck a nerve with Ryan Reynolds, according to legal filings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">During a January 2024 meeting at the couple\u2019s home, Reynolds was described as \u201cenraged\u201d during what Baldoni characterized as a \u201ctraumatic encounter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Court documents state that Reynolds demanded an apology, and when Baldoni \u201cresisted apologizing for what he had not done, Reynolds became further enraged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Baldoni\u2019s lawyers later claimed he had \u201cnever been spoken to like that in his life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The dispute escalated as Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation through a smear campaign, claims he has denied.
