Ryan Reynolds is TOAST — This Could Cost Blake EVERYTHING !!

Ryan Reynolds Caught in the Middle: How a Sham Lawsuit, Secret Subpoenas, and Blake Lively’s Vodka Ad Could Cost Them Everything

In the ever-deepening saga surrounding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s legal war, one name has suddenly been thrown into the center of the storm—Ryan Reynolds. The beloved actor known for his sarcastic charm and Deadpool smirks is no longer just the supportive husband cheering from the sidelines. According to a shocking new development uncovered by entertainment reporter Sash Flo, Reynolds may be much more deeply entangled in the alleged smear campaign against Baldoni than previously believed.

Let’s rewind. For months, fans and insiders have been following the back-and-forth legal battle between Lively and Baldoni—a saga involving emotional distress claims, blackmail accusations, and leaked phone data. The most damning allegation? That Lively’s team used a sham company, Vanzan Inc., to obtain a subpoena and access private phone data from Jennifer Abel—Baldoni’s former associate.

Until recently, Ryan Reynolds had been painted as a passive participant in the drama. Even a judge commented that Reynolds was merely “acting like a supportive spouse,” not actively involved in any defamatory actions. But now, that carefully constructed narrative has been shattered.

On July 2nd, YouTuber Katie Joy of Without a Crystal Ball dropped a bombshell: Reynolds is listed as the CEO of Vanzan Inc.—the very shell company at the heart of the sham subpoena scandal. Vanzan, which hadn’t updated any of its required corporate filings since 2019, was quietly updated earlier this year…and Reynolds’ name suddenly appeared on the paperwork. Allegedly, he backdated the update to make it appear as though he had always been involved—raising even more red flags.

This revelation changes everything.

Now, Reynolds isn’t just a bystander or a dutiful husband. He’s potentially a direct participant in what may be a calculated legal maneuver to retrieve evidence from a third party and hand it over to Lively’s team. That evidence, critics argue, was used to torpedo Baldoni’s reputation and career—he was dropped by WME shortly after.

The deeper implication? If Reynolds acted as an agent—not just a spouse—for Lively, he may have invalidated his own spousal privilege. This opens him up to potential legal liability, and it could pave the way for Baldoni to relaunch his defamation case with fresh ammunition. And this time, Reynolds could be front and center in the lawsuit.

But while Reynolds is being dragged into the legal trenches, Blake Lively is doing what she always does when things get messy: launching a product.

This time, it’s another round of her alcohol brand Betty Booze. The new vodka iced tea flavor dropped this week, complete with a cheeky commercial co-starring Susanna “Dorota” Szadkowski from Gossip Girl. In the ad, Szadkowski (who played Lively’s on-screen maid) offers Blake some “tea,” only to reveal it’s actually gossip… and vodka. Lively doesn’t drink it, of course—she never does—but she’s all too happy to push it on her old castmate.

This tactic is becoming a pattern. As Sash Flo points out, every time Lively is under fire, a new product magically appears. During the Taylor Swift blackmailing scandal? Hair mist launch. After withdrawing emotional distress claims? Betty Booze again. Now, as the VanZan shell company story unravels, we get vodka iced tea and a commercial playing on nostalgia and damage control.

But here’s where it gets even stranger: Lively is now listed on a celebrity speakers’ website, commanding $200,000+ for an in-person event. For a virtual appearance? A cool $100,000. That’s not unusual for A-listers, but the kicker? One of the promo videos listed under her name is actually the viral interview that made Sash Flo want to quit her job—featuring Lively allegedly bullying the reporter. It’s not just tone-deaf; it’s a PR disaster waiting to happen.

And yet, while Lively plays glam businesswoman, Sash Flo’s followers have been digging deeper. One tipster sent in screenshots showing that many of Lively’s Instagram followers are clearly bots—zero posts, private accounts, and generic bios. Her engagement has plummeted too. Where she once scored over a million likes per post, recent uploads are languishing under 100,000 likes with just a dozen or so comments. Authentic fans? Or paid-for perception?

Then there’s the Justin Baldoni fallout. After everything, the man at the center of the smear still managed a rare moment of peace—he was spotted smiling with his family at Disneyland this week. A hopeful image amidst the chaos. But this is far from over.

The VanZan sham lawsuit is now confirmed to have been filed solely to obtain the subpoena and retrieve sensitive data. Blake’s legal team has essentially admitted as much. And if Ryan Reynolds retroactively signed off as CEO to “clean up” the company’s record after the subpoena, that doesn’t just smell fishy—it smells strategic, manipulative, and potentially unlawful.

Let’s not forget: VanZan had no good legal standing when it filed the subpoena. It hadn’t filed required reports, hadn’t maintained its state registration, and lacked any listed officers until Reynolds’ suspicious “fix.” If that subpoena is found to be invalid, then all downstream evidence could be inadmissible—including the data Blake Lively allegedly used to justify her lawsuit and get Baldoni dropped by his agency.

In legal terms, that’s what’s known as “fruit of the poisonous tree.” If evidence is gathered through unlawful means, anything that results from it is also tainted.

So where do we go from here?

Justin Baldoni may now have the proof he needs to appeal his dismissed defamation case—and possibly even add Ryan Reynolds as a named defendant. With Reynolds now tied to the company that orchestrated the subpoena, it’s no longer a question of “Did he know?” It’s “Why was he involved?”

This isn’t just about celebrity drama anymore. It’s about the use of shell companies, weaponized subpoenas, and the manipulation of the legal system to destroy reputations—all while pretending to sell you a refreshing glass of vodka iced tea.

If Reynolds and Lively believed they could control the narrative with money, nostalgia, and sponsored cocktails, they may have underestimated the public’s appetite for truth. And as more people dig into the VanZan timeline and more legal experts weigh in, the question isn’t if their empire of spin will collapse—but when.

Because Ryan Reynolds isn’t just the husband in the background anymore. He’s toast.
