This article is weird because it lumps clueless at best and most likely racist behavior on Blake's part with tangentially tying Ryan to the death of a black woman on one of his sets. I think the article is written to somehow imply that race was an issue in that case, but doesn't even suggest that and doesn't suggest that Ryan had anything at all to do with what happened. The only tie is that he was making the movie and while his production company wasn't actually even a defendant in her family's suit, the suit settled after they threatened to add a large number of parties including that production company. I actually think it's incredibly sloppy journalism to equate that to Blake's Antebellum racist nightmare and it makes me think the author had an agenda... making me question whether the Snipes and Johnson anecdotes have anything to do with race (which it's really not clear that they do even by the article's terms).

Ultimately, I am uncomfortable by the work the article does to paint badmouth Reynolds and suspect it is likely a hit piece of the type Stephanie Jones has been behind and the article criticizes.

Disagree that it is sloppy journalism. There is a pattern here. Blake might have acted the same way had JH been white, but the optics are that a black man pulled out his phone to show her something, and she immediately thought it was p-rn. and not only that she let people think that for two weeks in between when the New York Times article ran and when Justin Baldoni’s team got their website up and showed he wasn’t showing her p-rn at work - he was showing her his wife’s birth video in the context of a discussion of a birth scene in the movie. Combine that with the fact that this woman had a lifestyle brand celebrating the antebellum south, and pictures of her wedding meal set up, literally in front of what are very obvious slave quarters.

I actually do think it’s telling that the woman who died on Deadpool was a Black woman. The stunt was supposed to be performed a different way and at the last minute, they changed their mind and let it go without safety precautions. Now clearly no one wanted her to die and it was a tragic accident, but her family had every right to ask for a settlement given the mistakes that were made and the fact that they had to threaten to go public to get the settlement is appalling and inhumane.

Ryan is Deadpool. I don’t just mean it’s his character. It was his set. He has a huge leadership role in that franchise. He, and the people he surrounded himself with to make this franchise, completely disregarded this woman and her family and it’s gross.

I don’t think these things are just random coincidences. These are thoughtless people who sail through life with an incredible disregard for others.

This is stupid, sorry. Lively didn't mistake the picture of Heath's naked wife for porn because Heath is black. She mistook them for porn because Heath showed them to her with no explanation and the pic was of a woman with no clothes on and her legs spread apart, which seems like a sexual situation.

Here's a tip: Don't show your co-workers pictures of naked women -- whether it's a porn situation or a birth situation -- without their express permission and some sort of clear warning. THE. END. It's not that hard, guys, even though you keep trying to make Lively seem overreactive or emotional or now racist because the guy showing her the naked pic was black. NO. SHE MISTOOK IT FOR PORN BECAUSE THE WOMAN WAS NAKED AND HAD HER LEGS SPREAD APART. So don't do that. Don't be a dick.

I agree with the PP that it’s intentionally misleading journalism.

It’s hard to justify the blatant disregard for the family.

The blatant disregard for the family meaning the main producer’s insurance not being willing to settle immediately? That’s completely par for the course. They eventually settled’ It also wasn’t even Ryan’s production company that was sued, so remind me why that’s evidence that he’s racist? Racism is a strong allegation to throw around and I really think this one is a crazy stretch that suggests folks have a specific agenda.

And again, I do think there’s evidence that Blake is racist and I have no problem saying that Ryan’s wedding is suggestive of racism… but most of the Ryan allegations in the essay are fishing at best and intentionally misleading at worst. The Denzel Washington stuff is very recently all over YT despite the events happening more than 10 years ago, which makes me think that anecdote is being spread by bots somehow… because why are people currently talking about it. Especially when reviewing the Washington clip makes it clear he was being sarcastic/funny in the described incident. It just all reads as very much an intentional smear job.

That was funny. Ain't nobody got time for that.

It's so disturbing to me that Blake supporters try to claim Justin is a racist based on some non-sexual harassment-related suit a Black woman filed against Wayfarer (Wayfarer, not Justin specifically), but a Black woman literally dies on the set of Deadpool and it's NBD to them.
