New York, New York - Ryan Reynolds has doubled down on Justin Baldoni being a "predator" in his request for the It Ends With Us star's defamation lawsuit to be dropped!

Per Variety, the Green Lantern actor has filed a motion to dismiss Baldoni's lawsuit against him and his wife, Blake Lively, because the director cannot sue him over "hurt feelings."

In a passage from Reynolds' dismissal that was filed on Tuesday at the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, the Marvel star says that Baldoni's "thin-skinned outrage over a movie character, the satirical 'woke' Nicepool, does not even pretend to be tied to any actual legal claims."

After Lively sued her co-star for sexual harassment and an alleged smear campaign, Baldoni hit the spouses with a $400 million defamation suit and claimed that Reynolds bullied him with the Deadpool & Wolverine character "Nicepool."

Reynolds' motion doesn't deny that "Nicepool" is based on Baldoni, yet the Deadpool star argues that he was offering his "unabashed negative opinion of Mr. Baldoni's character."

It continues, "Mr. Reynolds has a First Amendment right to hold Mr. Baldoni, or any man who Mr. Reynolds believes sexually harassed his wife, in 'deep disdain.'"

The messy legal battle stemming from Lively and Baldoni's romance-drama has intensified recently, with Reynolds' friend, Hugh Jackman, and Lively's A-list bestie, Taylor Swift, both getting caught in the crosshairs.
