Hugh Jackman Dragged into It Ends With Us Legal Drama

Hugh Jackman is the latest name to get sucked into co-stars’ Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s ongoing legal feud.

As The Daily Mail states, the X-Men star, 56, 'will be deposed' about Deadpool & Wolverine co-star and Lively's husband Ryan Reynolds' conduct during the making of the contentious 2024 film.

"As Ryan’s good friend, who...was with Blake and Ryan many times in private during that time, his deposition will likely be crucial" an insider told the outlet on Thursday.

Witnesses are questioned under oath during depositions, which are an integral part of the pre-trial discovery process.

Lively, 37, filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December, accusing him of sexual harassment and creating a "hostile work environment on set," with Baldoni, 41, returning serve with his own US $400million filing against the actress and Reynolds in January.

All parties have denied the claims.

Jackman is expected to help give "a full scope of Ryan's conduct during the time that It Ends With Us was filmed".

Filming for their movie "Deadpool & Wolverine" began in May 2023, around the same time that "It Ends With Us" was in production.

Jackman also helped to promote "It Ends With Us" by attending the movie's New York City premiere with his pal Reynolds and was present when "not-so-subtle disses" about Baldoni allegedly took place on the set of "Deadpool & Wolverine".

Baldoni's lawsuit alleges Lively and Reynolds hijacked both the production and marketing of "It Ends With Us", and manipulated media to smear Baldoni and others on the production with false allegations of harassment.

The lawsuit also claims Lively used Baldoni as a scapegoat for her "publicly tainted image" and leveraged "her power as a wealthy celebrity to take creative control of the film".

Responding to the filing at the time, Lively's lawyers, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips and Willkie Farr & Gallagher, accused Baldoni and his team of using a DARVO tactic, which stands for "deny, attack, reverse victim and offender".

Their statement said: "This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim. This is what experts call DARVO."
