Ryan Reynolds' Podcast Appearance Deemed 'PR Stunt' Amidst Wife's Legal Drama

Ryan Reynolds is facing criticism after his recent appearance on Conan O'Brien's podcast, with listeners branding it a 'blatant PR stunt.' The actor, currently involved in his wife Blake Lively's legal battle with Justin Baldoni, appeared on 'Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend.' Reynolds discussed his early career and comedy regrets, but notably avoided mentioning his wife or the ongoing lawsuit. This omission drew the ire of many listeners, who felt the appearance was calculated and insincere. 'Ryan and Blake's PR team is working hella overtime these days huh? lol,' one user commented. Others described the appearance as forced and lacking genuine conversation, suggesting Reynolds was simply reciting pre-prepared jokes. The lawsuit between Lively and Baldoni is scheduled for trial on March 29, 2026.
