Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds is facing intense scrutiny following a series of allegations made by X user Melanie King (@realmelanieking), which have sparked widespread controversy online. In a post dated March 23, 2025, King accused Reynolds of forcing his 7-year-old daughter to use “sexually vulgar language” in a Deadpool movie, claiming the child was coerced despite her discomfort. The post also alleges that the same film mocked and depicted the killing of actor Justin Baldoni, further fueling the fire. King called out Disney Studios and Marvel Studios, questioning how they could allow such actions to occur, labeling Reynolds a “psychopathic demon” who has been “protected and propped up” by Hollywood for too long.
This is sexually vulgar language Ryan Reynolds FORCED his 7 year old daughter to say in Deadpool against her will. The same movie they mocked and killed Justin Baldoni in. What the hell is wrong with @DisneyStudios and @MarvelStudios? How could you allow this to happen to a… pic.twitter.com/SahRTajxpn

The accusations come amid an ongoing legal battle between Reynolds, his wife Blake Lively, and Baldoni, who filed a $400 million lawsuit against the couple, accusing them of civil extortion, defamation, and more. According to court documents reported by Fox News on March 18, 2025, Reynolds allegedly called Baldoni a “predator” on two occasions, a claim his legal team is now fighting to dismiss. Baldoni’s lawsuit also accuses Reynolds of using the Deadpool & Wolverine character Nicepool to “bully” him, with his legal team demanding Disney retain related documents, as reported by E! Online on January 15, 2025.
Now Taylor Lorenz, who didn’t look at the evidence or case, continues to smear people covering the Blake Lively v Justin Baldoni case. Keep in mind she is supporting and holding water for parents that forced their 7 year old daughter to say “If I want your opinion I’ll take… pic.twitter.com/W3TWj1WVb2

King’s posts have continued to escalate the narrative. On March 24, 2025, at 19:36 UTC, she claimed that “Hollyweird is crumbling” and that “the truth always comes out,” hinting at further revelations. A third post later that day at 21:27 UTC doubled down, accusing Hollywood of enabling “monsters” like Reynolds. These statements have reignited discussions about the treatment of child actors in the film industry, a topic long plagued by controversy. A 2021 Guardian article highlighted the systemic issues faced by child stars, noting that while some directors strive for ethical practices, the industry often prioritizes commercial interests over the well-being of young performers.
So @DisneyStudios was happy for Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively’s 7- year-old daughter to be forced to say “If I want your opinion I’ll take Wolverine’s D*CK out your mouth”. But a similar line about Mickey Mouse was a bridge too far. It is reported this is the only “joke” they… pic.twitter.com/Xm5NJdKUdx

Neither Reynolds, Disney, nor Marvel Studios have issued a public response to King’s allegations as of March 24, 2025. However, the mounting public scrutiny, combined with the ongoing legal disputes, suggests that this saga could have lasting implications for Reynolds’ reputation, the Deadpool franchise, and Hollywood’s approach to child safety on set. The industry now faces renewed pressure to address these systemic concerns.
