Their lawsuit is (mostly) settled (they are still fighting over attorney fees)<\/p>\n
The Hollywood Reporter spoked to some Hollywood execs on where these two can go next<\/p>\n
– both will have a hard time working in Hollywood again<\/p>\n– \u201cWho wants to work with people that go this far?\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
– Lively should take a break <\/p>\n
– she should play a villain<\/p>\n
– Baldoni is now being seen as running an unsafe set as a director<\/p>\n
– he could go back to acting on tv<\/p>\n
– Baldoni has the backing of billionaire Steve Sarowitz, he can just self finance projects<\/p>\n
– Ryan Reynolds reputation has also taken a hit, his action movie Mayday release date is getting delayed and delayed again by Apple<\/p>\n
the execs are aware of the gender optics here:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t ever hear Amber\u2019s name, It\u2019s easier for men.\u201d<\/i> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
