“Earlier today we moved for sanctions against the lawyers and parties responsible for the utterly frivolous claims brought against Ryan Reynolds,” Reynolds’ legal team said in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday, May 20. “Justin Baldoni’s lawyer and his clients filed a preposterous lawsuit falsely claiming that Ryan Reynolds extorted people he had never met, that he allegedly interfered with business relationships that do not exist, and somehow defamed people he never said a word about based on unspecified statements that do not appear anywhere in their 391-paragraph complaint. These are not serious claims—they are a desperate ploy for clickbait headlines that have no place in federal court.”
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Reynolds’ lawyers filed an amended complaint on Tuesday, after Baldoni and his team accused Reynolds of civil extortion, defamation, and tortious interference.
In the new filing, Reynolds’ lawyers filed a motion for sanctions and slammed the allegations, stating that the claims “do not and cannot exist.” Reynolds’s attorneys previously filed to dismiss Baldoni’s lawsuit back in March, however, the lawsuit is still ongoing.
Justin Baldoni Slams Ryan Reynolds for Being Blake Lively's 'Co-Conspirator'
“Mr. Reynolds provided the Rule 11 Plaintiffs and their counsel an opportunity to save face, explaining these claims’ glaring and fundamental defects and urging that they be withdrawn more than 21 days ago,” the docs read. “Unfortunately, the Rule 11 Plaintiffs and their counsel unequivocally refused to do so, offering no response on these defects except to argue that these issues are appropriately resolved by motion to dismiss and may later be supported by discovery. But these claims’ fundamental failings are not about the parties’ dispute as to the legal arguments relating to their claims, or the facts, or even that all of their claims are weak and meritless (which, they are).”
Reynolds’ attorneys accused Baldoni’s team of violating Rule 11, which requires court filings to be made in good faith and are supported by reasonable inquiry into the facts and law.
“The Rule 11 Plaintiffs’ defamation claims against Mr. Reynolds are likewise frivolous,” the filing read. “The Rule 11 Plaintiffs are only able to identify two statements that they can even claim Mr. Reynolds made, but they concede that each of those statements are exclusively about Baldoni.”
Reynolds’ lawyers alleged that Baldoni’s “frivolous claims” against Reynolds were not made by accident. They argued that the court should impose sanctions and suggested that attorneys’ fees be awarded to Reynolds.
Baldoni, 41, and Reynolds’ legal drama began in December 2024 when the Deadpool actor’s wife, Blake Lively, sued Baldoni. Lively, who costarred in It Ends With Us with Baldoni, accused him of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her.

Baldoni, who also directed the film, denied the allegations and subsequently filed his own lawsuit against Lively, 37, Reynolds and her publicist Leslie Sloane. In the $400 million lawsuit, Baldoni accused the couple of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and more. Lively and Reynolds have denied the allegations.
Lively and Baldoni have yet to come to a resolution in their legal drama. A trial is scheduled for March 9, 2026.

As Duck Dynasty alum Phil Robertson continues to battle Alzheimer’s, his wife, Kay Robertson, is facing health challenges of her own.
“Dad’s not doing well at all. It’s definitely progressing,” their son Willie Robertson exclusively shares in Us Weekly’s latest cover story. “And mom has shown the same type of symptoms of Alzheimer’s or dementia. It’s just part of life — and mom has her good days.”
Willie, 53, notes it was “great” to have his mother make an appearance on the upcoming series Duck Dynasty: The Revival, but tells Us fans of the original reality show shouldn’t expect frequent cameos. “She’s probably not going to be able to do that in the future,” he says. “She also has more health problems, as well. But we’re there.”
The family’s close-knit relationship has been stronger than ever amid Phil, 79, and Kay’s health struggles. “We [still] spend time together, but they lived a great journey and taught us a lot,” Willie tells Us. “[My wife] Korie [Robertson] and I are very appreciative of what we were able to do on Duck Dynasty, to be able to see that.”
Which 'Duck Dynasty' Stars Are — And Aren't — Returning for Revival
Reflecting on his parents’ reality TV stardom, he continued, “I think people don’t realize [when] the show started for them and Uncle Si [Robertson], they were all in their mid-sixties, and so they were retired and pretty much done. They thought they’d done everything in life. And so, for them to have that last push and be on television, and I’m just glad that people got to see them and enjoy that when we had that time.”
Willie is one of Phil and Kay’s four children, including brothers Alan, Jase and Jep. In 2020, Phil learned he is also father of a daughter named Phyllis following an affair he had in the ‘70s.
On a December 2024 episode of the “Unashamed with the Robertson Family” podcast, Jase, 55, revealed that his father had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Jase told his podcast listeners last month that Phil’s health “hasn’t been good.”
Amid a “really difficult” past year, Korie, 51, tells Us it’s been “sweet” to see how her husband has stepped up to look after his parents. “They’ve just come together and just really, it’s brought the family together in a way,” she explains. “And I know sometimes that can be something that tears families apart, but for our family, everyone’s just come around and brought them together.”
Willie agreed that his parents’ health gives him a greater appreciation for the “small, tiny moments” in life, in addition to bringing him and his siblings closer. “I’m glad they’re here,” he says. “I’m glad I get to see them a lot, too, ‘cause I know a lot of families don’t get to see each other a lot, but we do. It really has meant a lot.”
Fans will soon get to see the famous family back on screen when Duck Dynasty: The Revival premieres on Friday, June 1. The cast includes Willie and Korie’s daughter Sadie Robertson, who also exclusively opens up about her grandparents’ health in Us’ newest cover story. (Willie and Kori share a total of six kids, including Rebecca, 36, John, 29, Will, 23, Bella, 22, and Rowdy, 22.)
'Duck Dynasty' Cast: Where Are They Now?
“Kind of a silver lining, blessing in disguise, is that their love for one another is so prevalent in the most beautiful way through such a tragic situation,” Sadie, 27, tells Us. “Just seeing two people love each other that much, who have loved each other since they were 15 years old, is so inspiring when it comes to love and going through hard times. And so, it has been very hard to watch them go through what they’ve gone through but seeing them comfort each other and it has been really, really beautiful.”

Sofia Richie is the ultimate party planner.
The model and her husband Elliot Grainge celebrated their daughter Eloise’s first birthday with a lavish backyard bash in honor of the special...Post Malone is in the middle of a legal battle with ex Hee Sung “Jamie” Park for custody of their daughter.
During their time together, Malone (real name Austin Post) kept his relationship with Park largely out of the public eye. The rapper did confirm in May 2022 that he was gearing up for fatherhood, but left Park’s name out of the pregnancy announcement. Malone and Park welcomed their daughter the following year. Her name has yet to be revealed publicly. (The child is referred to as “DDP” in court documents regarding custody.)
“It changes your life in the best way ever,” Malone said on CBS Sunday Morning in August 2024. “I’ll never forget her. If you’ve heard her cry, you’ll never forget her, either.”
After becoming parents, Malone started to be a bit more open about his relationship. The singer confirmed during a 2023 appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that he and Park were engaged. Malone had proposed two years prior.
Post Malone's Ex Served Him Court Papers 2 Days Before Coachella: Report
Court documents obtained by multiple outlets in May 2025 revealed that Malone and Park had split in November 2024. It’s unclear why they decided to split but things started to get rocky in the aftermath when news broke that Park petitioned for full custody of their daughter.
Keep scrolling for details on Malone and Park’s custody battle:
Us Weekly confirmed in April 2025 that Park had filed a petition in California for primary physical custody of their daughter. She requested joint legal custody and asked for Malone to be awarded child visitation. Park also asked that Malone be responsible for attorney fees.
After news of Park’s petition went public, multiple outlets reported that Malone had actually filed his own custody petition in Utah, days before his ex.
Malone claimed in the May 2025 docs, which he filed to dismiss Park’s custody petition, that he and Park lived together in Utah before their relationship ended, where they were raising their daughter. He initially agreed to share custody of their daughter, moving their daughter between L.A. — where Park has since relocated — and Utah every two weeks.
The rapper alleged that he later learned that Park was planning to file her custody petition and change their daughter’s primary residence to California — which is why he filed his own custody petition first.

Malone claims that Park’s custody petition “intentionally misleads” the situation since their daughter has lived in Utah her whole life. He further alleged that Park “rushed to enroll DDP in every type of activity she can” in California, attempting to show their daughter lived there.
“I do not consent to Jamie’s back door attempt to change DDP’s residence from Utah to California,” Malone’s May 2025 filing reads, according to Billboard. “I request that the California court admonish Jamie for her lack of candor, gamesmanship in attempting to forum shop, and her intentional action to try to mislead the court about DDP’s home.”
Neither Malone nor Park has publicly addressed the ongoing custody dispute.

While Jessica Simpson came off as cool during her American Idol season 23 finale performance, she was actually a bundle of nerves on the inside.
“Oh, my God, I was dying,” Simpson, 44, quipped in an interview with Extra published Monday, May 19. “I can’t even tell you how long it’s been since I’ve been that nervous. Like, I had to put hairspray on my feet to stand still, like, not that it actually keeps me put, but, like, my feet were sweating. I’m like, ‘My feet don’t sweat.’”
She added, “I just kept telling myself, ‘Do not cry. Do not cry. I know this is a big moment … do not cry.’ And then I see my dad [Joe Simpson], like, up in the corner and I’m like, ‘Ah, I’m going to cry. I’m going to cry. Do not cry. Just sing your songs. Just sing your songs.’”
Jessica took to the stage during American Idol’s Sunday, May 18, finale to perform her new song “Blame Me” and her version of Nancy Sinatra’s 1966 hit “These Boots Are Made for Walkin.’” She was joined by contestant Josh King, who was eliminated earlier in the season after a performance of the former song.
Jessica Simpson Jokes She's 'Very Single' After Eric Johnson Separation
Host Ryan Seacrest noted that the performance marked Jessica’s first TV appearance in 15 years.
“That’s a really long time, and, like, the last time was a Christmas song, so that’s easy,” Simpson told Extra after the episode. “So, this is my new EP Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1, I mean, Pt. 2 comes in the summer, but it is so much a part of my soul, and so to sing a song off of that I felt naked, to be honest, like, it was very bare and raw and very vulnerable.”
In addition to receiving applause from the show’s live audience, Jessica also got support from her kids back at home. “I had my kids FaceTiming everybody to tell me I did a good job,” she shared. “And I haven’t gotten to talk to them yet, but I’m so excited to talk to them because they’ve never seen me sing live like that.”
Jessica shares Maxwell, 13, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 6, with her estranged husband, Eric Johnson. After sparking split rumors in late 2024, the pair officially announced in January that they were separating after 10 years of marriage. The two have not filed for divorce.
“Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” she said in a January 13 statement to Us Weekly. “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”
Jessica Simpson Says New EP Is About 'Learning to Hear My Heart Again'
Despite their split, Jessica praised Johnson, 45, for supporting her return to music in a February interview with The Cut. “It is a gift. Eric supported that gift. My kids supported that gift,” she gushed.
A source exclusively told Us earlier this month that the exes “are getting along well and everyone seems to be very happy,” adding, “They talk and see each other all the time and have decided that no matter what happens, they will get along for the kids.”
Jessica released her Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1 EP in March and performed on stage for the first time in 15 years at the Recording Academy’s Austin Chapter Block Party during SXSW in Austin, Texas, that same month.

There’s a new lip product on the scene, and Bethenny Frankel has already given it her seal of approval. BeautyStat, known for its skincare, introduced its C Lip Serum on May 1. Shortly after, Frankel shared in a TikTok video explaining that someone who works with her told her she needed to try the new beauty product.
Right off the bat, Frankel called the serum “davoon” (her version of “divine”) and said it smells like sherbet. What made it stand out to her was that it was “so creamy.” We all know that Frankel doesn’t hold back on her opinions — whether she’s reviewing a product or going at it on The Real Housewives of New York City — so her calling the BeautyStat C Lip Serum “excellent,” “delicious” and a “summer must-have” holds serious weight. Did we mentions it’s only $15 on Amazon?
Get the BeautyStat C Lip Serum with SPF 30 for $15 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date.
Over 38,000 Shoppers Love This Under-$25 Mask That Leaves Lips 'Super Glossy and Hydrated'
This lip serum covers a lot of ground in one product. Vitamin C battles dryness and protects against the environmental elements, while sun protection factor (SPF) 30 keeps your lips safe from ultraviolet (UV) rays. And while it’s doing all that, the silky-smooth formula — or as Frankel calls it, “so creamy” — provides ample hydration, plumps lips and enhances brightness with a shiny finish.
The BeautyStat C Lip Serum comes in two colors: ‘baby pink’ and ‘neutral peach.’ Frankel tried the ‘baby pink’ and said it was pretty clear rather than a stand-out pink. Both colors can be worn throughout the year, but it’s convenient that they’re here in time for summer when you sometimes don’t want anything super dramatic.
Wear the $15 lip serum on its own or over your favorite lipstick or gloss. The brand recommends reapplying it every two hours for optimal sun protection. But with the product’s orange-vanilla ‘dreamsicle’ flavor, you’ll want to do that anyway!
BeautyStat just released the C Lip Serum, so there aren’t too many real-world reviews yet. But so far, shoppers can’t go over how well the product glides onto their lips and how good and hydrating it feels. Sounds like a summer winner to Us, too!
