Ryan Reynold's 'horrifically mean' treatment of T.J. Miller revealed amid Justin Baldoni lawsuits
T.J. Miller's allegations of a strained relationship with Ryan Reynolds have resurfaced on social media.
Miller, 43, previously stated during an October 2022 interview on
The Adam Corolla Show
that he would not work with Reynolds, 48, again, citing allegedly 'horrifically mean' behavior by Reynolds on the sets of the
Deadpool
films. Miller portrayed Weasel, a bartender and friend to Deadpool, in the franchise's first two films.

In the interview, Miller recounted an incident where Reynolds, seemingly in character as Deadpool, made comments that Miller found demeaning.
'As the character, he was, like, horrifically mean to me,' Miller claimed, before sharing an alleged incident from the filming of the second film. 'But to me. As if I'm Weasel.'
The Big Hero 6 star continued, 'He was like, "You know what's great about you, Weasel? You're not the star, but you do just enough exposition that it's funny and then we can leave and get back to the real movie."'
However, Miller clarified that he bore no ill will toward Reynolds but felt their dynamic was uncomfortable. Days later, on the
Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show
, Miller revealed that Reynolds had reached out via email to resolve the misunderstanding, and the two were on amicable terms.
The resurfacing of Miller's comments coincides with renewed attention on Reynolds due to ongoing legal disputes involving his wife, actress Blake Lively, 37, and her
It Ends With Us
director and co-star Justin Baldoni, 41. Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. Baldoni, who denied the allegations, countersued for $400 million, alleging defamation by Lively, Reynolds, and her publicist.

Reynolds has since moved forward professionally, starring in
Deadpool & Wolverine
alongside Hugh Jackman, 56, which premiered in July 2024. Despite the public airing of grievances, Miller acknowledged Reynolds' success in the role of Deadpool and wished him well in his career.
