Fans are criticizing Ryan Reynolds after he revealed his 7-year-old daughter, Inez, delivered a crude line in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). Inez, playing the character Kidpool, quipped: *“Hey, when I want your opinion, I’ll take Wolverine’s d** out of your mouth.” The admission came during a behind-the-scenes commentary track with director Shawn Levy, where Reynolds joked about earning the “father of the year award” for persuading Inez to say the line after she initially refused.

Controversy Over Coercion Claims
Reynolds shared that Inez reluctantly agreed only after he threatened to recast her role. Levy added they made her repeat the line “70 to 500 times” during filming. Social media erupted, with fans calling the decision “sickening” and questioning why child services weren’t involved. One user wrote, “As an adult onset, I would’ve piped up to these sickos,” while others labeled the family “perverted.”

Legal Troubles Amplify Scrutiny
The backlash resurfaces amid Reynolds’ legal battle with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni, whom Reynolds privately called a “predator.” Baldoni has filed a $400 million lawsuit against his ex-publicist, Stephanie Jones, alleging she leaked damaging texts to Reynolds’ wife, Blake Lively, who co-stars in Baldoni’s film. Lively, accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment, seeks dismissal under a California anti-retaliation law, potentially requiring Baldoni to cover her legal fees and damages.

Reynolds’ Defense and Fallout
At the film’s premiere, Reynolds humorously addressed his children’s roles, hoping the movie’s content would be their “most traumatic” life experience. However, the revelation about Inez’s line has overshadowed his remarks. Legal experts note Reynolds’ team argues his “predator” comments about Baldoni were opinion-based, not defamatory.

As the controversy trends online, critics question Hollywood’s boundaries with child actors, while supporters argue the Reynolds family embraces edgy humor. The outcome of the lawsuits could set precedents for privacy and retaliation claims in Hollywood.
