Candace Owens is at it again after Ryan Reynolds filed for dismissal from the $400 million lawsuit against him, Blake Lively, and their publicist Leslie Slone. Amid his plea to be removed from the lawsuit, Owens revisited Reynolds’ history of kissing fellow male Hollywood stars and incorporating gay jokes into his public appearances.
While she did not make a direct claim, Owens highlighted a pattern by listing multiple incidents, leaving the door open for the audience to interpret whether it hints at something deeper.
Candace Owens suggests Ryan Reynolds’s gay jokes and on-screen kisses might hint at something
Following her previous claims about Ryan Reynolds‘ alleged involvement in the It Ends With Us drama, Candace Owens has now taken things a bit further as she made implications about Reynolds’ s*xuality.
“It’s not the first time that he’s done it where he’s written himself into a skit and wanted it to be about homos*xuality,” she said talking about his Family Guy appearance.
While she did not explicitly state anything, she repeatedly pointed out his history of playing into gay jokes, kissing men as a “bit” and including similar themes in his roles.
“He thinks it’s funny to imply that he’s gay,” she continued while listing instances where Reynolds has kissed Andrew Garfield, Conan O’Brien, Patrick Warburton, and Scott Thompson.
Conan O’Brien
The first incident Candace Owens highlighted was Ryan Reynolds’ 2020 skit with Conan O’Brien. During an appearance on the late-night talk show, the duo recreated The Notebook’s iconic rain scene, with O’Brien wearing Rachel McAdams’ blue dress as they shared a passionate kiss.
Owens suggested that Ryan Reynold has repeatedly leaned into the joke of being mistaken as Ryan Gosling, especially following the success of The Notebook.
“He leaned into this repeatedly by pretending to be Ryan Gosling in The Notebook but preferring to redo those scenes with men,” she said, implying that he plays into this dynamic humorously.
Andrew Garfield
One of the most well-known instances of Ryan Reynolds kissing a fellow actor was at the 2017 Golden Globes with Andrew Garfield.
The two shared a kiss while Ryan Gosling accepted the award for Best Actor. Reynolds later revealed that Garfield had joked about kissing him instead of his wife if he won.
“I love that we were just sitting there and were just like, ‘Ah, let’s do it anyways,” Reynolds recalled on Variety’s Actors on Actors.
Candace Owens also suggested that the viral kiss was his attempt to steal Ryan Gosling’s moment at the award show. “Here he is, in a more clear picture of kissing Andrew Garfield for the same reasons… take Ryan Gosling’s moment,” Owens asserted.
Patrick Warburton
Owens also pointed out Ryan Reynolds’ cameo in Ted, where he played Patrick Warburton’s character’s boyfriend. “He had a moment with Patrick Warburton and they decided to be funny and kiss,” Owens noted reflecting on the brief scene in the movie. Though his role was minor, Reynolds appeared as Warburton’s boyfriend after his character Guy realized he was gay.
Scott Thompson
The last name Candace Owens mentioned was Canadian actor and comedian Scott Thompson. The circumstances surrounding their kiss remain unclear.

“Nice try, Garfield, but this is how you kiss Ryan Reynolds,” he said in the tweet with the image of the moment after Reynolds’ viral kiss with Andrew Garfield at the 2017 Golden Globes.
Owens noted the kiss took place at the Genie Awards, which honored Canadian cinema from 1980 to 2012. “He did it again at the Genie Awards because it’s really funny he kissed a fellow Canadian actor Scott Thompson,” she said, calling it part of Reynolds’ “recurring bit.”
Though Owens presented these moments, she stopped short of making a direct claim, instead suggesting that Reynolds’ repeated jokes and performances about homos*xuality might hint at something deeper.
