Ryan Reynolds Jokes About Blake Lively's Legal Battle During SNL50 Special

During Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary special, Ryan Reynolds humorously referenced the ongoing legal drama surrounding his wife Blake Lively and her film It Ends With Us. While attending the star-studded event, Reynolds jokingly responded to Amy Poehler's and Tina Fey's inquiry about his well-being with, 'Great, why, what have you heard?' This comment drew attention to the legal issues stemming from Lively's December lawsuit against director Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and attempting to damage her reputation. Baldoni has since filed a $400 million counter lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds, and her publicist, claiming defamation and civil extortion. The situation has escalated into a public spectacle, with both sides preparing for a potential trial as early as March 2026. The audience's reactions, particularly Lively's shocked expression, have since become a talking point among fans and media alike.
