Controversial SNL Presence of Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively

Today’s news revolves around Ryan Reynold and Blake Lively's appearance in the golden jubilee celebration of Saturday Night Live (SNL). The couple’s presence at the celebration event raised many eyebrows and sparked controversy. 

Couple Presence at SNL's 50 Anniversary

Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary celebrations are in full swing from the past week. The Deadpool star, Ryan Reynolds alongside his wife Blake Lively stepped onto the red carpet capturing the attention of many. This is the first time the couple has made a joint appearance in two months amid Justin Baldoni, Blake’s co-actor from It Ends With Us legal case. Their presence at the event ignited controversy. 

Ryan Sarcastic Comment Mock Legal Dispute

At the star-studded celebration, the show’s host approached Ryan Reynolds for a quick chit-chat, during which he poked fun with sarcasm. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler asked him how things were going. He replied, "Great! Why, what have you heard?" This comment seemed to mock the ongoing legal case involving Blake and Justin.

Potential Backlash and Concern

Ryan Reynolds’ comment and Blake Lively body language at the event have raised concerns. Insiders say that the couple should not adopt a lighthearted approach towards a legal battle and must pay heed to it seriously unlike Justin, who is focusing on the legal process without making jokes about it.

The tipster stated, "It’s very plausible that Justin’s legal team will use this public outing to defend Baldoni. Justin is taking this law seriously and isn’t making a public mockery out of it."

Background of the Legal Drama

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have been involved in a legal battle for December 2024. Blake Lively has accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment filing a lawsuit against her co-actor. Blake’s statement damaged Baldoni’s reputation leading him to file a legal case against her. So far, neither Blake, Ryan, nor Justin have commented on the latest reports.
