Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Address Legal Battle at SNL50 with Humor
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively made a notable appearance at the 50th anniversary celebration of Saturday Night Live (SNL50) on February 16, 2025, in New York City. The couple, who have been embroiled in a high-profile legal battle with actor and director Justin Baldoni, used the event to address the situation with humor. During a segment hosted by former SNL cast members Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, Reynolds was asked, “How’s it going?” to which he quipped, “Great, why? What have you heard?” The remark drew laughter from the audience, including Lively, who feigned shock at her husband’s response.
The legal dispute stems from Lively’s allegations of sexual harassment against Baldoni, her co-star and director in the film It Ends With Us. Baldoni has denied the accusations and filed a $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds, and their publicist. In turn, Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department, alleging Baldoni orchestrated a smear campaign against her. The case has escalated into a public feud, with Baldoni releasing raw footage from the film’s set and text message exchanges in an attempt to clear his name.
The trial is scheduled for May 2026, with both sides indicating that a settlement is unlikely. Despite the ongoing legal drama, Reynolds and Lively’s appearance at SNL50 showcased their ability to maintain a light-hearted demeanor, even as the case continues to unfold. The event also featured appearances by numerous celebrities, including Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and other SNL alumni, marking a star-studded celebration of the iconic show’s milestone anniversary.
