Ryan Reynolds made a reference to his wife Blake Lively's ongoing legal battle against Justin Baldoni during their appearance in SNL 50: The Anniversary Special.
The legal battle between the It Ends with Us stars has been making headlines for the past few months with numerous allegations and complaints filed from both sides. Reynolds has also been attached to the controversy.
Ryan Reynolds Joked About Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Legal Drama During SNL 50
During the Q&A segment of SNL 50: The Anniversary Special, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler invited the celebrity audiences in 8H to ask them questions about the show.
Reynolds was one of the celebrities who participated in the said segment. Fey asked him, "How’s it going?"
The Deadpool & Wolverine star jokingly responded, "Great, why? What have you heard?"
Lively looked surprised as she heard her husband's joking response to the question.
Reynolds went on to ask Fey and Poehler about the making of the iconic Coneheads sketch and whether the material that they used was edible.
The couple also graced the red carpet before the live broadcast of the anniversary special, making it their first major public appearance together amid the drama.
Their attendance in SNL 50: The Anniversary Special did not come as a surprise since both Reynolds and Lively have hosted an episode in the past.
The Latest Update on Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Legal Drama
Last week, Lively's lawyer submitted subpoenas to AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile as they sought further evidence to bolster their claim that Baldoni engaged in an unlawful smear campaign against her in retaliation for her sexual harassment complaint.
In response, Baldoni's legal team asked a judge to prevent them from accessing years of his phone and text records as they could reveal location data and his web browser history and called the subpoenas to be "flagrantly overbroad."
"It is hard to overstate how broad, invasive, and atypical these Subpoenas truly are. This is civil litigation, not a criminal prosecution, and (Lively and Reynolds) are not the FBI," Baldoni's lawyer Mitchell Schuster wrote.
Lively's spokesperson said in response to Baldoni's objections, "If they have so many receipts why are they so afraid to produce them?"
