Ryan Reynolds Jabs at Wife Blake Lively's Legal Battle on SNL, Sparks Controversy

Ryan Reynolds reportedly deviated from his planned joke during the "Saturday Night Live" 50th-anniversary special, making light of the ongoing legal dispute between his wife, Blake Lively, and her "It Ends With Us" co-star, Justin Baldoni. The joke, which referenced Lively's allegations of on-set misconduct against Baldoni, reportedly caused unease among the SNL crew. Lively has since filed an amended complaint, claiming that two female actresses from the film will corroborate her claims of uncomfortable experiences with Baldoni. However, a source close to Baldoni has dismissed Lively's claims as "baseless," asserting that no HR complaints were filed and that other actresses on set praised Baldoni's behavior. Baldoni's lawyer also expressed surprise at Reynolds' joke, stating he was unaware of anyone joking about their wife's sexual harassment case.
