Ryan Reynolds Skips Blake Lively's Premiere Amid Legal Drama Fallout

Blake Lively attended the premiere of "Another Simple Favor" without husband Ryan Reynolds, fueling speculation that their ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni is impacting their public appearances. Reynolds' absence follows a perceived negative reception to a joke he made about the lawsuit on SNL. Sources suggest the couple is now prioritizing separate careers to avoid further scrutiny and protect their individual incomes. While Lively posed with co-star Anna Kendrick, some reports indicate tension between the actresses, with Kendrick's remarks about working with Lively contrasting with Lively's own positive comments. The premiere comes amidst Lively's lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment, and his countersuit for defamation. A spokesperson for Reynolds stated that the premiere was a success and that Lively attended with her cast and filmmakers and had a great time.
