Blake Lively looked\u00a0far<\/em>\u00a0from amused when husband Ryan Reynolds made a joke about her legal battle with Justin Baldoni during a\u00a0Saturday Night Live\u00a0<\/em>appearance this week.<\/p>\n

But was her reaction all part of the comedy?<\/p>\n

Reynolds<\/a>‘ remark was made less than two months after\u00a0Gossip Girl<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>alum\u00a0Blake Lively<\/a>\u00a0filed a legal complaint against her 2024\u00a0It Ends With Us<\/em>\u00a0cast-mate,\u00a0Justin Baldoni<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the shock lawsuit, the 37-year-old actress alleged both that Baldoni exhibited\u00a0overly-sexualised behaviour<\/a>\u00a0towards her whilst on the set of the Coleen Hoover\u00a0novel<\/a>\u00a0adaptation, and that he and his team later\u00a0orchestrated a smear campaign against her<\/a>.<\/p>\n

48-year-old Reynolds was also mentioned in Lively’s complaint, after she alleged that her co-star made several public inquisitions about\u00a0their\u00a0<\/em>sex life<\/a>\u00a0whilst filming.<\/p>\n

This resulted in the couple (led by Lively) handing staff on set\u00a0a list of demands about intimacy protocol<\/a>\u00a0and workplace behaviour, which are also referenced in her December complaint.<\/p>\n

Baldoni subsequently denied all allegations being made against him, and has since\u00a0sued Lively<\/a>\u00a0himself for defamation and extortion.<\/p>\n

The actor also refuted claims of angst between he and the\u00a0Deadpool\u00a0<\/em>front-man earlier this month (3 Feb), by sharing\u00a0a series of text messages<\/a>\u00a0and claiming the pair enjoyed an amicable relationship whilst he worked alongside Lively.<\/p>\n

Naturally, therefore, the fact that the legal dispute is still very much ongoing left millions of telly-watchers blindsided this weekend, when Reynolds made a joke about it during an appearance on the 50th anniversary edition of\u00a0Saturday Night Live.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s a clip of the comment, for reference:<\/p>\n

In the viral video, Reynolds can be seen in the audience with wife Lively, before hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey give the pair a shout-out.<\/p>\n

He then stands whilst Poehler exclaims: “Oh, hi, Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Reynolds, how is it going?”<\/p>\n

With an awkward expression, Reynolds then replies, ‘Great… why? What have you heard?’, before Lively’s shocked face shoots upwards in his direction.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0joke itself has stirred up global controversy,<\/a>\u00a0with many wondering whether its timing or circumstances were appropriate.<\/p>\n

The clip has also somewhat divided viewers in another sense, however, with some under the impression that Lively had no idea what her husband had planned, and others claiming she’d been in on it.<\/p>\n

Sharing a photo on X of the actress’ face before and after the remark, one viewer jibed: “Blake Lively\u2019s expression here says it all.”<\/p>\n

They added: “That did not seem like a planned expression.”<\/p>\n

After the clip was later shared on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>, another viewer claimed: “Blake\u2019s face said that she didn\u2019t know that joke was happening.”<\/p>\n

Blake’s reaction has divided viewers (Taylor Hill\/FilmMagic)<\/cite><\/div>\n

“Wait I hope Blake was acting..” a third admitted.<\/p>\n

“Blake seen a ghost for a second lol,” another joked.<\/p>\n

“You know they had a fight in the car on the way home,” a fifth continued.<\/p>\n

Others are convinced, however, that Lively’s response was perfectly-timed, and believe there’s simply no way the married two didn’t orchestrate the controversial attempt at humour together.<\/p>\n

“it\u2019s a skit. She\u2019s an actress,” one defended her online.<\/p>\n

Another hit back at comments, adding: “It\u2019s called good acting genius. Would be sh*tty acting if you can tell it was planned.”<\/p>\n

“She either a great actress or not aware of the joke at all,” another, seemingly stuck-in-the-middle viewer, continued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
