Ryan Reynolds Jokingly Alludes to Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Lawsuit During 'SNL 50'

Baldoni recently hit the couple with a $400 million countersuit.

Ryan Reynolds made a sneaky quip about his and Blake Lively’s legal drama with Justin Baldoni.

During Saturday Night Live's "SNL50" event on Sunday night, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were taking questions from the celebrity audience. “How’s it going?” they asked Reynolds when it was his turn to pose a question.

“Great. Why, what have you heard?” he sheepishly responded as his wife looked up at him, seemingly in on the bit.

While Reynolds didn't refer to the legal drama specifically, the meaning behind the purposely awkward exchange was clear.

For those of you keeping track, Reynolds, Lively, and Baldoni are currently enmeshed in some nasty lawsuits. After Blake sued her It Ends WIth Us co-star for alleged sexual harassment and for scheming to ruin her reputation with his PR team, Baldoni fired back with a $400 million countersuit against the couple, their publicist, and their publicist’s PR firm. He accused them of defamation, civil extortion, and false light invasion of privacy—and also hit the New York Times with a $250 million suit for allegedly conspiring with Lively and Reynolds to sully his name.

Baldoni didn’t stop there. Earlier this month, he also launched a website to defend himself, where he released many text exchanges between himself and Lively.
