Reynolds and Lively’s appearance at the special was their first public showing amid the ongoing It Ends With Us scandal, which has seen both Lively and the film’s director and co-star Baldoni file respective lawsuits against each other.
SNL encouraged Reynolds, who previously hinted at a difficult time in his first social media post since Lively’s lawsuit, to reference the scandal in a small moment involving Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
Meanwhile, Baldoni, who was subsequently dropped by his agency after the allegations emerged, denied all claims and sued Lively and Reynolds for $400m (£321m) for attempting to “destroy” his reputation and career.
Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, responded to the subpoenas, telling US Weekly that while “subpoenas are an ordinary part of the litigation,” it’s the extent of what Lively’s lawyers are seeking that is “extraordinary.”.
Ryan Reynolds shocked SNL fans with a joke about the Blake Lively and justin Baldoni drama.
