SNL 50th: Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Stir Up Mixed Reactions Amid Legal Drama
The ‘Saturday Night Live’ 50th-anniversary celebration was undeniably a blast, but you know what added a layer of intrigue? The drama surrounding Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. The couple’s recent legal spat with Justin Baldoni over their project “It Ends With Us” was the elephant in the room, and it left many guests scratching their heads trying to figure out why they even showed up in the first place. Insider reports reveal that plenty of stars were “confused” about their presence, especially with allegations flying around, including claims of smear campaigns and allegations of sexual harassment against Baldoni made by Blake herself. Yikes!
While some attendees were reportedly hesitant to mingle with the A-list couple—one source even questioning, “Who told them to come?”—another side of the story unfurled with fans cheering their arrival at 30 Rock. A witness noted the adrenaline as the crowd erupted when Blake and Ryan stepped out of their car, proving that their star power is still very much intact.
And don’t think they were hiding out in the corner. Both Blake and Ryan engaged with others, including a sweet moment shared with Dakota Johnson, and they even bonded with Woody Harrelson. After spending around an hour schmoozing and snapping selfies after the live show, they decided to bail on the after-party and exit with none other than Paul McCartney. Talk about leaving with a bang!
Despite the legal heat they are feeling, it seems Blake and Ryan were more intent on enjoying the night rather than ruminating on court troubles, with sources stating that Baldoni never even came up in their conversations. While we’re left wondering what will happen next in this legal saga—especially for a film that was delayed due to these controversies—it’s clear the Hollywood couple’s charisma still shines through the murky waters of their ongoing drama. Guess this just invites more curiosity about the unfolding events and the upcoming film’s fate.
