- In an appearance “SNL”, Ryan Reynolds nodded towards the drama around him and Blake Lively.
- Baldoni’s lawyer, speaking on a podcast, shot Reynolds on the apparent reference.
- Lively continued Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment, and he contradicted it as well as Reynolds.
A lawyer for “he ends with us” and the star Justin Baltini ridiculed Ryan Reynolds on his veiled reference on “Saturday Night Live” to his current legal drama of his wife Blake Lively.
Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, took Reynolds during an appearance on Monday in Billy Bush’s program.
“I am not aware of anyone, frankly, whose woman was sexually harassed and made jokes on this type of situation,” Freedman told Bush, adding: “I cannot think of anyone who did something Like that, and so it surprised me.
Freedman reacted to the joke that Reynolds made during the program of the 50th anniversary of “SNL” of SNL on Sunday.
During a piece of questions and answers organized by the veterans of “SNL” Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the star of “Deadpool”, who was sitting in the audience next to Lively, got up to ask a question As part of the sketch.
“Ryan Reynolds! How are you?” Fey said of the scene to which Reynolds replied: “Super, why, what did you hear?” cause laughter from the public.
Reynolds and Lively – who played in front of the Baldoni during the summer box office hit – were involved in a controversial legal struggle with Baldoni since December.
Lively initially continued Baldoni before the Federal Court of Manhattan, accusing him of sexual harassment in the set “He ends with us” and of engaging in an online defamation campaign against her. The defendants of the Lively trial include the Baldoni production company, Wayfarer Studios, its producer colleagues and its publicists.
Baldoni, who denied the allegations, then contraindicated and Reynolds in a defamation complaint requesting $ 400 million in damages. The two cases have since been consolidated in one.
Freedman, while speaking about Bush’s podcast, called the “SNL” joke from Reynolds “the last decision” of the legal quarrel. Representatives of Reynolds and Lively did not respond to a request for comments from Business Insider on the appearance of Freedman’s podcast.

Meanwhile, this occurs while Baldoni lawyers are trying to block Lively and Reynolds lawyers for assignments for years of Baldoni telephone files and its associates.
In a letter of February 14 to the judge supervising the case, the Baldoni lawyers qualified the assignments published by the lawyers of Lively and Reynold to the Cellular suppliers at & T, Verizon and T-Mobile “exaggeratedly exaggerated”.
The assignments are looking for “all documents concerning calls or SMS” linked to certain figures “over a period of several years, in most cases, from December 1, 2022 to the present,” said the letter.
“It is difficult to overestimate how large these assignments are, invasive and atypical. It is a civil dispute, not a criminal prosecution, and the animated parties are not the FBI”, continues the letter. “However, the assignments to appear not only seek the complete history of the call and the SMS of each targets over a period of several years (regardless of the sender, the recipient or the subject), but also, on the Same period, real -time location information and real -time location information and data newspapers reflect, among other things, the web browsing history.
Lawyers from Lively and Reynolds declared in a letter to the judge the next day that Baldoni had continued the couple for an “absurd sum” of $ 400 million for having said that a “reprisals campaign existed, but now seems to be feared that the third parties do not turn the real evidence that would document the one who, when, where and why of this campaign.
“The animated parties-reynolds did not ask (and do not seek here) something other than non-compliant files, according to law,” said the letter.
A spokesperson for Lively told Bi on Tuesday: “If they have so many receipts, why are they so afraid of producing them.”
“Now they want to block the very discovery that would expose them. If they did not do so, they would have nothing to hide,” said the spokesperson for the Baldoni team.
Baldoni lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
