Ryan Reynolds tried to humorously address Blake Lively's bitter legal battle with Justin Baldoni on 'SNL 50', appearing briefly as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were interacting with the audience.
The "Saturday Night Live" icons asked Ryan, "How's it going?" to which he replied, "Great! Why, what did you hear?" his voice shaking deliberately.
Blake can be seen next to Reynolds with a smile on her face during this moment, although she looked like she had seen a ghost when the moderators initially asked the rhetorical question to her husband.

Although the audience, plus the special effects, made the audience laugh, there was no denying the elephant in the room, with the couple's awkward presence, added to Ryan's choice to appear in front of the cameras.
Naturally, his and Blake's drama with the "It Ends With Us" actor has been in the spotlight, and neither side has shown any signs of giving in to pressure from the other.
As you know, Blake Lively sued "Jane the Virgin" star Justin Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment on set and for conspiring with his public relations team to tarnish her reputation.
Baldoni responded by filing a $400 million lawsuit against the couple, plus their publicist, Leslie Sloane, over claims of defamation and civil extortion. His massive lawsuit came after he also sued the New York Times for $250 million for allegedly working with Blake and Ryan to publicly smear his name.
