Ryan Reynolds humorously referenced his legal issues with Justin Baldoni during an SNL appearance. This prompted criticism from Baldoni's attorney, who questioned Reynolds' decision to joke about his wife Blake Lively's allegations of sexual harassment against Baldoni. Lively has sued Baldoni, accusing him of harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign, while Baldoni has countersued for defamation. The ongoing legal battle has put both parties in a spotlight, making Reynolds' light-hearted quip particularly controversial.
I'm unaware of anybody, frankly, whose wife has been sexually harassed and has made jokes about that type of situation. I can't think of anyone who's done anything like that, and so it surprised me.
Great, why, what have you heard?
Lively initially sued Baldoni in Manhattan federal court, accusing him of sexual harassment on the 'It Ends With Us' set and of engaging in a retaliatory online smear campaign against her.
Baldoni, who has denied the allegations, then countersued Lively and Reynolds in a defamation complaint.
