This public joke at the SNL event comes amid a heated legal battle between Lively and Baldoni. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, while Baldoni has filed a $400 million defamation lawsuit against her, Reynolds, and their publicist.

While some audience members, including A-list celebrities like Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, laughed off Reynolds' joke, others were less impressed. One social media user commented on X, “Ryan Reynolds nearly gave Blake Lively a heart attack at the #SNL50thAnniversary show.” This indicates that while some appreciated the humor, others found the timing inappropriate given the seriousness of the allegations.
