by

During SNL’s 50th anniversary show, Ryan Reynolds delivered a pre-written humorous remark concerning the It Ends With Us controversy, leading some spectators to believe that Blake Lively was taken aback by the unexpected moment.

Since the release of “It Ends With Us” in August 2024, the conflict between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively has been escalating. As tensions within the cast came to light, numerous legal disputes have ensued over the subsequent months.

Amidst a rift between supporters of the director and actor, this controversy has emerged as one of the most widely discussed scandals in contemporary Hollywood.

Yet, even amidst these circumstances, Ryan Reynolds didn’t shy away from adding humor to the topic during the Saturday Night Live’s 50th Anniversary Special.

Blake Lively has a shocked reaction to SNL joke

During the SNL 50 monologue by Tina Fey and Amy Pohler, Reynolds unexpectedly rose from the audience and posed his query directly to the hosts during a question-and-answer segment, saying, “I’d like to ask something.

When asked “how’s it going?,” he then replied, “Good…why, what have you heard?”

Although there’s not much specific information provided, it appears to be a subtle allusion to the ongoing legal case and widespread media attention. However, what really grabbed viewers’ attention was Blake Lively, seated next to Reynolds. Following his question, she glanced at him, her expression turning serious and puzzled.

I don’t think Blake was in on this joke because she looked flabbergasted 😬

Following the broadcast, social media was instantly filled with comments implying that Lively was unaware the joke would be told.

One person commented, “Blake seemed taken aback by that sketch,” while another remarked, “Indeed, Blake didn’t seem to be aware of the joke, oh my goodness, look at her expression.

A bystander remarked that “Blake appeared surprised or taken aback,” while another observer put it as “It seems to me that Blake didn’t expect this joke, as she had a shocked expression.

On the other hand, some people argue that since it was Saturday Night Live, the entire incident, including Lively’s response, might have been pre-planned or scripted.

A user commented that people seem to think Blake Lively didn’t understand the joke, disregarding her role in it, perhaps because it’s more convenient for them to assume she’s not intelligent rather than acknowledging she’s part of the act.

If you immediately think that Blake is angry instead of seeing the humor in the situation, it might be a good idea for you to reconsider your thinking pattern, and make an effort to eliminate any unconscious bias towards women from your mindset.
