How Ryan Reynolds' SNL50 joke sparked tensions backstage as Blake Lively feud continues


Some attendees were reportedly 'apprehensive' about mingling with the couple, while others were less than amused with Reynolds' apparent quip about their ongoing legal nightmare.

Lively, 37, joined her husband, 48, for Sunday night’s celebratory bash which marked her return to the spotlight for the first time since she filed a lawsuit against her It Ends with Us costar Justin Baldoni back in December. Lively and Reynolds were joined by a litany of A-listers at the event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the NBC staple, including alums Eddie Murphy, Kristen Wiig, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Bill Murray, Leslie Jones, David Spade and Jon Lovitz. The actress has faced a barrage of abuse in the wake of the release date announcement and first-look poster with her costar Anna Kendrick reportedly fearful that Lively's scandal will overshadow the long-awaited sequel.
