Lively and Reynolds made their first red carpet appearance since the “Gossip Girl” alum filed her sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni — her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director.
The “Deadpool” star, 48, also made a joke about his wife’s legal battle with Baldoni as he sat in the audience among several celebrities including Kevin Costner, Anya Taylor-Joy, Steven Spielberg, Cher, and Jenna Ortega.
In a clip from the show, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler called out the “Deadpool” star as he sat in the audience alongside Lively.
“Ryan Reynolds! How’s it going?” he was asked.
In response, Reynolds poked fun at the recent “It Ends With Us” drama, quipping, “Great! Why, what have you heard?”
