Bethenny Frankel, a former Real Housewives of New York City star, has come out in support of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively after their recent appearance on Saturday Night Live (SNL) 50. The couple attended the event, which included a Q&A session with the hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
The legal battle between Lively and Justin Baldoni, director of It Ends With Us, continues to make headlines. Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni’s production company, accusing him of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. Baldoni responded with two lawsuits, including one against The New York Times for publishing Lively’s complaint in full.
Frankel praised SNL 50 for inviting Reynolds and Lively to participate in the event, saying it was “marketing genius” and a great idea from a marketing standpoint. She also commended Reynolds and Lively for attending the event, stating that they were “the epicenter of pop culture.”
However, not everyone agrees with Frankel’s take on the situation. The couple’s legal battle is set to go to trial next year, and some have questioned whether participating in SNL 50 was a wise decision.
Reynolds made a joke during the Q&A session about Lively’s ongoing legal battle, which sparked a debate among fans. Frankel said that Reynolds’ comment was “absolutely brilliant” and poked fun at how people speculate about what really happened between Lively and Baldoni.
The situation has highlighted the complexities of Lively’s case, with Baldoni denying all allegations against him. The lawsuit is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how the trial will play out.
In related news, Lively recently subpoenaed Baldoni’s phone records in an effort to gather evidence for her legal team. Baldoni’s lawyer said that this request was “an ordinary part of the litigation” but argued that the amount of information requested was excessive.
