Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were the hot topic of conversation among guests at 'Saturday Night Live's 50th-anniversary show and after-party — and it all had to do with the couple's ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

Hollywood insiders feel Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ attendance at the “Saturday Night Live” 50th anniversary special “was not a good look.”
An insider exclusively tells Page Six they believe the couple “should have sat this one out.”
On Sunday, Lively and Reynolds made their first red carpet appearance since the “Gossip Girl” alum filed her sexual harassment lawsuit against her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director Justin Baldoni.
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?”
Our source tells Page Six, “It’s very plausible that Justin’s legal team will use this public outing to defend Baldoni.”
“Justin is taking this lawsuit in all seriousness and isn’t making a public mockery out of it.”
A second insider says Lively “was initially hesitant to attend the anniversary show but ultimately she’s glad she went and had a really nice time.”
“Blake and Ryan have no regrets about making an appearance and they’re glad they showed up because they have nothing to hide and no reason not to.”
“Blake and Ryan were two of the last people to leave Studio 8H where ‘SNL’ is filmed,” the source reveals.
“They walked out with Paul McCartney and his wife, and a bunch of crew members asked to take pictures with Ryan which he happily did.”
Reps for Baldoni, Lively and Reynolds did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
