Justin Baldoni may have found an unexpected advantage in his ongoing legal battle with former co-star Blake Lively,

as an insider suggests that Ryan Reynolds and Lively’s recent Saturday Night Live (SNL) appearance could be leveraged in Baldoni’s defense.

The It Ends With Us actor and director, 41, was spotted enjoying a family getaway in Hawaii over the weekend,

just before Reynolds and Lively made headlines with their participation in SNL’s 50th anniversary celebration.

SNL Appearance Sparks Legal Implications

The remark was widely interpreted as a reference to the ongoing turmoil surrounding the film’s production and the legal disputes between Baldoni and Lively.

An insider speaking to Page Six noted that this public outing and lighthearted take on the situation could be a key element in Baldoni’s legal strategy. “It’s very plausible that Justin’s legal team will use this public outing to defend him,” the source revealed. “Justin is taking this lawsuit very seriously and isn’t making a public mockery of it.”

Baldoni’s Response: A Relaxed Retreat

Meanwhile, Baldoni appeared unfazed by the latest media storm, opting to spend quality time with his wife, Emily, 40, and their children in Hawaii. He was seen in casual attire, donning a white tank top, shorts, and a baseball cap as he doted on his kids. His relaxed demeanor starkly contrasted with the online backlash faced by Lively and Reynolds following their SNL appearance.

Public Reaction: Damage Control or Deflection?

With Baldoni seemingly maintaining a low profile while Lively and Reynolds attract public scrutiny, the legal implications of their SNL appearance remain to be seen. If Baldoni’s team does indeed introduce the couple’s television stint as part of their defense, it could raise questions about the role of public perception in ongoing celebrity legal battles.

For now, the It Ends With Us controversy continues to unfold, with audiences closely watching how both parties navigate their respective legal strategies. Whether Reynolds and Lively’s SNL moment will ultimately work in Baldoni’s favor remains uncertain, but one thing is clear—this courtroom drama is far from over.
