According to lip reader Nicola Hickling, Blake Lively told Schumer, "I need this hug so much," before briefly looking toward her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and adding, "God, help me."

Schumer, 43, reassured Lively, saying, "You’re gonna be okay, They are projecting onto him." Hickling claimed that Lively, 37, expressed gratitude to the 'Trainwreck' actress, saying, "Thank you for being there."

Reps for both stars have yet to respond to requests for comment.

Tensions surrounding the lawsuit were subtly acknowledged during the event when hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler playfully called out Reynolds in the audience. His response, "Great! Why, what have you heard?” drew laughter but left Lively visibly stunned.



 

Industry insiders have questioned the couple’s decision to attend the high-profile event, with some believing their public presence could impact the legal battle. Meanwhile, Baldoni, who has denied the allegations, is countersuing Lively and Reynolds for $400 million, with a trial potentially set for 2026.

Amy Schumer’s comment to Blake Lively during the ‘SNL 50’ celebration has fueled an already intense discussion surrounding the ongoing lawsuit involving Justin Baldoni, per Page Six.

One user bluntly stated, "Blake threw the first stone...DEAL WITH IT," while another voiced strong disapproval of Schumer, writing, "Just when I thought I couldn't dislike Amy Schumer more, now she's supporting this woman who has lied over and over in an effort to totally destroy Baldoni."

One comment read, "Team Lively and Reynolds are getting desperate to win back the public. It's never going to happen."

Others dismissed the entire situation as a spectacle, with one user writing, "Clowns in a circus that's it."

Another commented, "Amy trying to resuscitate her career that has long been DEAD."

"God help me"? ... sadly, Blake, this is out of even God's hand now," a user said.
