Lip reader reveals tense exchange between Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively on red carpet amid divorce rumor
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A lip reader detailed the apparent conversation between Hollywood power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds which took place at a red carpet event earlier this year, Unilad reported on Monday, December 23.
Lively has recently been in the headlines after she filed a lawsuit against her co-star in the August release 'It Ends With Us', actor Justin Baldoni.
She has accused Baldoni, who is also the director of the movie, of sexual harassment and "other behaviors that were shocking and emotionally distressing," allegations that he has categorically denied.
Angsty conversation between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
Back in August, Blake Lively was joined by her husband Ryan Reynolds on the press tour of 'It Ends With Us'. The previous month, she shut down divorce rumors from a fan on Instagram, according to Unilad.
"You and Ryan need to post more of each other, there were rumors going around that you two got divorced and I didn’t believe it because you two are literally the perfect couple," a fan reportedly commented on one of her posts, to which the actress replied, "Haha they wish."
At the red carpet premiere of her film, Lively and Reynolds were caught having a quick chat while the press snapped away.
Professional lip reader Nicola Hicking helped Nicki Swift decode the private conversation with the couple at the time, claiming Reynolds apparently asked Lively, "Is this the last time?"
"No, we gotta speak to everyone, erm, are you impressed? There's more," Lively allegedly replied, to which he quipped, "Yeah yeah, well, its hardly a secret."
At the time, Nicki Swift explained that Reynolds may not have been comfortable at the event as he was exhausted from the tour for his own film, 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'
Ryan Reynolds' presence during production of 'It Ends With Us'
The lawsuit filed by Blake Lively reportedly showed Ryan Reynolds being more present for his wife during the production of her film than was previously speculated.
A meeting a held during production to address Lively’s claims and list 30 demands of her, and Reynolds is stated to be in attendance for it.
According to the legal complaint, the demands included, "No more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged previous ‘pornography addiction,’ no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew’s genitalia, no more inquiries about Blake’s weight, and no further mention of Blake’s dead father."
Lively reportedly shared during an interview, "I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted."
