What Amy Schumer said to Blake Lively about Justin Baldoni legal drama at ‘SNL 50’: lip reader

Amy Schumer allegedly comforted Blake Lively over her ongoing legal drama with “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni at the “Saturday Night Live” 50th anniversary special.

The comedian and the “Gossip Girl” alum shared a warm lengthy hug at Sunday’s star-studded event, and lip reader Nicola Hickling broke down the exchange to the Daily Mail.

“I need this hug so much,” Lively allegedly told Schumer, before glancing over at her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and saying, “God help me.”

“You’re gonna be okay,” Schumer, 43, responded. “They are projecting onto him.”

According to Hickling, Lively, 37, thanked the “Trainwreck” star for “being there.”

Reps for Schumer and Lively didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

During the show, Reynolds, 48, poked fun at his wife’s ongoing litigation with Baldoni, 41, when he was called out in the audience by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

“Ryan Reynolds! How’s it going?” the two asked.

Subtly referring to the “It Ends With Us” drama, the “Deadpool” star quipped, “Great! Why, what have you heard?”

Lively then looked up at her husband in shock, as the audience laughed.

Sunday marked the couple’s first rep carpet appearance since the “Age of Adaline” star filed her bombshell sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni in December.

Body language expert Judi James analyzed Lively and Reynolds’ behavior at the event, telling Page Six that the actress showed “signs of stoicism.”

“Initially, both seem intending to smile for the cameras, but those smiles look forced as they start to build on their faces,” James explained.

Insiders also told Page Six that Lively and Reynolds “should have sat this one out” and their attendance “was not a good look.”

“It’s very plausible that Justin’s legal team will use this public outing to defend Baldoni,” our source said. “Justin is taking this lawsuit in all seriousness and isn’t making a public mockery out of it.”

Another source added that the actors “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.”

Baldoni has denied the sexual harassment allegations put forth by Lively and filed a $400 million lawsuit against the actress and Reynolds in January.

Over the past few months, the foes’ drama has played out in the media, as they attempt to discredit each other by releasing text message exchanges and raw footage from the film set.

The “Jane the Virgin” star and Lively will potentially head to trial in March 2026.
