Justin Baldoni’s lawyer slammed Ryan Reynolds’ decision to joke about the “It Ends With Us” star’s ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively.

Reynolds and Lively appeared at “SNL50” on Feb. 16, where the “Deadpool” star made a cameo.

Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment, retaliation and more in December, months after the film premiered. The actress claimed Baldoni’s behavior caused emotional distress in a federal lawsuit filed in January. Baldoni has denied the allegations against him.

“I’m unaware of anybody, frankly, whose wife has been sexually harassed and has made jokes about that type of situation,” Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, said during an appearance on “Hot Mics with Billy Bush.” “I can’t think of anyone who’s done anything like that. So it surprised me.”

Reynolds seemingly poked fun at his and his wife’s legal situation and the surrounding media frenzy as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler took the stage at Sunday’s 50th anniversary celebration. The “SNL” alums spotted Reynolds in the crowd and asked, “How’s it going?”

Reynolds quickly responded, “Great, why? What have you heard?”

The seeming reference to the lawsuits and “It Ends With Us” drama with Baldoni appeared to catch Lively off guard as she looked at her husband with a confused look on her face.

“I’m unaware of anybody, frankly, whose wife has been sexually harassed and has made jokes about that type of situation. I can’t think of anyone who’s done anything like that. So it surprised me.”

The couple’s appearance on “Saturday Night Live” could hurt and help them, a legal expert told Fox News Digital.

“It could potentially affect them in the sense that they are out in public and clearly enjoying themselves, which would undercut any claim for emotional distress damages related to Blake’s sexual harassment claim,” Camron Dowlatshahi, a partner at MSD Lawyers, said. “Typically, people who are severely distressed from sexual harassment are in therapy and trying to avoid publicly discussing and making light of their pending legal matter.”

While the couple received some hate online, accusing them of trying to manipulate “the public into buying the ‘I’m just a nice, funny guy’ act” and saying the “SNL” moment was “cringe,” Dowlatshahi explained to Fox News Digital that the move “humanizes” the Hollywood couple.

“It certainly humanizes Reynolds and Lively to have them out, showing their personalities that for years endeared them to fans. This is yet another indication that the couple (and Baldoni, of course) care more about their image and how the public views them, than underlying legal claims.”
