A lip reader has detailed what Ryan Reynolds supposedly said to Blake Lively during a tense red carpet moment earlier this year.
Lively has been in the news a lot recently after filing a lawsuit against It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, with the Gossip Girl star accusing him of sexual harassment – which the Baldoni camp has categorically denied – and ‘other behaviors that were shocking and emotional distressing’, as per the complaint.
Stories arose shortly after the film’s release, with speculation mounting surrounding alleged ‘friction’ between the actors, while Lively also found herself being slammed online during the movie’s press tour.
Around the same time, Lively appeared on the red carpet at the premiere of It Ends With Us, where she had what appeared to be a rather tense conversation with her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
While the press snapped away, the celebrity couple appeared to be quietly chatting and attention has turned to what they were talking about.
And lip reader Nicola Hicking told Nicki Swift that Reynolds was asking Lively a question.
Apparently, Reynolds said: “Is this the last time?”
To which Lively allegedly responded: “No, we gotta’ speak to everyone, erm, are you impressed there’s more?”
“Yeah, yeah, well it’s hardly a secret,” her husband apparently replied.
LADbible Group has previously reached out to Lively and Reynolds’ representatives for comment.
In July, Lively shut down divorce rumors after a fan took the comments of one of her Instagram posts and said: “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.”
To which Lively responded: “Haha they wish.”
As per the lawsuit obtained by The New York Times, it is now reported that Reynolds may have been more present than previously known in the production of It Ends With Us.
The complaint states a meeting was held during production to address Lively’s claims and a list of 30 demands was provided.
Her husband was reportedly in attendance at this meeting.
“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,” one of the demands included according to the legal complaint.
Bryan Freedman, an attorney for Baldoni as well as his company Wayfarer Studios, told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement: “It is shameful that Ms. Lively and her representatives would make such serious and categorically false accusations against Mr. Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its representatives, as yet another desperate attempt to ‘fix’ her negative reputation which was garnered from her own remarks and actions during the campaign for the film; interviews and press activities that were observed publicly, in real time and unedited, which allowed for the internet to generate their own views and opinions.”
The attorney described the claims as ‘completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media’.
Meanwhile, Lively told The New York Times: “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.”
