Blake Lively Had To DITCH Hosting SNL Season 50 Premiere Because Of It Ends With Us Drama!

perezhilton.com:

Blake Lively missed out on a big opportunity because of all the It Ends with Us drama! The season 50 premiere of Saturday Night Live in September almost looked a lot different… With the Gossip Girl alum as host instead of Jean Smart!

But because of the nasty fallout from her drama with IEWU co-star/director Justin Baldoni, she felt she had to back out.

That’s at least what she’s claiming! In her bombshell sexual harassment complaint filed against Justin, the 37-year-old claimed she “did not believe she could proceed with public appearances or events without being forced to openly discuss what happened on set.” Related: Watch Scarlett Johansson’s Jaw DROP As Husband Colin Jost Is Forced To Read RAUNCHY Jokes About Her On SNL! Yikes… That makes a lot of sense, though.

We mean, EVERYONE was talking about it. The docs add: We honestly get it! The show would have quickly become about that rather than her hosting capabilities or the show’s milestone 50th season premiere!
