A lip reader has given her verdict on what Amy Schumer and Blake Lively might have said to each other during a recent meeting.
As you may be aware, Lively is in a rather public legal battle with her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni, with them having sued each other and made a series of allegations about one another.
Lively, who previously filed against Baldoni alleging sexual harassment and claiming he waged a campaign of 'social manipulation' against her, just amended her legal complaint to add that her children had been 'traumatised' by the case.

Baldoni sued Lively right back in a $400 million lawsuit and their legal representatives have denied each other's allegations while they've been warned to save it for the court rather than firing public salvos.
The matter is currently scheduled to go to trial next year, but it's very much in the public and was joked about at the 50th Anniversary Special of Saturday Night Live after Lively's husband Ryan Reynolds got picked out of the crowd.
Tina Fey picked him out of the audience and asked him how things were going, with Reynolds quipping 'great, why, what have you heard?' as the world's largest metaphorical elephant loomed over the exchange with presence unremarked by the pair.

Also in attendance was comedian Amy Schumer, who spoke to Lively for a bit as they also hugged.
The pair bumped into each other at the SNL special and, according to the Daily Mail, a lip reader reckons they know what Schumer and Lively were saying to each other.
Lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Mail that Schumer offered reassurance and comfort to a grateful Lively, claiming that the It Ends With Us actor said 'I need this hug so much' as they embraced and then said 'God help me' as she looked towards her husband.
Schumer then supposedly told her 'you're gonna be okay', to which Lively then replied to by saying 'that's perfect, thank you for being there'.

The lip reader said that Schumer then talked about Reynolds and said 'they are projecting onto him'.
Baldoni's lawyer didn't seem to be the biggest fan of his client being referenced, or rather pointedly not, during the show.
Bryan Freedman claimed it 'surprised' him, saying: "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."
