Blake Lively made rare remarks about hers and husband Ryan Reynolds‘s controversial 2012 wedding during her It Ends With Us deposition, it has just been revealed.

Lively, 38, and Reynolds, 49, married on September 9, 2012 at Boone Hall, a former slave plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.

After facing backlash for their choice of wedding venue at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, the couple publicly admitted they were ‘uninformed’ and made a $200,000 donation to the NAACP in 2020.

Lively, who is suing It Ends With Us director/co-star Justin Baldoni, was grilled by his lawyer Bryan Freedman last July about the ‘negative press’ she and Reynolds received at the time.
