00:00:00Blake Lively is finally exposing Justin Baldoni. This could be bad. Blake Lively

00:00:06accuses Justin Baldoni of weight-shaming her on the set of It Ends With Us. The

00:00:11allegation is made in a legal complaint filed by Blake against her former

00:00:16co-star and director on the film. Blake Lively is back in the news and this time it's something super serious guys.

00:00:22She's sending out a lawsuit to Justin Baldoni, and it feels like it's straight out of a movie. She's broke into my building.

00:00:28I have a really nice view.

00:00:31I do. Blake Lively is accusing Justin Baldoni of launching a PR scheme against her and is roping Hailey Bieber into this mess too,

00:00:39citing her as an inspiration in her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni. Blake's suing Justin over some wild

00:00:45allegations and for allegedly fostering a weird work environment on the set of their movie It Ends With Us. Blake says Justin

00:00:52routinely body shamed her,

00:00:54including a particular instance. If any of you know the story of that movie too, this is way too ironic.

00:01:00Justin co-starred and directed in the movie with Blake and has, of course, denied the allegations vehemently.

00:01:06Blake's team say that some text messages included as part of the legal filing of the whole thing

00:01:12reveal a multi-tiered plan that Mr.

00:01:15Baldoni and his team described as some sort of social molding designed to destroy Miss Lively's reputation,

00:01:21which they say began after she raised concerns about conditions on set. Rumors were already

00:01:27swirling overhead about a rift forming between Blake and Justin during their press run in the summer of

00:01:322024 after the attentive fans noticed how cold they were to each other on the red carpet. Now, Blake is showing us that sometime before

00:01:40August 2nd, Justin hired Melissa Nathan. Basically,

00:01:44she's a management expert whose previous clients included Johnny Depp.

00:01:48He hired her as part of a PR team that also contains the publicist Jennifer Abel. In Blake's lawsuit,

00:01:54Blake included an alleged text that Justin sent to Jennifer Abel,

00:01:57which was a screenshot of a thread on X or Twitter about the rumors that were spreading about Hailey Bieber early in

00:02:042024, along with the message,

00:02:05this is what we would need. It's worth noting up front, Hailey Bieber had nothing to do with the alleged smear campaign against Blake.

00:02:12Her name just happens to pop up in Justin's messages as a point of

00:02:16inspiration. That's where things take a darker turn.

00:02:20According to Blake's lawsuit, her suspicions about Justin started long before the cameras started rolling.

00:02:25She claims she was wary of him from day one and the two clashed over Justin trying to add

00:02:30gratuitous scenes to It Ends With Us.

00:02:32I'm sure you can guess what the nature of these scenes were. The tension only escalated on set, culminating in an HR

00:02:39showdown where Blake laid down her boundaries. Conditions had to be met, including the addition of an intimacy coordinator,

00:02:46before she'd even consider returning to work after the writer's strike. But apparently, Justin had other plans brewing.

00:02:54Sometime before August 2nd, he brought in the management heavyweight, Melissa, famous for handling Johnny Depp's PR storms, to help manage things,

00:03:02along with the publicist we talked about earlier, too, Jennifer. If Blake's legal team is to be believed,

00:03:07this wasn't them trying to control the fallout. It was an outright takedown strategy.

00:03:12The messages allegedly exchanged between Melissa and Jennifer read more like dialogue from a soap opera than professional correspondence.

00:03:20In one alleged text, Melissa bragged about her ability to bury anyone,

00:03:24replying to Jennifer's comments that Justin wanted Blake to feel like she could be buried. Melissa wrote,

00:03:29but you know, when we send over documents,

00:03:31we can't send over the work we will or could do because that could get us in a lot of trouble. And

00:03:37look where they are now. And if you thought that was chilling, it gets worse.

00:03:41Melissa allegedly joked about sending Jennifer a present with the follow-up,

00:03:45don't worry, I didn't remove her and send her in a box to your house.

00:03:49Jennifer's response, a casual, dang it, in all caps.

00:03:53Seriously, who jokes about that? It wasn't all talk either. In another exchange,

00:03:58Jennifer reportedly admitted to having thoughts about planting negative stories about Blake being not that great to work with. At first, fans assumed the feud

00:04:06between Blake and Justin was about creative differences.

00:04:09Justin wanted the film to focus on the heavy themes of the main subject of the original book,

00:04:13while Blake thought it should strike a more hopeful tone.

00:04:16But Blake's lawsuit suggests that the issues ran far deeper. The backlash against Blake during the press tour where she was called out for her

00:04:24tone-deaf interviews that glossed over the film's themes might not have been entirely organic.

00:04:30Justin's messages show he was more than ready to use the criticism to his advantage.

00:04:35What is the TikTok strategy? He allegedly asked his team.

00:04:38I'd like you guys to start posting me only talking about the theme and why this movie is so important.

00:04:44Meanwhile, more wild accusations about Justin's on-set behavior began trickling into the press and let's just say,

00:04:51they're not pretty. Blake didn't hold back in her lawsuit and the claims about Justin's behavior are jaw-dropping.

00:04:57She alleged that he barged into her trailer uninvited on more than one occasion while she was either getting changed or feeding her baby.

00:05:04He's also accused of making certain comments about her size and lingering a little too long during scenes where they were smooching.

00:05:11Oh, and there's the claim that he showed her a wild video of his wife.

00:05:14Yes, you heard that correctly. A January meeting between Blake, Justin, and studio reps were supposed to fix things with changes like

00:05:22hiring an intimacy coordinator being put into place, but according to Blake,

00:05:26she was already done. Behind the scenes, Justin's PR team was reportedly in overdrive,

00:05:31working to protect his reputation while smearing Blake's. A media strategy document included in the lawsuit

00:05:38allegedly outlines plans to discredit Blake by pointing out her less than favorable reputation in the industry.

00:05:44It even accused her of creating an imbalance of power by involving her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

00:05:50Speaking of Ryan, Justin's team allegedly saw him as another way to turn the narrative against Blake. In one alleged message,

00:05:57Justin floated the idea of flipping the script after a leak about Ryan calling the film's original script a disaster.

00:06:04My partner asked about flipping the narrative from this leak this AM, which I can only assume AM means this morning in studio speak.

00:06:11I don't know. Justin reportedly wrote that,

00:06:14suggesting they could use Ryan's comments to target Blake. If you thought things couldn't get any messier than they already are,

00:06:20think again.

00:06:22According to the document, some crew members reportedly lost their jobs because of Blake's insistence on taking creative control of It Ends With Us, and

00:06:30Justin wasn't having any of it. Through his lawyer, Brian Friedman, Justin came out swinging with a fiery statement

00:06:36refuting the claims in Blake's lawsuit.

00:06:38It is shameful that Miss Lively and her representatives would make such serious and categorically false accusations,

00:06:45Friedman said. Calling the lawsuit a desperate attempt to fix her negative reputation,

00:06:49he also pointed out that Blake's interviews and press appearances during the film's campaign were all public and unedited.

00:06:56Essentially saying the backlash she received was her own doing. Okay, that does kind of make sense, but wait,

00:07:03there's more. Friedman also revealed that Wayfarer Studios had brought on a management expert well before the movie's marketing began.

00:07:10Why? Because Blake allegedly made multiple demands and pointed comments during production,

00:07:16including refusing to show up on set or promote the film unless her conditions were met.

00:07:20According to Friedman, this ultimately led to the film's demise during release. It gets even juicier.

00:07:27Friedman claimed that Blake hired her own PR powerhouse, Leslie Sloan, from Vision PR, who also represents her husband,

00:07:33Ryan Reynolds, to plant negative and completely fabricated stories about Justin and Wayfarer Studios.

00:07:39This, he said, was another reason the studio decided to hire a team of their own,

00:07:44preparing for the storm Blake might unleash.

00:07:47However, Friedman was quick to emphasize that Wayfarer Studios never went on the offensive.

00:07:51The representatives of Wayfarer Studios still did nothing proactive nor retaliated,

00:07:57he said, claiming the studio only responded to media inquiries to ensure balanced and factual reporting.

00:08:03He also took aim at the evidence included in Blake's lawsuit, calling it cherry-picked and lacking proof of any proactive moves by Justin's team.

00:08:11Instead, Friedman brushed it off as nothing more than internal scenario planning, which he said is standard in the PR world.

00:08:18Blake, of course, isn't staying quiet. In response to Friedman's fiery statement,

00:08:23she denied planting any negative stories about Justin or his studio.

00:08:26I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these retaliatory tactics.

00:08:31She said, making it clear that her lawsuit is about more than just personal vindication. This isn't just about me.

00:08:37It's about protecting others who may be targeted. Blake's not just defending her own reputation here.

00:08:42She's positioning herself as a whistleblower, calling out what she describes as a weird system of retaliation against anyone who dares to speak up.

00:08:50Blake Lively has ended Justin Baldoni's career, and he is going down in flames.

00:08:56Nothing could have prepared me for this news, because who would have guessed, really?

00:08:59This was not on my bingo card for December 2024. Blake Lively's complaint about Justin Baldoni has set Hollywood

00:09:06ablaze, and it's ending careers. In a move that really shows the seriousness of her allegations,

00:09:12Justin has been unceremoniously dropped by his talent agency, WME. The decision comes on the heels of Blake's accusations,

00:09:19which paint a damning picture of her It Ends With Us co-star's behavior on set. If the fallout so far is anything to go by,

00:09:27Blake's legal and public stance is sending shockwaves through the industry, forcing everyone to sit up and take notice.

00:09:34According to Blake's complaint, Justin's behavior on set was nothing short of odd.

00:09:38She alleges that he repeatedly crossed professional boundaries in ways that left her feeling uncomfortable and

00:09:45disrespected. Among her most serious claims are accusations that Justin improvised intimate scenes without her consent, pushing the envelope with

00:09:52unnecessary content. Blake says it reflects a troubling pattern of disregard for professional standards,

00:09:58but the alleged misconduct didn't stop there. Blake also accuses Justin of making out-of-line comments on set, a claim that has further fueled

00:10:06public outrage. Perhaps most shockingly, she says Justin entered her trailer uninvited while she was getting dressed.

00:10:12According to Blake, these weren't isolated incidents, but rather part of an ongoing issue that made her working environment intolerable.

00:10:20Justin's own words, specifically about his struggles with adult media and past experiences, have also come under scrutiny.

00:10:26Blake alleges that he openly discussed these topics in front of her and others on set, creating an atmosphere that was anything but professional.

00:10:34While some have tried to defend Justin's previous vulnerability about these subjects, Blake's claims cast them in an entirely new light,

00:10:41making them feel less like moments of introspection and more like red flags.

00:10:45I mean, look at the science. People who are into adult media early on just have some sort of hump

00:10:51they need to get over. The response to these allegations has been swift, with Justin's lawyer Brian Friedman vehemently denying the claims.

00:10:58In his strongly worded statement, Friedman described Blake's accusations as completely false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious.

00:11:05He didn't stop there, too, accusing Blake of using this lawsuit as a way to repair what he called her negative reputation.

00:11:12According to Friedman, the claims Blake has made are nothing more than a rehashing of old grievances from the film's production,

00:11:18now packaged in a way designed to tarnish Justin's career.

00:11:22But if Friedman's goal was to paint Blake's lawsuit as baseless, the industry's reaction suggests otherwise.

00:11:28WME's decision to drop Justin, a significant career blow, signals that the accusations are being taken very seriously.

00:11:35For someone like Justin, who has spent years building his reputation as a thoughtful actor and director,

00:11:40the loss of such a high-profile agency is a devastating setback.

00:11:44Adding to the drama is the public support Blake has received from those closest to her.

00:11:48Her sister, Robin Lively, hasn't held back in showing solidarity.

00:11:51Robin took to Instagram to share her relief over the situation,

00:11:55even posting excerpts from a New York Times article that delves into Justin's alleged misconduct.

00:12:00The move was a clear sign that Blake has her family firmly in her corner as she navigates this highly publicized ordeal.

00:12:06But it's not just family standing behind Blake.

00:12:08Colleen Hoover, the best-selling author of It Ends With Us, the original book, has also come forward in support.

00:12:15Given the film's connection to her novel, Colleen's decision to publicly back Blake carries significant weight.

00:12:21She praised Blake for her honesty and character, making it clear where she stands in this escalating dispute.

00:12:27The fallout from these allegations has sparked debate within Hollywood.

00:12:30Justin's removal from WME has left many wondering whether more professional ties will be severed in the coming weeks.

00:12:36Will production companies, collaborators, and other agencies follow suit, or will Justin just find a way to bounce back?

00:12:42Public reaction to the allegations has been just as polarized.

00:12:45On social media, many have rallied behind Blake, commending her for speaking out and taking a stand against behavior that so often goes unchallenged.

00:12:52Others, however, have raised questions about Justin's side of the story, calling for more evidence before passing judgment.

00:12:58Blake's decision to speak out has forced the entertainment industry to confront its own complicity in fostering environments

00:13:03where bad behavior is allowed to thrive.

00:13:06And Justin's sudden career setback suggests that the era of sweeping these issues under the rug may finally be coming to an end.

00:13:12New allegations have come to light that further complicate the narrative.

00:13:16Blake has accused Justin of improvising intimate scenes without her consent during the filming of It Ends With Us, a move

00:13:22she describes as a blatant disregard for professional boundaries. These unscripted moments left her feeling vulnerable and disrespected,

00:13:29adding to the growing list of grievances she has publicly shared. In addition to the onset

00:13:33improprieties, Blake alleges that Justin engaged in conversations about his personal intimate life in her presence,

00:13:39creating an uncomfortable and unprofessional atmosphere. Such discussions

00:13:43she contends were not only out of line,

00:13:46but also contributed to a work environment that made it increasingly difficult for her to perform her duties as an actress.

00:13:52The impact of these allegations has been significant, with Justin being dropped by his talent agency WME in the wake of the whole thing.

00:13:59This development marks a substantial setback in his career, signaling the industry's serious stance on such matters.

00:14:05Meanwhile, Blake has received an outpouring of support from her peers and the public,

00:14:09reinforcing her position as she navigates this challenging situation. Adding to the complexity of the situation,

00:14:14Blake's lawsuit includes claims that Justin's team attempted to undermine her reputation through a calculated smear campaign.

00:14:21She alleges that his PR representatives sought to portray her as difficult to work with, thereby deflecting attention from his alleged misconduct.

00:14:29In response to the allegations, Justin's legal team has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

00:14:33His attorney, Brian Friedman, has labeled Blake's claims as categorically false and outrageous,

00:14:38suggesting that she is attempting to rehabilitate her own image at his client's expense.

00:14:42Blake's decision to come forward with her experiences has been lauded by many as a courageous stand against his behavior,

00:14:48potentially encouraging others to speak out. Conversely, the allegations have prompted scrutiny of Justin's past actions and professional relationships,

00:14:56casting a shadow over his previously unblemished public persona. As the legal proceedings advance,

00:15:02the entertainment community and the public at large are watching closely.

00:15:06The case serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining professional boundaries and the serious

00:15:11consequences that can arise when those boundaries are crossed.

00:15:14It also highlights the power dynamics at play in the industry and the challenges individuals may face when bringing allegations against prominent figures.

00:15:22The situation remains fluid, with new developments emerging as the case progresses.

00:15:26Both parties are expected to present further evidence to support their claims,

00:15:30and the legal stuff may uncover additional facets of the story that have yet to be revealed.

00:15:34As such, the entertainment industry is bracing for the potential impact of the case's outcome and its practices on culture.

00:15:41Ultimately, the resolution of this dispute will not only affect Blake and Justin directly,

00:15:46but may also influence broader conversations about accountability and conduct within Hollywood.

00:15:52Leaked footage just dropped of Justin Baldoni that proves that Blake Lively was right about him.

00:15:57The legal war has begun between actress Blake Lively and her co-star Justin Baldoni.

00:16:03Blake Lively's suing the film's director and her co-star Justin Baldoni.

00:16:08I'm gonna take it very very seriously.

00:16:09If I was his PR management team, I'd be scrambling for new talking points because this is looking beyond bad for him.

00:16:16Mr. Baldoni's legal team told BBC the allegations are categorically false.

00:16:21Justin Baldoni's past confessions about his struggles with adult media are suddenly back in the spotlight and not in a good way.

00:16:27Thanks to Blake Lively's recent accusations, his words from a 2021 interview on Sarah Grinberg's A Life of Greatness podcast have resurfaced.

00:16:36But this time they're fueling a much darker narrative.

00:16:39Back then, Justin had opened up about a personal and deeply vulnerable topic.

00:16:44His introduction to adult media at just 10 years old.

00:16:47For the 10-year-old who found porn for the first time before he was ready.

00:16:52It was a revelation that had people talking for all the right reasons until now.

00:16:56See, Justin had described how stumbling upon adult content at such a young age left a lasting impact,

00:17:02creating what he later recognized as patterns in his life.

00:17:06It was long before I even understood what I was feeling.

00:17:09He said in the interview, reflecting on how something so taboo became so intriguing.

00:17:14When something is off limits, it naturally becomes appealing.

00:17:17That's just human nature.

00:17:18He explained, candidly addressing how the secrecy surrounding it heightened its allure.

00:17:23Over time, he admitted this fascination evolved into a coping mechanism, his way of dealing with feelings of loneliness.

00:17:29I trained my brain to deal with tough emotions by chasing that rush.

00:17:33Justin confessed, openly acknowledging the way it shaped him over the years.

00:17:37By admitting that you are sad or needing help is to then

00:17:42admit that you are not a man. At the time, these admissions were seen as introspective and honest.

00:17:48People applauded him for his willingness to talk openly about something so personal,

00:17:53especially in an industry where carefully curated images often went out over real vulnerability.

00:17:58But fast forward to today and those same reflections are being seen in a completely different light.

00:18:04Blake's lawsuit against Justin isn't just about on-set disagreements.

00:18:08It's about boundary-crossing behavior that, according to her, went far beyond anything remotely professional.

00:18:14Suddenly, the past Justin laid bare isn't helping his case. It's only adding more weight to Blake's allegations.

00:18:20According to Blake's legal complaint,

00:18:23Justin's actions on the set of It Ends With Us created a work environment so uncomfortable,

00:18:28it triggered an emergency HR meeting. And this wasn't just an internal HR issue.

00:18:33Blake's husband, Ryan Reynolds, reportedly had to get involved to make sure her concerns weren't ignored.

00:18:39The documents Blake filed outlined multiple instances where Justin was allegedly warned to stop making personal comments about her appearance or family.

00:18:47He was also told to steer clear of bringing up his adult media history around her,

00:18:52boundaries that Blake says he didn't respect. Blake's claims go even further, accusing Justin of trying to push

00:18:57unapproved script changes that would have taken the film in an entirely different direction.

00:19:02She described the proposed changes as excessive, saying they went far beyond what the original tone of the story was going for.

00:19:09Things got so bad, Blake reportedly demanded stricter protocols on set,

00:19:13including hiring an intimacy coordinator to ensure boundaries were respected. But even with those measures in place,

00:19:19she alleges that Justin continued to test limits, creating what she described as an increasingly

00:19:25unstable atmosphere. And as if the alleged on-set behavior wasn't enough,

00:19:30Blake's lawsuit also pulls back the curtain on what she claims was a deliberate effort to damage her reputation.

00:19:36She accuses Justin and his PR team of planting stories in the media to paint her as difficult to work with.

00:19:41The legal filing even includes text messages between two PR executives that sound more like something out of a reality show than professional

00:19:49correspondence. In one alleged exchange, PR executive Melissa Nathan

00:19:53reportedly joked about sending Blake as a present in a box, to which publicist Jennifer Abel casually replied,

00:19:59Dang it. Blake's team points to this as proof of the hostility she faced,

00:20:04arguing that it reflected the broader effort to undermine her, and the damage didn't stop behind closed doors.

00:20:09Blake's lawsuit claims that Justin's team also targeted her during the It Ends With Us promotional campaign.

00:20:15Interviews that sparked criticism of Blake as being tone-deaf or disconnected from the movie's themes,

00:20:20well, according to her legal team, they weren't entirely organic. The lawsuit includes text messages suggesting that Justin's team

00:20:27discussed ways to amplify negative reactions to Blake's media appearances,

00:20:32effectively shifting public perception in his favor. One alleged message even had Justin asking,

00:20:37What is the TikTok strategy? A question Blake's team says highlights how calculated the efforts were to reframe the narrative around the film

00:20:44and its stars. On top of all of this, Blake's lawsuit details what she describes as

00:20:49unsettling behavior from Justin behind the scenes.

00:20:51She accuses him of repeatedly entering her trailer without being invited, often during private moments.

00:20:57She also claims he lingered uncomfortably during close contact scenes, despite the HR interventions and the presence of the intimacy coordinator

00:21:05she had specifically requested. At one point, Blake says Justin crossed yet another line by showing her a personal video,

00:21:12something she felt was completely out of line in a professional setting. These incidents Blake alleges were part of a larger pattern of behavior

00:21:20that made her working conditions

00:21:22intolerable. While Justin's admissions once painted him as someone trying to come to terms with his past,

00:21:27they now risk being seen as foreshadowing, a glimpse into behavior that, if Blake's allegations are true,

00:21:33spilled over into his professional life in different ways.

00:21:36The lawsuit has already sparked heated discussions in Hollywood, with many wondering how much of this will lead to real

00:21:42accountability and how much will simply be swept under the rug.

00:21:46But the fallout of these accusations isn't just limited to Blake and Justin. It's sending ripples throughout Hollywood.

00:21:52WME, the powerhouse talent agency that represented both actors, wasted no time making their stance clear.

00:21:58Justin dropped. Blake, still firmly on their roster. That divide has become a talking point of its own,

00:22:05signaling where industry loyalties might lie as this legal drama heats up. For Justin, losing WME is more than just a slap on the wrist.

00:22:14It's a massive professional blow,

00:22:15especially for someone who's been trying to carve out a space for himself as both an actor and a director.

00:22:20And, of course, Justin isn't staying silent. His lawyer, Brian Friedman, has come out swinging with a fiery statement that accuses Blake of using

00:22:28her lawsuit to save face. Friedman didn't mince words, calling her claims categorically false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious.

00:22:35He went on to suggest that Blake's lawsuit is less about justice and more about a PR strategy to repair her image,

00:22:42claiming that her behavior on set contributed to tensions during the production.

00:22:45But it doesn't stop there. Friedman's counterattack also takes aim at Blake's alleged behind-the-scenes moves.

00:22:51He claims that Blake has her own PR team working overtime to plant damaging stories about Justin and Wayfarer Studios,

00:22:58which is the production company behind It Ends With Us.

00:23:01According to Friedman, the so-called evidence Blake has included in her legal filings, such as those damning text messages, has been carefully

00:23:08cherry-picked and completely taken out of context. His argument was that what she was framing as a smear campaign

00:23:14is really just standard PR strategy, the kind of stuff that happens all the time in Hollywood.

00:23:19But it seems really weird to say it's just standard PR strategy

00:23:23when one of your managers is telling a publicist that they might ship Blake Lively in a box as a present.

00:23:30I mean, that's just strange. Meanwhile, Blake is holding her ground and then some.

00:23:34She's made it clear that this legal action isn't just about her,

00:23:37it's about something much bigger. In a public statement released alongside her lawsuit,

00:23:42Blake framed herself as a whistleblower for change in an industry that, let's face it,

00:23:46has a long history of sweeping these kinds of accusations under the rug.

00:23:50This isn't just about me. It's about protecting others who may feel powerless to defend themselves. Blake said,

00:23:56positioning her case as a rallying cry for accountability. Her lawsuit doesn't just focus on Justin's alleged actions,

00:24:03it also shines a light on how Hollywood handles, or fails to handle, conflicts like these. By stepping forward,

00:24:09Blake has forced uncomfortable conversations about the power dynamics,

00:24:12reputation politics, and workplace dynamics that so often go unchecked in the entertainment world.

00:24:18Her choice to go public with these allegations has drawn a lot of attention, with some calling it a brave stand against unstable practices

00:24:25and others questioning the motives on both sides. What's clear, though, is that Blake isn't backing down.

00:24:30She's using her platform to call out to not just Justin, but also the broader culture that allows boundary pushing behavior to persist

00:24:37unchecked in one of the world's most glamorous industries. Blake Lively isn't the nicest celeb on the planet.

00:24:44We know this from her interviews and reported conduct that recently came out about her.

00:24:48Well, there's only one thing we can do about it, and that's compile a list.

00:24:52These are some of Blake Lively's rudest moments caught on camera. The notorious interview. When reporter Kiersey Flaw

00:25:00congratulated a pregnant Blake Lively in 2016 during an interview on her little bump, Blake retorted with a snarky

00:25:06Congrats on your little bump. First of all, congrats on your little bump.

00:25:11Congrats on your little bump. An agitated Flaw, who wasn't pregnant,

00:25:15giggled uneasily as Blake Lively and co-star Parker Posey continued to make small talk.

00:25:21Turning to Posey, Lively said, everyone wants to ask about the clothes,

00:25:25but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes.

00:25:27She was being asked about the period costumes for the Woody Allen movie. Flaw looked on nervously as the two in typical

00:25:34mean girl way disregarded the reporter and talked about what the males wore in the movie. His wardrobe was beautiful.

00:25:40They literally pretended the interviewer doesn't exist. This is just a 101 high school tactic.

00:25:46A YouTuber replied. Another wrote, I think it's crazy how Blake calls herself a feminist yet

00:25:52goes after a fellow woman on her body when the woman was clearly congratulating her. After the clip went viral, Flaw told the Daily Mail,

00:25:59I was there so they could promote a movie. I was invited to meet them. It certainly did not feel like that.

00:26:04I felt belittled and ignored and it made me question if I ever wanted to do these types of interviews again.

00:26:10She further disclosed that her inability to conceive made the little bump remark very upsetting.

00:26:15I didn't know how to react.

00:26:16I felt very uncomfortable throughout the interview and all I wanted to do was leave and get out of there as fast as I could.

00:26:22Flaw shared. She dismissed the themes of her newest movie.

00:26:26One of the many troubling aspects surrounding the promotion of It Ends With Us has been the lack of seriousness

00:26:32given to the topic of DV,

00:26:34particularly in the case of Blake Lively. As she and her co-star Brandon Sklenar spoke with reporter Jake Hamilton,

00:26:40Blake Lively was asked how fans of the film may get in touch with her

00:26:44if they saw her out in public. Like asking for my address or my phone number or like my location share.

00:26:50I could just location share you, she joked. Or like my location share.

00:26:54I could just location share you. Her initial response to the first question is so out of touch, a fan stated.

00:27:00The subject of DV clearly has too much depth for her.

00:27:03They're all talking about getting emotional over the project and she's talking about looking pretty while crying.

00:27:09Just do everyone a favor and leave the promotion to Justin, another replied. When Lively shared a Q&A

00:27:14she conducted with It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover and her cast mates Jenny Slate and Isabella Ferrer,

00:27:20she came under further criticism. Rather than talking about the movie's somber content,

00:27:25they engaged in a light-hearted conversation about things like zodiac signs. This is shameful.

00:27:30I don't understand why everyone's laughing and no one mentioned DV even once, an Instagram user commented.

00:27:36The film deals with a very serious thing, which is DV, and she is talking as if it were a romantic film, another said.

00:27:43She said that pregnancy cravings aren't real. Is Blake Lively sensitive to the topic of pregnancy or was she just having fun?

00:27:51Blake Lively was asked how she was doing by Extra while she was pregnant with her first child, James, via TikTok.

00:27:57Ryan Ronald's wife was seven months pregnant and in need of foot rubs. Oh, she's just taking advantage, Lively chuckled.

00:28:03You're a sucker. You can't fall for that stuff. Cravings? Nah.

00:28:07She continued. After claiming that women fabricate pregnant desires in order to obtain what they desire,

00:28:13the actor clarified that she was making a joke. A user on TikTok remarked,

00:28:17When I was pregnant, I wanted mashed potatoes every day. In the two years I've had my daughter,

00:28:22I've had mashed potatoes four to five times. I'm glad I'm finding out cravings aren't a thing. Thanks, Blake. Another quipped,

00:28:28I'm starting to think she probably doesn't know how to interview. P.S.

00:28:32My feet hurt all the time. Lively admitted to having cravings for her fourth pregnancy,

00:28:36even though she didn't have any at the time.

00:28:39She posted a picture of an opulent pastrami and cheese sandwich from a New Orleans restaurant, according to Us Weekly.

00:28:45Tell me you're pregnant without telling me you're pregnant, she wrote.

00:28:48I hope she didn't use her husband,

00:28:50Ryan Reynolds, as an excuse to force him to take an early night flight to New Orleans in order to sate her appetite.

00:28:56Kate Middleton was ridiculed by her. Following the release of a digitally manipulated family portrait,

00:29:02including Kate Middleton and her three children,

00:29:04there was a great deal of conjecture. Per NBC News, a few days later, Blake Lively shared a photo in a now-deleted

00:29:10Instagram post that was obviously edited with the caption,

00:29:13I'm so excited to share this new photo I just took today to announce our four new Betty Buzz and Betty Boo's products.

00:29:20Now you know why I've been MIA. After Middleton revealed her cancer diagnosis,

00:29:25Lively said in a seemingly playful post,

00:29:28I made a silly post around the Photoshop fails frenzy, and oh man, that post has me mortified today.

00:29:34I'm sorry. Sending love and well wishes to all, always.

00:29:38She posted her Photoshop fail joke about Princess Kate and now is mortified.

00:29:42She thought it was okay to take a jab at a mother of three,

00:29:46recovering from an unknown surgery because other celebrities were. Tall tale of a follower, a Reddit user posted.

00:29:52A fan commented, poor judgment coming from a grown woman with children of her own in a celebrity family. Not even funny,

00:29:59no purpose for posting. She promoted her brands during her press tour.

00:30:04People, prepare for more tone-deaf moments from Blake Lively.

00:30:07She not only seized the chance to make It Ends With Us about her style,

00:30:11but the performer also utilized the film to advertise Betty Boo's, her line of beverages.

00:30:16I've got a dream. When your company throws a florist themed party for your movie, at It Ends With Us movie,

00:30:22I love the bottles as tiny as vases. Thank you team.

00:30:26She gushed on Instagram while standing in front of a floral wall in a bright pink outfit.

00:30:31Once more, the glitzy visuals didn't fit the mood of the film, and a lot of DV sufferers

00:30:36criticized her for endorsing beverages, which is connected to certain behaviors. That same day, Lively advertised for Blake Brown, her hair care line,

00:30:44which is another one of her brands. Seven years and thousands of washes later,

00:30:48Blake Brown Beauty is finally available in Target stores nationwide.

00:30:53Eight hard-working products for great hair days. We can't wait for you to try them, smell them, live in them.

00:30:58She shared on Instagram. Although she made no mention of It Ends With Us, fans criticized her for promoting her products rather than raising awareness of DV.

00:31:06Disappointed that you're promoting your own hair care products and flower dresses rather than shining more light on DV,

00:31:13considering you're acting in a movie about it, an Instagram user replied.

00:31:16Things Justin Baldoni did to Blake Lively. Adding scenes.

00:31:21According to Blake Lively's lawsuit, concerns about Justin Baldoni's creative decisions arose even before filming for It Ends With Us began.

00:31:29Blake strongly opposed his proposed addition of scenes, describing them as unnecessary.

00:31:34The legal documents included a specific request to halt further attempts to add elements to the film.

00:31:39This included a stipulation that no new scenes, depictions of certain acts, or on-camera

00:31:45completions involving Blake would be introduced beyond what had been approved when she initially signed on to the project.

00:31:51Blake also alleged that Justin initiated unwanted physical contact during their scenes.

00:31:56This included discussions of his own life and instances where consent may not have been respected. The lawsuit describes how Justin introduced physical

00:32:03aspects that had not been rehearsed,

00:32:05choreographed, or discussed with her in advance. For example, during one scene,

00:32:10Justin reportedly bit and sucked on Blake's lower lip and improvised multiple smooches during each take.

00:32:17And that just gives me shivers all over thinking about it.

00:32:20Furthermore, he allegedly insisted on repeating the scene far more times than what would be typically required on a professional set,

00:32:26doing so without prior notice or her consent.

00:32:29Another incident involved Justin pressuring Blake to remove portions of her costume for a childbirth scene.

00:32:35He allegedly told her it was unrealistic for her character to remain that dressed up during labor,

00:32:40citing personal anecdotes about his wife doing the same during childbirth. Although Blake disagreed,

00:32:45she claims she ultimately felt forced to compromise by appearing that way for the scene.

00:32:50This dude needs serious help and probably a cell somewhere. His habits and other behavior. Blake Lively's lawsuit

00:32:56also highlights instances of Justin's remarks and behaviors on set. A meeting was reportedly held in January 2024

00:33:03to address her mounting concerns about the production. Her husband,

00:33:07Ryan Reynolds, attended alongside her to ensure her demands were addressed. Among the conditions discussed were requests to stop showing Blake

00:33:15weird videos or weird images of women to avoid mentioning Justin's alleged habits and to cease

00:33:21conversations about conquests in front of Blake and the cast and crew.

00:33:25Additional boundaries included avoiding comments about Blake's size and refraining from bringing up personal topics such as her father.

00:33:32Blake claims that the film's producer, Jamie Heath, also engaged in weirdo conduct.

00:33:37According to her, Heath once entered her trailer and watched her while her body makeup was being removed,

00:33:42despite her clear request for privacy. Both Justin and Heath allegedly entered her makeup trailer at other times while she was feeding her baby

00:33:49or not ready to be looked at, further adding to her woes. In response to Blake's complaints,

00:33:55the production company Wayfarer agreed to implement new safety measures.

00:33:58They issued a statement affirming their commitment to maintaining a secure work environment,

00:34:02even while noting differences in their perspectives during the incidents. Blake later acknowledged that the

00:34:07implementation of these changes had led to some improvements in on-set behavior by the spring. Breaking character during filming.

00:34:14Another claim in the lawsuit involves an incident during a rooftop dance scene.

00:34:18While filming, Justin allegedly broke character to engage in behavior that Blake found strange. According to the lawsuit,

00:34:24he leaned forward and dragged his lips from her ear to her neck, commenting on how she smelled. This interaction was reportedly

00:34:31unscripted and had no connection to the scene or dialogue being filmed. The legal documents describe it as a personal gesture rather than an

00:34:38in-character action. When Blake objected to this behavior later, Justin reportedly dismissed her concerns, claiming he wasn't even attracted to her.

00:34:46Yeah, that'll do it, man. The remarks he made when she was postpartum. Blake Lively also accuses Justin of making remarks about her size

00:34:53shortly after she had given birth to her fourth child. The lawsuit states that just weeks before filming,

00:34:59Justin contacted Blake's personal trainer without her knowledge. During this conversation,

00:35:04he allegedly implied that Blake needed to move a few sizes down the chart within two weeks, using a scene where he would need to

00:35:10lift her as justification. However, there was no such scene ever planned for the film.

00:35:15The situation worsened when Blake later contracted strep throat. According to her lawsuit, Justin suggested a health expert to help her recover,

00:35:23presenting it as a kind gesture. However, when Blake reviewed the privacy forms,

00:35:27she discovered that the expert was actually a size loss specialist,

00:35:31leading her to believe the suggestion was motivated by his ongoing focus on her appearance. Social media campaign to ruin her reputation.

00:35:39Blake's lawsuit also accuses Justin of orchestrating a deliberate campaign to harm her reputation through social media manipulation.

00:35:46The documents include thousands of text messages and emails obtained via subpoena, which allegedly revealed Justin's team

00:35:52collaborating with a management expert. One particularly alarming message involves a publicist discussing strategies to

00:35:59bury Blake's public image. Another aspect of this campaign allegedly involved

00:36:04astroturfing, a tactic where fake opinions are posted online to appear as though they came from real users.

00:36:09Justin also reportedly referred to online posts targeting other celebrities as inspiration for his campaign. In one instance,

00:36:16he referenced a thread accusing Hailey Bieber of being mean, describing it as the kind of narrative

00:36:21he wanted to achieve. Additionally, his team allegedly discussed using feminism as a tool, citing Taylor Swift as an example in their strategy.

00:36:28Amid this fallout, Justin is said to have altered his social media approach after the firm's premiere,

00:36:33shifting focus towards survivor advocacy and other themes relating to the movie content to rehabilitate his image.

00:36:40His team reportedly advised against such an abrupt change in strategy,

00:36:44but Justin insisted on continuing with the new narrative, claiming contact with Blake's late father.

00:36:49This one is wild. Blake Lively alleges that Justin Baldoni engaged in behavior

00:36:54she couldn't even believe, including claims that he could communicate with her late father.

00:36:59Justin allegedly told her on multiple occasions that he had spoken with her father, Ernie Blake, who passed away in June 2021.

00:37:07According to the complaint, Blake found these statements deeply invasive, particularly given the personal nature of the loss.

00:37:13Excessive physical contact on set. The lawsuit states that both Justin and producer Jamie Heath

00:37:19frequently hugged or touched cast or crew members. Blake claims that when she or others avoided these interactions,

00:37:25the two men would respond with irritation or hostility. The result was described as an unpredictable and

00:37:31unwelcoming environment that made collaboration difficult for Blake and her team. Comments on women's appearance.

00:37:38Blake alleges that Justin regularly referred to women in the workplace by certain adjectives, brushing off their discomfort with dismissive remarks.

00:37:45In one instance,

00:37:46he complimented a female cast member's leather pants as looking beyond nice, and when she objected,

00:37:52he excused the behavior by saying, I can say that because my wife is here. Is Justin sane?

00:37:57Blake herself experienced similar comments. While wearing a low-cut dress under a coat for easily being able to feed her child,

00:38:05Justin allegedly pressured her to remove the coat on set, saying he wanted to see her outfit.

00:38:09According to Blake, when she refused, Justin described her appearance as good-looking and later sarcastically remarked,

00:38:15I guess I missed the HR meeting. Other female cast members reportedly shared similar experiences of unwanted remarks from Justin.

00:38:22Another complaint. The lawsuit cites additional complaints against Justin from other cast members. On May 29th, 2023,

00:38:29one actress reportedly filed a formal complaint about Justin's gross and unwanted comments.

00:38:35Earlier in the production, another actress raised concerns about his remarks on her appearance. While Justin initially acknowledged her concerns,

00:38:41Blake claims that the actress later confided in her, saying that she could no longer engage with him outside of scenes.

00:38:47Impact on Blake's family. Blake's legal documents describe the toll Justin's alleged behavior has taken on her, her husband,

00:38:54Ryan Reynolds, and their children. Blake reportedly had plenty of feelings that affected her ability to function in her personal and professional life.

00:39:02Her family, including her children, allegedly experienced significant upheaval due to the surrounding situation. Professional and financial damages.

00:39:10Blake claims that the whole thing led to substantial professional setbacks.

00:39:14She withdrew from hosting the highly anticipated Saturday Night Live season 50 premiere and canceled key events,

00:39:20including a corporate engagement for her hair care line, Blake Brown Beauty.

00:39:24The lawsuit also alleges significant financial losses for her businesses. Initially, Blake Brown was reportedly Target's most successful hair care launch,

00:39:32but the social manipulation campaign allegedly caused sales to plummet by 56%

00:39:37to 78%.

00:39:38Additionally, Blake's other brands, Betty Buzz and Betty Booz, faced online trolling, forcing them to pause social media activity,

00:39:45which negatively impacted their business operations, as you can imagine. Blake Lively's got a lot to apologize for, and she seemingly doesn't want to,

00:39:53especially to that interviewer. Let me explain how Blake Lively refuses to apologize for being rude to an interviewer.

00:39:59First of all, congrats on your little bump.

00:40:02Congrats on your little bump.

00:40:03Blake Lively hasn't apologized, according to the Entertainment Reporter, who almost quit her job after a nightmare interview went viral for all the wrong reasons.

00:40:12Hi, everyone. Uh, this has been a really crazy week for me. Kiersey Flaw discussed the incident on our YouTube channel very recently.

00:40:20In 2016, the actress publicly complimented Lively on her little bump, only for Lively to coldly respond.

00:40:27Flaw said that it took her a while to actually get over it. Flaw has now disclosed that she is infertile.

00:40:33It affected me for a while, because it made me nervous when I was interviewing other people after that,

00:40:38and I blamed myself for it for a long time, because I felt like I did or said something wrong,

00:40:43the celebrity journalist shared. This comes right after her less-than-stellar press tour for her new movie,

00:40:49It Ends With Us. The interview between Ryan Reynolds and co-star Brandon Slenar for Blake Lively's It Ends With Us marketing was absurd.

00:40:57What are you doing? This isn't Deadpool. Why are you trying to be funny?

00:41:00One of Ryan Reynolds' Instagram followers wrote in response to the video,

00:41:03fans of Blake, meantime, were baffled as to why there was never a video on her account talking about the concepts shown in the movie,

00:41:10because it's a pretty deep movie. As a result of the continuous debate concerning Blake's subpar marketing, Flaw uploaded a video on YouTube

00:41:18titled the Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job. In an interview with ET,

00:41:23Blake talked excitedly about the vintage Britney Spears outfit

00:41:26she wore to the It Ends With Us premiere. Still, when Flaw tried to talk to her about her Cafe Society attire,

00:41:32she got defensive. Everyone wants to talk about the clothes,

00:41:35but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes, said Blake, turning from Flaw to her co-star Parker Posey.

00:41:41That's the reason Flaw waited so long to share a video of the sit-down, which featured Parker Posey,

00:41:46Lively's co-star from Cafe Society. When Flaw posted the horrific interview,

00:41:50she said she hadn't read up on all the other stuff surrounding Lively and her new film, It Ends With Us, and it was just a coincidence.

00:41:57During their conversation, Flaw believed that Lively was displaying mean girl energy, stating that it made her feel left out.

00:42:04She continued by expressing her gratitude to the thousands of people who had reached out to her with supportive notes

00:42:09ever since the sit-down became public. She asserted that Lively is not one of them.

00:42:13No one came out and apologized and they probably told her, don't come out and say sorry, don't react, don't do anything.

00:42:19We'll take care of this for you.

00:42:21We'll just say that it's the journalist's fault and that you were offended by her and then we'll just plant some other good positive stories.

00:42:28Theoretically, Flaw said, I think that's the problem. Flaw feels that many Hollywood A-listers don't own up to their mistakes because they're afraid that

00:42:35it's going to backfire or that it's going to make them look bad, noting, it's time to change that.

00:42:41I think if Blake Lively would have come out in front of this,

00:42:43she said, things would have been very different. Blake has nevertheless shown that she is capable of expressing regret for her deeds.

00:42:51She regretted her quip about Kate Middleton being away from the public view and confessed that she and Ryan Reynolds made a mistake in

00:42:57their plantation wedding. Blake Lively's had a good run in Hollywood, but has her past caught up to her?

00:43:02It's possible that not even her hubby Ryan Reynolds can save her from the scrutiny now. What is the next five years?

00:43:10The internet is seriously sick of Blake Lively and her tone-deaf publicity tour for her movie

00:43:16It Ends With Us has brought attention to some of her previous headlining moments.

00:43:21The movie is based on the best-selling book by Colleen Hoover about a woman who is trying to escape a cycle in a relationship

00:43:27she no longer wants. I want to see you again.

00:43:30Now you see me. You know what I mean.

00:43:33Some viewers, meanwhile, believe Blake played down the delicate subject matter of the film and

00:43:39pretended to be advertising a totally unrelated one. In an attempt to draw attention to her movie, Blake staged an unending

00:43:46procession of floral ensembles, drawing inspiration from her persona as Lily Bloom, the proprietor of a flower shop.

00:43:53She was accused of behaving as though she was marketing the Barbie movie and a playful promo on the It Ends With Us

00:44:00Instagram page really had people up in arms. Grab your friends, wear your florals, and head out to see it, Blake says.

00:44:06Wear your florals? Is she kidding us?

00:44:08This is a DV movie, not Gossip Girl. One commenter on the video said,

00:44:13The drama surrounding It Ends With Us has been all over social media. In addition,

00:44:17there's her hover husband. The egos of Blake and Ryan Reynolds were very visible before the film's release.

00:44:23Their use of Blake's promotional tour to promote her hair care business and Ryan's film, Deadpool and Wolverine,

00:44:29garnered criticism.

00:44:31Hugh Jackman, who co-starred with Ryan Reynolds, even posed with the couple on the pink carpet at the NYC premiere of It Ends With Us.

00:44:38Some fans' opinions of Blake has also been damaged by a poorly received joke about a missing royal

00:44:44and an old interview that has surfaced. In Blake Lively's It Ends With Us promotion,

00:44:49Ryan Reynolds and co-star Brandon Sklenar had a ridiculous interview.

00:44:53Oh, God. This is cool. It's not every day the husband gets to-

00:44:57WTF are you doing? This isn't Deadpool. Why are you trying to be funny?

00:45:01One of Ryan Reynolds' Instagram followers wrote in response to the video,

00:45:05Meanwhile, Blake's fans were perplexed as to why there was never a video on her account discussing the themes portrayed in the film.

00:45:12She joined Colleen Hoover for a conversation in the tape about subjects like

00:45:16Zodiac signs, along with her co-stars Isabella Farrer and Jenny Slate. You guys, we talked about our movie not at all.

00:45:24Thanks for joining us. Blake concluded their female talk with a joke. In 2016, reporter Kirstie Flaw

00:45:31undoubtedly would have loved to talk to Blake when she was that silly, giddy person.

00:45:35The ongoing discussion around Blake's poor marketing led to Flaw posting a video on YouTube

00:45:40with the title, The Blake Lively Interview That Made Me Want To Quit My Job. Blake enthusiastically

00:45:45spoke about the vintage Britney Spears dress she wore to the It Ends With Us premiere in an interview with ET.

00:45:51She became defensive, nevertheless, when Flaw attempted to discuss her Cafe Society outfits with her.

00:45:57Blake turned to face her co-star Parker Posey instead of Flaw, saying,

00:46:02Everyone wants to talk about the clothes, but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes.

00:46:07There's no doubt that Blake Lively owes Kirstie Flaw an apology for making a bad joke about her.

00:46:12Flaw mentioned Blake's pregnancy during their conversation, stating, Congrats on your little bump. Addressing the reporter who wasn't pregnant,

00:46:19Blake angrily shot out, Congrats on your little bump.

00:46:22Remarkably, TMZ said that Blake was not thrilled with her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni,

00:46:28because she thought he was making fun of her. Because of his alleged ailing back,

00:46:32he was concerned that picking her up in one scene would make it worse.

00:46:35However, Blake has demonstrated that she is able to express regret for her actions.

00:46:40She and Ryan Reynolds have expressed remorse for their plantation wedding,

00:46:44and she acknowledged that her joke about Kate Middleton's removal from the public eye was a royal screw-up.

00:46:50Additionally, Blake made fun of the photoshopped photo that Kate had released on Mother's Day by sharing her own digitally altered photo on Instagram.

00:46:58I'm so excited to share this new photo

00:47:00I just took today to announce our four new Betty Buzz and Betty Boo's products. Now, you know why I've been MIA.

00:47:07She wrote, Blake took down the advertisement for her Betty Buzz drink brand after finding out that Kate was battling cancer.

00:47:14Oh, man, that post has me mortified today. She wrote on her Instagram story,

00:47:18I'm sorry. Everyone is freaking out about Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Some say there's definitely trouble in paradise.

00:47:24Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have the perfect marriage.

00:47:27At least that's what some of their fans believe. Since tying the knot on September 9th, 2012,

00:47:31the couple has astounded the public with their heartwarming displays of outward affection.

00:47:36Thank you to my husband. He's everything to me. You can't have him. He's mine.

00:47:41Ryan has grown particularly famous for the sappy expressions of love that he shows to his wife.

00:47:46You've made me the father of my dreams when I thought I only had fun uncle potential. In 2023,

00:47:51he celebrated Blake's 36th birthday on an Instagram post, which he declared,

00:47:56the only thing irrevocably mine in the world is the love and appreciation and awe I feel for this person.

00:48:00Witnessing her life is something I couldn't take for granted, even if I tried. And believe me, I try. So freaking cute.

00:48:07Although even though they're very much in love, fans are questioning things due to a few theories.

00:48:12I'm going to dive in, give you the gossip, and let you know the tea.

00:48:15An anonymous source told Raider Online that Blake and Ryan simply could not balance their personal career

00:48:20ambitions with their desire to spend time together as a couple. They've completely drifted apart,

00:48:25they're both focused on their careers, and they have no time for each other, the source relayed.

00:48:29Although the rumors surrounding Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' relationship happened in 2024,

00:48:34there have long been questions about the couple's compatibility.

00:48:37Some moviegoers even questioned the duo's chemistry as far back as 2011.

00:48:41Apparently, Ryan and Blake's on-screen performance in the action movie Green Lantern left a lot to be desired in terms of their rapport.

00:48:48Some film buffs even questioned the couple's ability to connect. Writing on Reddit, one film fan shared,

00:48:53I'm actually one of those weird people who liked Green Lantern,

00:48:56but by far the worst problem I had was there was no chemistry between the two leads, Ryan and Blake. The fan went on to

00:49:03express surprise concerning the couple's real-life romance, asking, how is something like this even possible? I'm stunned.

00:49:09Of course, it's important to remember that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively were not in any sort of romantic relationship at the time

00:49:14they started filming Green Lantern in 2010.

00:49:16In fact, they met for the first time on the set of this movie,

00:49:19meaning they still hadn't even had the chance to develop much of a bond.

00:49:22Even Ryan himself told Sirius XM that him and Blake were just buddies in those early days.

00:49:27That being said, these acknowledgment of the couple's chemistries

00:49:31might lead some fans to believe that they are lacking in the romance department that a couple needs to survive.

00:49:36Despite the unnecessary comments surrounding their chemistry, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively got married in 2012.

00:49:43However, whereas many couples head straight from their weddings to their honeymoon, Ryan and Blake did not have that luxury.

00:49:49Due to the demanding nature of their careers,

00:49:52they tried to balance their filming commitments with their honeymoon expectations.

00:49:56Directly following their wedding, they squeezed in a quick getaway to Little Washington, Virginia.

00:50:01They kept their stay to a minimum though, as Blake needed to rush back to the set of Gossip Girl.

00:50:05These scheduling difficulties may indicate that Blake and Ryan don't always have a lot of time for love and romance.

00:50:11Thanks to their demanding work commitments, they might not always be able to find sufficient time together.

00:50:16It's said that Ryan and Blake can get competitive with each other,

00:50:19especially in terms of who makes the best movies. Blake opened up about this complicated dynamic in a 2024 interview with Hart,

00:50:26commenting on the rivalry between their films.

00:50:29It ends with us and Deadpool and Wolverine. The actor declared that she had won the competition because she was technically in both movies.

00:50:37As light-hearted as these comments were, however, some sources say that the competition between Lively and Reynolds can really heat up.

00:50:43An anonymous source told Raider Online, Blake and Ryan's career rivalry is a problem.

00:50:48Although it is difficult to say whether this is actually true,

00:50:51we can imagine that Blake and Ryan's best movie contests grow pretty passionate.

00:50:55One of the toughest moments for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds appears to be part of their jobs.

00:51:00Over the years, the couple has clashed a bit on the red carpet due to different dispositions.

00:51:04While Blake has long held the reputation for being the star of the show,

00:51:07Ryan has not always seemed too keen on spending time in front of the cameras. On August 6, 2024,

00:51:13the couple made an appearance together at the It Ends With Us premiere. Halfway through their red carpet walk, however,

00:51:18Ryan stopped Blake and whispered something to her. Professional lip reader Nicola Hickling

00:51:24exclusively told The List that Ryan Reynolds expressed his impatience at the premiere. She revealed that he asked,

00:51:31Is this the last time?

00:51:32Apparently, this comment was probably in reference to posing for photos on the red carpet.

00:51:37All in all, this moment shows that the couple might clash a little on the red carpet as Blake potentially pushes

00:51:42Ryan to spend more time posing for photos. It's not possible that the latter does not feel particularly at ease.

00:51:48This dynamic could certainly add tension to their marriage.

00:51:51Another point of reference in Blake Lively's marriage with Ryan Reynolds may be the couple's relationship with public displays of affection.

00:51:57Although Ryan has historically showered his wife with public words of affirmation,

00:52:02evidence does indicate that he might not be as comfortable showing physical affection in public settings.

00:52:07Blake Lively can't seem to get rid of these rumors and it really just keeps piling on.

00:52:11Things are getting worse for Blake Lively.

00:52:18Right now, Blake Lively is in an enormous PR storm.

00:52:22The most popular actress on the internet has become the target of public opinion due to a number of resurface interviews that showed less than

00:52:30stellar moments throughout continuing It Ends With Us issues.

00:52:33The actress has come under fire for making fun of people who have transitioned in previous interviews. Her usage of the term

00:52:39T-R-A-N-N-Y,

00:52:41which some trans people believe to be not very nice, has drawn a lot of backlash from fans.

00:52:47Had tons of plastic surgery and were actually men and trannies.

00:52:51Which some people who have transitioned believe to be not very nice has drawn a lot of backlash from fans.

00:52:57These uncovered clips have sparked talks on the internet due to their dubious remarks and apparent nature.

00:53:02Even though the information was meant to be innocuous, many people found it unsavory. The actress said the phrase in a

00:53:082009 interview with Allure to talk about her on the Gossip Girl set. According to reports,

00:53:13she stated,

00:53:31It turns out though that the actress said that term again in a 2012 Elle magazine interview.

00:53:37I hope to have a few girls one day.

00:53:39If not girls, they better be T-words because I have some amazing shoes and bags and stories that need to be

00:53:45appreciated, is what she said. In addition,

00:53:47the phrase is said to have been used by the actress in a number of earlier interviews that are currently being shared.

00:53:53Particularly considering that she is already entangled in a web of continuous discussion,

00:53:58the reappearance of these clips is undoubtedly not good for her public image.

00:54:02This comes right after the talk around It Ends With Us that started when a journalist posted their nightmare

00:54:07interview with Blake Lively on YouTube. In a nutshell, Blake Lively's light-hearted promotional strategy for the film,

00:54:13which is an adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 2016 novel, has drawn attention from the internet. Many people found it weird,

00:54:19especially because she was promoting her new hair care product, Blake Brown.

00:54:23Not only that, but she further incited the discussion by using themed cocktails like Ryle You Wait,

00:54:29which was named after the bad acting character in the narrative, to market her beverage firm, Betty Buzz. Amid all of this, Norwegian journalist

00:54:36Kirstie Flaa posted footage from an interview she did in 2016 with the actress, saying it made her want to quit her work.

00:54:42Flaa praised Lively on her little bump during the marketing of her Woody Allen-directed movie, Cafe Society.

00:54:49Lively had just revealed her pregnancy a short week prior,

00:54:52but after that, Lively was allegedly heard taking it in a different way than it was meant and giving the journalist a

00:54:58caustic response, adding,

00:55:00Congrats on your little bump, even though she wasn't pregnant.

00:55:03Congrats on your little bump. To put it mildly, the interview that followed was quite strange.

00:55:08Many people also surmised that the actress's past interviews have now come to light at an odd time,

00:55:14given that Justin Baldoni hired the same PR firm that supported Johnny Depp during his trial against Amber Heard.

00:55:20Even if these are only conjectures and nothing more, it seems like the situation is becoming worse every day.

00:55:26Looking through Blake Lively's past isn't shining such a great light on her.

00:55:30Let's look at some moments when Blake Lively's behavior went too far.

00:55:34First of all, congrats on your little bump.

00:55:36Congrats on your little bump.

00:55:38Although you may have believed that the Gossip Girl co-stars were closest friends,

00:55:42the reality couldn't be further from the truth. Before delivering her statement at Pallyfest in 2008,

00:55:49Blake Lively is shown in the rediscovered interview,

00:55:51participating in a panel discussion with Leighton Meester and the other Gossip Girl cast members.

00:55:56She was disclosing the promises the producers of Gossip Girls had given her in order to guarantee her role as Serena on the show.

00:56:04She explained that in the books, Chuck Bass had a pet monkey, something she wasn't keen on.

00:56:09Another promise was no pet monkey.

00:56:12So she admitted that she made them promise there would be no pet monkey.

00:56:16She continued, Chuck has a pet monkey with coordinating outfits and I was like,

00:56:21I would love to be a part of the show, but I can't act with a monkey.

00:56:24She then pointed directly to Leighton and joked, well, I got a few of them.

00:56:28Leighton was offended by the remark, rightfully so, and Penn Badgley and Chase Crawford glanced at the ground awkwardly

00:56:35as the audience chuckled.

00:56:40When none of her co-stars laughed, she exclaimed, come on, it was a joke. Lord have mercy.

00:56:46Come on, it was a joke. Not a very good joke.

00:56:48A tweet went viral which showed an image of Blake Lively giving a quote to a journalist where she says a term

00:56:54widely accepted to be not very kind to those who've transitioned.

00:56:57Blake Lively talked to Elle magazine about her hopes for her future children and what they might wear while she was filming Gossip Girl.

00:57:04The quote says, I hope to have a few girls one day.

00:57:07If not girls, they better be because I have some amazing shoes and bags that need to be appreciated.

00:57:12Later in another video,

00:57:13she repeated the word. You read the gossip magazines and everybody is dating everyone. Everyone hates everyone.

00:57:19Everybody's had tons of plastic surgery and we're actually men and it's just like you don't listen to the rumors.

00:57:26What is the next five years?

00:57:29Goodness gracious. At the Boone Hall Plantation in South Carolina,

00:57:33which housed nine worker huts during the owning of people, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds tied the knot in 2012.

00:57:40In an Instagram post from 2020, Blake and Ryan expressed their regret about the plantation wedding.

00:57:46They wrote, we're ashamed that in the past we've allowed ourselves to be uninformed about how deeply rooted systematic unrest is.

00:57:53We want to educate ourselves about other people's experiences and talk to our kids about everything, all of it,

00:58:00especially our own complicity.

00:58:02It turns out that Blake Lively has been making statements in interviews for years in between all of the terrible It Ends With Us interviews.

00:58:09Journalist Kirstie Flaw shared the eight-year-old footage from when she interviewed Blake,

00:58:14admitting sitting down with Blake Lively and her co-star Parker Posey for Cafe Society in

00:58:202016 is the most uncomfortable interview situation I have ever experienced.

00:58:25Is it not okay to congratulate someone on their pregnancy or to ask another woman about costumes

00:58:30she's wearing in the film? When Kirstie tries to ask polite questions and make good comments to the two in the nightmare interview footage,

00:58:37Blake brusquely rejects her.

00:58:39She congratulates Blake Lively on her pregnancy saying, congrats on your little bump.

00:58:43Then even though Flaw isn't pregnant, Blake Lively responds to the journalist with the same remark.

00:58:49Just super passive-aggressive. During an interview about It Ends With Us,

00:58:53the host asked Blake Lively how people might approach her regarding the film's delicate and deeply personal topics.

00:59:00He inquired, most of us who are lucky enough to run into a celebrity in public get only a few brief

00:59:06moments to maybe speak to you guys.

00:59:08But for people who see this movie, who relate to the topics of this movie on a deeply personal level,

00:59:13they're really going to want to talk to you.

00:59:15This movie is going to affect people and they're going to want to tell you about their lives.

00:59:19So if someone understands the themes of this movie, they come across you in public and they want to talk to you,

00:59:25what's the best way for them to talk to you about this?

00:59:28She then joked about releasing her phone number to fans rather than taking the topic seriously,

00:59:33wondering why she wouldn't just location share at that point. In response,

00:59:37she said, that's like asking for my address or my phone number, location share.

00:59:41I could just location share you and then we could just, before she started trailing off while laughing. She continues,

00:59:47I'm a Virgo, so every time I'm like, are we talking logistics emotionally?

00:59:51Regarding her interview, one Reddit user shared their comments, writing, what the heck is wrong with her?

00:59:57This is just willful ignorance and lack of self-awareness from a fully grown woman.

01:00:02Is she even aware of what the movie is promoting? Does she know what it's about?

01:00:06The cognitive dissonance is off the charts at this point.

01:00:09She reduced the valid question the interviewer asked her to a flippant joke.

01:00:13I genuinely feel bad for her co-star and you can clearly see he is uncomfortable,

01:00:17but since they've all thrown in their lot with Blake and her annoying husband, they're stuck with this mess.

01:00:23I honestly appreciate Justin for being the only person to address and tackle the DV themes on this press tour.

01:00:30In light of some recent remarks people have been making about Blake Lively,

01:00:34it's no surprise that she isn't exactly loved right now.

01:00:37Let's look at some celebs that can't stand Blake Lively.

01:00:40Leighton Meester.

01:00:42When Gossip Girl debuted in 2007, everyone was curious to know if Blake Lively and Leighton Meester were real-life friends.

01:00:49On the show, Serena Van Der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf played friends who became enemies.

01:00:54When's the party? Saturday.

01:00:56And you're kind of not invited.

01:00:59But in real life, it's said that they quickly moved from the friends to the opponent's role.

01:01:04According to a number of sources, including one of the show's creators,

01:01:08Lively and Meester did not get along during filming.

01:01:11The two actresses avoid each other, according to one source, a New York Magazine article from 2008,

01:01:17as Gossip Girl was about to premiere its second season.

01:01:20The publication also discussed a Daily News article that alluded to the relationship between the two actors,

01:01:25implying that one of them thought the other was taking her place as the show's lead role.

01:01:30A Harper's Bazaar article also said that Meester thought Lively was overly conceited.

01:01:35In 2017, Joshua Safran, one of the show's executive producers, provided some confirmation of the narrative.

01:01:42In an interview with Vanity Fair, Safran shared,

01:01:44Blake and Leighton were not friends. They were friendly, but they were not friends like Serena and Blair,

01:01:50citing personality differences as the primary reason.

01:01:53It's safe to assume that Meester is not a fan of Lively because the two of them were never spotted together again

01:01:59in the years after Gossip Girl ended.

01:02:03Ryan Reynolds was formerly married to The Avengers actress Scarlett Johansson.

01:02:07He's the father of Blake Lively's four children. After dating for a year, Reynolds and Johansson tied the knot in September 2008.

01:02:14But ironically, they separated after just two years. Reynolds and Lively began dating in 2011,

01:02:21the same year their divorce was finalized.

01:02:23Remarkably, Lively and Reynolds came together on the Green Lantern set prior to Reynolds' formal divorce from Johansson,

01:02:34which sparked gossip of a possible infidelity.

01:02:37Despite the fact that Johansson and Reynolds both attributed their divorce to their work schedules,

01:02:42there were rumors that Johansson felt Lively was to blame for the outcome of her marriage.

01:02:46Scarlett feels like Blake actually stole Ryan from her because it was when he started filming Green Lantern with Blake in 2010

01:02:53that everything fell apart, a source confirmed to the National Enquirer.

01:02:57Furthermore, in 2011, a source disclosed to Us Weekly that Johansson held stuff against Lively for impeding her attempts to make amends with Reynolds.

01:03:06The claimed story was never publicly recognized by any of the persons involved.

01:03:10However, Johansson did confess that she could relate to her marriage story character who gets cheated on.

01:03:16The actor said in a Vanity Fair interview that,

01:03:23Johansson is definitely not a fan of Lively, even though the rumored love triangle is probably never going to be addressed.

01:03:32Armie Hammer, another Gossip Girl cast member who played Serena Van Der Woodsen's

01:03:36short-lived romantic interest in season two, publicly disclosed his unsatisfactory experience as a cast member pointing specifically to Blake Lively.

01:03:45When Hammer was asked in 2017 on Watch What Happens Live After Show who the biggest diva on the set was,

01:03:51he was first hesitant to respond.

01:03:53But he did with support from comic Chelsea Handler and host Andy Cohen remark,

01:03:58let me just say that was a tough show to film and I didn't end up actually filming all of the episodes

01:04:04I was supposed to because it was such a tough filming.

01:04:08Additionally, he made an implication that someone on the set wanted him to be fired from the show.

01:04:12Handler joked that Lively might have been the cause of the issue after reminding Cohen that he was Lively's possible beau in the few

01:04:19episodes he did film. No, no, that's not what I'm saying, Hammer answered.

01:04:23But he also made a very telling look, as if he were suggesting the exact opposite.

01:04:29Furthermore, it has been reported by Daumois, a well-known Instagram gossip account, that Hammer called Lively a b-word in front of a ton

01:04:36of people while she was filming Gossip Girl.

01:04:40It's also said that Anna Kendrick, who acted alongside Blake Lively in the 2018 film A Simple Favor, doesn't like her.

01:04:47Even though the women portrayed themselves as rivals on screen, their discomfort during interviews seemed funny at first.

01:04:53But as time went on, it began to appear as though Kendrick could indeed have some bad sentiments toward Lively.

01:04:59The actors related an incident in which Lively was unusually late for filming and Kendrick was left waiting

01:05:05without being told of the change in schedule during an interview with BuzzFeed.

01:05:09Kendrick said, that was the day

01:05:10I decided, that she didn't want to work with her anymore, which sparked an awkward exchange in which Lively clumsily attempted to defend her tardiness.

01:05:19We were all talking about you, Kendrick later told her. During an interview with MTV News, Kendrick urged Kirstie Flaw not to approach Lively,

01:05:27implying that she had muted Lively on Instagram. I've muted some people. There's a couple people that I have muted.

01:05:33Kendrick also physically distanced herself from Lively. Though

01:05:36it's possible that Kendrick's peculiar sense of humor was used to promote A Simple Favor, a TikTok page called Celebrity Memoir Book Club,

01:05:44which posts celebrity rumors, asserted that the story of the feuding women was real.

01:05:48An insider who was employed by the movie's production company at the time,

01:05:52claimed a video uploaded to the account that Kendrick was too competitive and couldn't stand it when Lively got all the limelight.

01:05:58Blake Lively snapped at a reporter for no reason.

01:06:01Critics have a lot to say right now about Blake Lively as they feel that a lot of her behavior is not right.

01:06:07Hi, I'm Blake Lively. Oh, this is interesting.

01:06:10Since she's the new target,

01:06:11they are now digging up old videos from years ago and one of them happens to be a video of her

01:06:16snapping on a reporter for asking about her relationship. When she was on Gossip Girl,

01:06:19there was a rumor that she was dating Penn Badgley. While sitting down with New York Magazine for a 2008 feature on the teen drama,

01:06:25Blake discussed her upcoming movie, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, when she filmed a smooching scene with Alan Arkin.

01:06:32She said, he's a little bit of an upgrade from Chase Crawford and Penn Badgley,

01:06:35so I'm looking forward to that. The comment prompted journalists Jessica Pressler and Chris Robsar

01:06:40to ask Blake about her real-life relationship with Penn, who played her on-screen love interest, Dan Humphrey. She snapped back,

01:06:46I thought this was New York Magazine. I thought you were supposed to be classy.

01:06:50I'm sure her response is maybe because she didn't feel comfortable discussing the relationship

01:06:54or maybe she wasn't ready for it to be out in the public. Blake's past interviews have been

01:06:58resurfaced in light of the drama surrounding her in the It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni,

01:07:02which started with Blake using the film's press tour to plug her new drink brand and hair care brand

01:07:07instead of discussing the film's heavy theme.

01:07:09Another take that people are bringing up is that she did a great job of acting in the film.

01:07:12Why is it her responsibility to talk about it?

01:07:15We have no idea what her past experiences are, what she's been through or maybe she's gone through something and doesn't feel like

01:07:19comfortable talking about it. People have also said she's just an actor,

01:07:23she's a non-activist. People shouldn't have to talk about things they don't feel comfortable discussing. When it comes to Justin Baldoni,

01:07:29he also has some stuff under critique, with sources claiming he did things that didn't sit well with Blake.

01:07:34He allegedly asked an on-set trainer a question about his co-star before filming a scene that he had to lift her up,

01:07:39reported by TMZ, because he'd previously injured his back and he wanted to be careful.

01:07:44Blake, who gave birth to her fourth child with husband Ryan Reynolds just a few months before production began,

01:07:50later found out about the actor's alleged comment and felt bothered by it,

01:07:54the outlet's sources said. The report also claimed that the castmates had it out over a smooching scene that Blake thought lasted too long.

01:08:01Neither Justin or Blake has addressed the headlines,

01:08:03but the internet has gone ahead and brought to light the commentary. Fans are also calling out Blake for using the T-word in numerous interviews.

01:08:11It's a word used to describe people who have transitioned. Blake was caught using this word,

01:08:15which of course didn't sit well with a lot of people.

01:08:18Tons of plastic surgery and we're actually men and trannies.

01:08:22In another conversation, a journalist

01:08:24congratulated Blake on her then recently announced second pregnancy and resulting bump, to which she wildly clapped back,

01:08:31congrats on your little bump.

01:08:33Congrats on your little bump.

01:08:36The reporter later said Blake's behavior made her want to quit her job and also revealed she was infertile.

01:08:42To be honest, it hurts because I obviously wasn't pregnant and I could never get pregnant,

01:08:46she told the Daily Mail. So to me, the comment did not sit well. Blake Lively has a new label of being a mean girl.

01:08:52I'm going to take you through what people are saying as some of the reasons she was being labeled as a mean girl.

01:08:57It is disturbing and I want to warn you, it is the truth.

01:09:01I'm saying flowers. Here are the reasons why Blake Lively is a mean girl according to critics. Amid reports of stuff happening between

01:09:08It Ends With Us co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni,

01:09:11recent footage making the rounds has the internet comparing Blake to Mean Girls character Regina George.

01:09:17After receiving a friendship bracelet from a reporter while walking the red carpet at the film's London premiere on August 8th, 2024,

01:09:23the gossip girl has been called out for responding with what many people perceive to be as a backhanded remark.

01:09:30She said, oh my god, thank you so much.

01:09:31That's so sweet. Accepting the pink and white bracelet as seen in a TikTok posted by a French entertainment site.

01:09:37She then said, I'm gonna put it in here because it doesn't go with my outfit, but I will wear it later.

01:09:41I'm gonna put it here because it doesn't go with my outfit, but I will wear it later.

01:09:44I'm gonna take you through some of the comments people made in regards to this. Many users pointed out that the gift did in fact

01:09:49go very well with Blake's look. A silver gown with pink floral embellishments and a red feathered coat. One comment with over

01:09:569,000 likes said the way it actually fits her whole outfit. Another comment wrote, Regina George vibes,

01:10:02seemingly referencing a famous scene from Mean Girls in which Regina compliments a girl's skirt then turns to her friend and says something different.

01:10:09How are we fooled for so long? Asked a third user in response to the clip.

01:10:14Come on, though. Should she really have to wear a gift just because someone gave it to her?

01:10:17What do you guys think? Recent press interviews for It Ends With Us have also had the internet reconsidering Blake's public persona

01:10:25and calling her tone deaf when it comes to discussing the film. The press tour has continued to make headlines as Justin,

01:10:30also the film's director, has often done press alone while Blake has

01:10:34regularly posed for photos and given interviews with her co-stars. The discords reached new heights when the journalist

01:10:41Kirstie Flaa released a clip from her 2016 interview with Blake which she titled, The Blake Lively Interview That Made Me Want To Quit My Job.

01:10:49Flaa started off the interview by congratulating Blake who was pregnant at the time.

01:10:53She said congrats on your little bump to Blake who then responded with,

01:10:57Congratulations on your little bump. Congrats on your little bump.

01:11:01Speaking with Mail Online, Flaa said Lively's comment did not sit well as she was dealing with the fact that she can't have children.

01:11:08Later in the interview, Blake reprimanded Flaa for asking a question about clothes.

01:11:12Commentators described the response as hypocritical as Blake seemed enthused to discuss fashion on her current press tour. In one interview,

01:11:20Blake asked how fans who understand the theme of this movie could talk to her about it.

01:11:24She gave a seemingly sarcastic response. Are you asking for like my address or my phone number, my location share?

01:11:30I could just location share with you, she said laughing. Address or my phone number or like my location share?

01:11:37Brett Cooper made a comment on this asking,

01:11:39Why did you think that was the correct way to respond to that question?

01:11:43The relationship between Ryan Reynolds and his wifey Blake Lively may not be as perfect as it may seem.

01:11:48Let's check out the biggest red flags in their relationship. These are the biggest red flags in Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds relationship.

01:11:55Everything I do is to make her laugh. So, thank you.

01:11:59They were seeing people right before dating each other. In a discussion with fellow actors Jason Bateman,

01:12:04Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, the hosts of the podcast Smartless revealed that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's romance

01:12:10blossomed while they were out on separate dates.

01:12:12We were friends and buddies and about a year and a half later, we went on a double date,

01:12:16but we were dating separate people. Ryan told the podcast co-hosts, I was just begging her to sleep with me,

01:12:22he revealed. Although the two celebrities had always kind of kept in touch since working together on the Green Lantern film,

01:12:28their romance quickly blossomed. Next thing you know, she was going to Boston,

01:12:32I was going to Boston and I said, well, I'll ride with you.

01:12:35We got on the train and we rode together, Reynolds shared on the podcast, adding that the development from casual friends to

01:12:41a romantic relationship was something out of a fairy tale. Although there's nothing wrong with this tale of the couple's unusual first date,

01:12:48some people find it strange since they were both recently unmarried. In addition to dating separate people,

01:12:54Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio had recently called it quits and Reynolds had recently separated from Scarlett Johansson,

01:13:00who had allegedly accused Reynolds of cheating. On the same day that Lively was sighted in Boston with Reynolds,

01:13:06word broke about Lively's breakup.

01:13:08It's feasible that the two engaged in covert, low-key, soft cheating, regardless of the veracity of the cheating accusations.

01:13:15They got married just 11 months after they started dating. After their brief romantic encounter in Boston in October 2011,

01:13:22Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's fleeting attraction turned into something more substantial.

01:13:27Reynolds acknowledged, as he did on the Smartless podcast, that a week later,

01:13:31I was like, we should buy a house together, and we did. It's one thing for them to live together shortly after courting,

01:13:37assuming their short vacation to Boston counts, but it's quite another to be married a year later.

01:13:42Nobody is certain when Reynolds proposed with one of the priciest celebrity engagement rings, no less,

01:13:47but it couldn't have happened too soon because in December 2011,

01:13:51Reynolds invited Blake to visit his parents in Vancouver, Canada. On September 9th, 2012, in South Carolina,

01:13:57the two actors tied the knot in a covert ceremony. Ryan Reynolds might want a stay-at-home wife.

01:14:03Every celebrity couple has to learn how to balance their personal obligations with their acting schedules.

01:14:08The Hollywood lifestyle is hectic, and while it offers certain benefits, it often means long absences from home and work schedules.

01:14:15Thank goodness, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have advanced to a position in their careers where they can select the roles

01:14:21they want to play. As a result, every movie they work on turns into a sort of passion project,

01:14:26rather than just a job. In 2020, Lively said to E! News, in response to a question about prerequisites for taking on

01:14:33a new project,

01:14:34I guess I really have to really, really, really, really love it because I just love my kids.

01:14:39Lively must have been completely enamored with the age of Adeline since the movie was filmed while she was expecting her first child.

01:14:46Blake and Ryan's career rivalry is something worth mentioning. A source told Radar in 2015,

01:14:51Ryan would like a wife who stays at home, but that's not Blake.

01:14:55Naturally, if Lively shares this desire, there's nothing wrong with being a stay-at-home mother. For the time being, this appears to be the case.

01:15:01I've always wanted a big family, Blake Lively said to Allure in 2012.

01:15:05Oh, I'd love 30 if I could. Still, kids grow up too fast. Lively's life goals could change, which would impact their dynamic.

01:15:13The couple's move from full-time performers to co-parents was not without its challenges,

01:15:18and it is unlikely that it will become any easier as their family grows. Ryan makes decisions without his wife's consultation.

01:15:25When Ryan Reynolds and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Rob McElhenney

01:15:29purchased a portion of Wales' Wrexham football team in 2020, well, everyone was taken aback. Blake Lively,

01:15:35his wife, was completely taken aback by this as she was not involved in the 2.5 million dollar transaction.

01:15:42I remember seeing Blake and saying, I have bad news and I have really bad news.

01:15:46The bad news is I slipped into someone's DMs again.

01:15:49Ryan told McElhenney on Jimmy Kimmel, referencing the way he struck up a friendship with McElhenney.

01:15:54The really bad news is that I might have bought half of a fifth-tier national football league in Wales.

01:16:00Ryan described his wife's response to him as not good. He continued,

01:16:04we're still working through that one. Though it's perfectly acceptable for couples to make independent decisions and exclude their partners from all

01:16:11aspects of their lives,

01:16:12there is something to be said for those who don't feel the need to let their partners know about big life decisions and financial

01:16:19investments. If you're in a committed marriage, not consulting your spouse before making potentially

01:16:24life-changing decisions shows a lack of regard for one another. Making significant decisions together

01:16:30is one of the indicators that your partnership is healthy.

01:16:32This is especially important if you have several kids and share a home. Even if Reynolds's purchase appears humorous to others,

01:16:38it still betrays a lack of communication and regard for his life partner. Their fame could be detrimental to their kids.

01:16:45Although becoming a well-known Hollywood actor sounds wonderful,

01:16:48the real world is far less glamorous. Because of the continual observation and lack of privacy,

01:16:54it is not for everyone. Therefore, a married couple with four children faces unique obstacles when raising their children in the spotlight.

01:17:01Although Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have done a good job of keeping their children out of the spotlight,

01:17:06they fight to maintain their children's privacy, which is probably a source of discussion at home.

01:17:11For example, Lively used Instagram in 2021 to criticize newspapers for publishing pictures of their young children.

01:17:17Lively said,

01:17:18This is so disturbing in response to a post that Hollywood star kids has since removed via Grazia.

01:17:23I've personally shared with you that these men follow and talk to my children and you are still posting.

01:17:29You said you would stop. You personally promised me. This is not casual appreciation.

01:17:34This is you also exploiting very young children. Please delete,

01:17:39please. Some parents are okay with this. We are not.
