Blake Lively finds herself at the center of renewed controversy as past incidents and her on-set behavior come under scrutiny. Internet sleuths unearth interviews revealing her attempts to turn the 'Gossip Girl' cast against Penn Badgley and her desire for 'authorship' in projects, which has sometimes clashed with industry norms.
Blake Lively's past controversies have resurfaced as internet sleuths delve into her history amid the ongoing legal dispute between her and 'It Ends With Us' co-star Justin Baldoni. Lively, known for her roles in 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' and 'Gossip Girl,' has faced scrutiny for past behavior. One notable incident involved her actions on the set of 'Gossip Girl.' In a 2009 interview, Lively admitted to trying to turn the cast against her then-co-star Penn Badgley.
She explained that she was initially unhappy with his casting but eventually realized he was a kind and charming person. Despite their professional relationship, Lively and Badgley dated from 2007 to 2010. Executive producer Joshua Safran revealed that their breakup was kept largely secret from the crew, a feat he considered impressive given the actors' ability to maintain professionalism despite their personal drama. Recently, Lively has faced criticism for her perceived demanding nature on set. In a resurfaced interview from the 2022 Forbes Power Women's Summit, Lively described her desire for 'authorship' in her projects, explaining that she seeks to be more involved in the storytelling process. However, she also acknowledged that this approach has sometimes been met with resistance from directors, producers, and writers who view her role as solely that of an actor. This has led to accusations of her 'rugging pull,' as she assertively incorporates her vision into projects that may not have initially intended such involvement. Adding to the controversy is a 2016 interview with Norwegian entertainment reporter Kjersti Flaa, where Lively seemingly responded to a pregnancy congratulations with a sarcastic 'Congrats on your little bump,' despite Flaa not being pregnant. This clip, recently resurface amid the 'It Ends With Us' backlash, has garnered millions of views on YouTube and fueled further scrutiny of Lively's behavior
