Blake Lively recently made her first public appearance amid the ongoing drama surrounding her. The “Gossip Girl” star was spotted kissing her husband, Ryan Reynolds, outside of friend Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion during a star-studded pool party. The photos showed Lively wearing floral shorts and a coral bikini top, while Reynolds sported a pink short-sleeved button-up shirt and a blue cap.
Lively’s public appearance comes after a series of controversial incidents. In 2016, she had an awkward interaction with Norwegian reporter Kjersti Flaa, where she made a snarky comment about Flaa’s “bump” after being congratulated on her pregnancy. However, Flaa was not pregnant at the time and later revealed that she is infertile. The interview was described as a “nightmare” and “the most uncomfortable situation” by Flaa.
In addition to the awkward interaction with Flaa, Lively has also faced backlash for using transgender slurs in past interviews that resurfaced recently. There have also been rumors of behind-the-scenes drama between Lively and her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni. Reports suggest that Baldoni made Lively feel uncomfortable, especially about her weight after giving birth to her fourth child.
According to insiders, Lively was described as “impatient” on set, leading to tension among the cast. The two co-stars reportedly butted heads over the final edit of the movie, with the director feeling sidelined and stifled creatively by Lively’s decisions. Despite the drama, the director has even suggested that Lively should direct the sequel film if it ever comes to fruition.
Blake Lively’s recent public appearance with Ryan Reynolds is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the controversies surrounding her. From awkward interactions with reporters to using offensive language in past interviews, Lively’s reputation has been called into question. The behind-the-scenes drama with her co-star Justin Baldoni further adds fuel to the fire. It remains to be seen how Lively will navigate through these controversies and whether she will address them publicly.
