Hollywood star Blake Lively is facing a wave of criticism as negative incidents and personal controversies continue to mount, causing a noticeable dip in her public popularity.
Once celebrated for her elegance and charm, Lively now finds herself in hot water after initiating a legal dispute with her It Ends With Us co-star and director, Justin Baldoni. This legal tussle appears to be just one piece of a larger puzzle contributing to the actress’s recent fall from grace.
The backlash against Blake Lively has intensified following the resurfacing of an old interview clip in which she seemingly snubbed a female host mid-conversation, making her visibly uncomfortable. This, coupled with a more recent negative encounter shared by a fan, has further fueled the fire. A TikTok user named Landon posted a viral video recounting what she described as a “horrible” experience with the 37-year-old actress during a visit to the Stoney Clover Lane store in New York City.
According to Landon, she entered the store with her mother and sister, unaware that Lively was already inside. What followed, however, left a bitter impression. The fan accused Blake Lively of displaying an entitled and dismissive attitude towards the store employees. “She was speaking to them like they were beneath her,” Landon said. She quoted Lively demanding untouched items and inquiring about a private bathroom, behavior that she found to be excessively ‘diva-like.’
More troubling was Landon’s observation that Lively appeared disengaged not only from the staff and fellow shoppers but also from her own children and niece, whom she reportedly ignored while customizing a bag. Landon expressed her dismay, questioning why the actress even has fans anymore.
To make matters worse, the fan claimed that after they left the store, Lively’s security detail moved quickly to block the entrance and monitor them from a distance, adding to the unsettling nature of the experience.
As the criticism mounts, many fans are beginning to reassess their admiration for Blake Lively, with growing concerns about her attitude and public conduct. Whether this is a passing storm or a lasting blow to her image remains to be seen.
