Blake Lively Is Allegedly 'Fearing For Her Career' Amid Fan Backlash

Blake Lively is reportedly anxious about her Hollywood career as she faces backlash from fans following behind-the-scenes drama related to her latest project, "It Ends with Us."

Insiders claim the actress may likely take "a step back" to "reassess her future" as she comes under serious scrutiny over resurfaced interviews.

Blake Lively also garnered the ire of fans for her treatment of the domestic violence subject in her latest film during her press tour.

According to the Daily Mail, sources close to the "Gossip Girl" alum said she's scared for her career as recent controversies threaten to tarnish her image and derail her prospects in the entertainment industry.

The 36-year-old actress has come under scrutiny in recent weeks for her alleged rift with her "It Ends With Us" co-star, Justin Baldoni, and several resurfaced interviews in which she seemingly problematic things.

Lively allegedly believed her role in the movie was going to be "her moment to shine" but is now worried that it may just leave her career hanging in the balance.

"Blake is definitely saddened by the hate she is getting and is trying not to let it affect her, but it is," the source said. "She thought this was her moment to shine but is now looking at it like the end of her career. She's fearing no one will want to work with her after this."

"She really wants to continue producing and directing and acting but she knows she needs to take a step back for a minute to reassess the future," they added.

Fans didn't take it lightly on the "Savages" actress after she hosted an interview with her "It Ends With Us" co-stars Jenny Slate and Isabela Ferrer, as well as author Hoover, yet failed to discuss the theme of attention - domestic violence.

According to the Daily Mail, the four talked and laughed about several topics, including zodiac signs, their dream jobs, and other topics, but they failed to mention anything about domestic violence.

She had previously come under scrutiny for her watered-down answer to a reporter, who asked her if people who understood "the themes of this movie" could talk to her about it if they saw her in person.

"Ask for my address or my phone number," Lively sarcastically replied. "Or I could just share my location with you and then we could."

Netizens were also heavy on her after an X user unearthed a 2012 interview she had with Elle magazine, where she seemingly used an offensive term to comment on her future children's fashion sense at the time.

"sometimes ill [sic] be quietly going about my day and then ill [sic] remember the time Blake lively said this to a journalist," the user captioned their post on X.

The fan then shared an image of Lively's quote, which read: "I hope to have a few girls one day. If not girls, they better be tr-nnies. Because I have some amazing shoes and bags and stories that need to be appreciated."

She wouldn’t be promoting her schlock products had it not been in her contract. The problem is that this was the wrong film or vehicle in which to do so.

She’s also undeniably boring & beyond average, which is why I believe that this alleged conflict between she & Baldoni was fabricated in order to stir some interest, & unfortunately for her, it got out of control.

She does come off as shallow & bitchy, because she is shallow & bitchy.

There’s not much more to her. It’s hard to cancel someone who never really was.

R29 sorry I stand corrected. Justin.

Also, Blake didn't like the final cut so her and her cunty husband Ryan used their own editor to recut even though Justin's tested better, but Blake had Taylor Swift call and say, "if you don't use Blake's version you can't use my song."

by Anonymousreply 37August 25, 2024 4:29 PM

R37 - a couple of things here. First - did her and Ryan invest in the film? Because shes a PRODUCER of the film - typically meaning that she not only invested money into getting it created she also was a driving force in the studios to get it made.

Second - she's the main star 'power' of the film. Everybody else is C list, at best.

And you don't know what tested better - that's just an unproven internet rumor.

This seems like finding or making up reasons to dump on her. So she was a bit catty in an interview years ago - so the fuck what? The interviewer was asking about their clothes instead of their project.

Ryan will be fine - he's well on his way to being a billionaire with all of his smart investments, not just Mint mobile but other things you haven't heard about, like MNTN for streaming ads, which is a great product.

She should have mention DV in her interviews about the film - point taken. But that one interview was a cast interview and if they went off the rails on different topics, that's the fault of the interviewer.

Supposedly she had issues with Justin's cut of the film because he wanted it to be more sympathetic to the issues/reasons why males commit DV. Who knows what's true?

I always felt she got more headlines and attention than she deserved - for her looks, personality or acting. I never got the reason why she was popular. She's very forgettable all around.

In a nutshell:

Movie involved: It Ends with Us

BL and Justin Baldoni (costar and director) have a feud. It appears that BL used husband Ryan Reynolds to gang up on Baldoni. BL claims that RR rewrote (greatly improved) the script.

Interviewer Kjersti Flaa posted a several-years-old interview she did with BL and Parker Poser (linked) wherein both BL and PP were acting cliquish and rude to the interviewer.

Critical mass is reached re: Blake Lively. (Re: she's a mean girl, bully, etc.)

But unlike Blake, Gwyneth found a way to make her prom queen bitchery entertaining, like her absolute refusal to even pretend to care about the Marvel movies in which her appears, and her deliciously cunty "I wish you will" to the guy who sued her.

Here is the problem

Lively has simply assumed she can be like her husband. She cannot. She will be held to a different standard.

Ryan Reynolds has built his career on glib entertainment. He is not an actor. Dwayne Johnson is not an actor. They are personalities who appear in movies.

Blake Lively assumed she can do what Reynolds does, star in a movie and use that to promote her brands. The movies are a means to an end. She cannot do that because FEMALE MOVIE STARS DO NOT EXIST. There are no “exercise in stardom” movies for her to make. Any high profile project she books is going to be in service of the narrative story, because people determine if they will see a movie starring a woman not because she is famous, but because the story interests them. And Lively - thinking like an actor - chose a film with serious dramatic themes. For any other actress, this would have been fine. They would have made the movie, promoted it and been happy with the notices and box office. But Lively is not any other actress - she is her husband’s apparatchik. She was always going to point the movie in the direction of servicing Reynolds Lively Inc.

This is what will damage her future prospects. Not the feud, plenty of actresses feud with their director. The problem is that Lively volunteered that she INSERTED Ryan Reynolds into it. No one is going to cast her if they think he is going to come in and throw his weight around. Almost every film made now is high concept based. You don’t need movie stars anymore. You need actresses. And Hollywood expects actresses to behave a certain way - act, smile, pose for the cameras, don’t complain. And do not bring your powerful husband to the set to fuck with my movie.

[quote] The Blake Lively backlash has been 'a gift' for Justin Baldoni after he was forced to hire a PR crisis manager amid rumored 'It Ends With Us' feud

"It Ends With Us," the new movie starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, has quickly become a box office hit, surpassing $200 million globally since its release earlier this month.

While there are several reasons behind the film's success, one thing that may have led to added interest is the rumored feud brewing off-screen between the film's lead and her costar/director, Baldoni.

The reported falling out has made headlines in recent weeks and led to a reexamination of Lively's past, with many criticizing the star's previous behavior.

But while Lively is now trying to save her reputation, Baldoni has been navigating the changing tides of public opinion with a move from the celebrity scandal playbook — hiring a PR crisis team.

"This was the right move for him," Megan Balyk, a PR expert and vice president of Jive PR + Digital, told Business Insider. "We always recommend hiring a reputation management firm before you need it."

"I think this shows us that Justin doesn't trust Blake and believes she will try to control the narrative. He's trying to ensure this outcome doesn't negatively impact his career," Balyk added.

Eric Schiffer, chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, said that one of the first things Baldoni likely would have done with his new crisis team was to lay out "what truly went down behind the scenes."

It was only after people noticed that the pair weren't interacting during the film's promotional tour this month that people started digging into what had occurred and came up with a variety of wild theories.

TMZ and Page Six have since reported on tension on the set of the movie, while unnamed sources told The Hollywood Reporter that further problems occurred in post-production when two different cuts of the movie emerged.

Baldoni would need to fill in the gaps to his PR team, confirming or denying the reported rumors and giving his team the full picture, Schiffer said.

"Once you have that, you can formulate a battle plan," he continued. "A big part of this is ensuring you don't detonate problems that can explode."

"But if things are favorable, it can benefit the client to 'leak' the truth if it's not already out there," Schiffer added.

Can you just imagine the Mean Girl terror, when Blake Lively, Taylor Swift, and Brittany Mahones are all together?

Unfortunately, she chose to marry into that circle . When in Rome do as the Romans do.

[quote]She seems like his physical type: 1.Renee Zellweger 2. Jennifer Lawrence 3. Blake Lively All three: blonde, hooded eyelids.

Alanis Morrisette was the outlier. Also, he dated Renee Zellweger?

As evidenced in that clip shared by R55, Betty Bacall at least had the smarts to back up her prickliness. She could be a cunt, but she was no dummy. Blake is both.

"'sometimes ill [sic] be quietly going about my day and then ill [sic] remember the time Blake lively said this to a journalist', the user captioned their post on X."

Thank god the article chose to include this gripping quote from a "netizen."

Blake Lively lacks substance. She is an airhead. I don't expect any commensensical comments from her. Meh

Blake Lively is a cunt. And this backlash is long overdue.

A problem is that this latest movie of hers was a box office hit. So we may be stuck with her for a while longer : (
