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."
