celeb news HuffPost: The Blake Lively Backlash Was A Long Time Coming

[Bosque]

So glad I missed whatever this "controversy" is supposed to be

[Spicy Pisces]

These keyboard warriors are being low-key misogynistic. The woman being criticized for not being calm and collected after portraying a victim, when her PR approach is seeing her character as more than a victim. A victim is still a person. Whereas the man is praised for being serious. His role is of the abuser so ofc he shouldn't deviate.

 

I understand her delivery may be off putting but I see her overly excited, clearly it's been a while since she had a movie come out. Her public dynamic with Ryan is the core issue lol.

[Broken]

Oh no, Tiktok and Twitter .

 

Meanwhile in the real world:

 

Box Office

 

#1) Blake Lively's Deadpool & Wolverine: $54.M

#2) Blake Lively's It Ends with Us: $50M

This. 

[MattieB]

I have two thoughts on this

 

1. Her statements during the press tour were abysmal and tone deaf, it was giving "Im just here for the check"

 

2. Any of yall realize that the internet is casually mean now, like people are waiting on edge to pounce on the meat of the week, its so weird

[thatsmydemi]

I thought everyone liked her. What happened? Or maybe they just like her when she attends the MET gala?

[glitch]

What's actually cringe is people thinking this random film will solve domestic violence and abusive relationships. This is not some hard hitting social commentary. The lead actors are Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni ffs. It's like complaining the actors doing Hangover didn't talk about the long lasting effects of alcohol abuse on a press tour.

All I see is Blake promoting to the target audience that will watch such a movie, because, trust me, no serious movie goer and film critic is going to like this mess!

Exactly lol. People are going to see this film because they think Justin and Blake are hot. Neither of them are serious actors, he needs to stop being so pretentious

Oh I am HERE for Ryan and Blake's downfall. @Communion you need to make her plantation wedding venue go viral again. I cannot stand this self righteous witch and her cheating husband! Justice for Alanis.  @Reverse Warholian

The fact that she said she didn't know it was a plantation, meanwhile the venue's name literally had "plantation" in it

[BOOMBAYAH]

Blake seems like she belongs to the same strand of annoying and fake feminism as Taylor Swift. 

[shyboi]

Gays are somehow always behind this collective dragging of women 

[liquiddiamonds]

Blake's an airhead. Always been. That's how she does in press tours regardless of the type of movie. She's trying to make women her age go out and watch it and it seems like it worked. They even put a Taylor song in the trailer lol It's so targeted

Never ever liked her and her acting looks bizarre she lacks TALENT

[OrgVisual]

About time that people have enough of white mediocre and how they love to insert their power over everyone else   

 

It's absolutely ridiculous how only Blake name appeared on the revised movie poster

JLO's movie was also #1 on Amazon for weeks, but doesn't mean that she's not over

meanwhile Justin Baldoni just hired D*pp's PR crisis person who helped him deal with Amber Heard situation but the internet will stay quiet about how terrible the optics of that look. 

 

but like why hire a PR crisis person when the internet is already on your side unless you have something to hide/cover for? Just my opinion. 

I thought he hired them because of the bad movie PR, not for himself? Atleast that's what i read.

[usersanchez]

Good! This shows that being married to a superhero, being a fashion "icon," or being a pop star's best friend doesn't excuse you from public scrutiny. 

 

The lesson here is that even though women are often underpaid and undervalued, among other horrible things; Some women in power can also be vile, and that has nothing to do with gender. (Like in this case; Blake Lively)

 

She is known for being difficult, yet she often gets a pass because of her elitist status.

 

&…. Y'all need to stop using the word "misogynist" to defend women who are genuinely awful, because doing so devalues the seriousness of actual cases of misogyny. 

Fans will try and use anything to excuse this vile human being for being tone-deaf by promoting her brand through a film about domestic violence.

also #1 on Amazon vs making $50M in your opening weekend 

[Sabrina Carpenter]

hate to see her whacked since i've loved her since Gossip Girl but she does seem out of touch 

[Mr. Peanutbutter]

This nontroversy.  People are really doing the most trying to find reasons to cancel women

[Space Cowboy]

Can someone make a tldr of the situation?

[Digitalism]

I know blake and ryan have big PR people behind them. So now that they are comming for her  they are probably going to say what the director did behind the scenes. Unless there's an NDA
