Blake Lively JUST RUINED HER CAREER?!

just like what happened to Jennifer Lopez a few months ago Blake Lively now finds herself in the eye of a storm with the internet turning on her during the Press tour for her latest movie it ends with us what started as a few untimely jokes spiraled into full-blown rumors about her allegedly taking control of the movie alongside her husband Ryan Reynolds the backlash was Swift and intense but here's the twist Blake is no stranger to controversy as these scandals started resurfacing from the dusty Archives of the internet the tide of public opinion turned against her almost overnight one of the most surprising Revelations Blake was actually fired from a movie a fact that many people don't know because it happened quietly according to reports Blake was replaced after the production company was unhappy with her Casting an Insider claimed the reason why anap Perna pictures will no longer be investing in side effects is because Blake Lively is set to Star can you imagine how much that must have stung getting dropped from a film is no small blow especially for someone as prominent as Blake but that's not all drama seems to have followed her from the very beginning of her career as early as 2008 there were Whispers of tension between Blake and her Gossip Girl co-star Leighton Meer sources from the set claimed that the two avoided each other at all costs their on-screen friendship as Serena and Blair might might have been iconic but offc screen it was a whole different story in fact in 2011 Hollywood Life reported that Blake was upset over Leighton being given a higher costume Budget on the show Blake felt that since she had more success outside of Gossip Girl in feature films she deserved equal treatment to her it seemed like decisions were being made behind her back add to this the fact that Leighton was more introverted while Blake was outgoing and it became clear why the two never clicked and if you're wondering how their relationship stands today here's a clue Blake and Leighton don't even follow each other on Instagram anymore interestingly though Leighton still follows their Gossip Girl co-stars Chase Crawford and Penn Badgley coincidence maybe but it sure adds fuel to the fire Blake Lively's current Scandal is just the latest chapter in a career that's had its fair share of drama it seems like just as with Jennifer Lopez the internet has dug up her past and now everyone's ready to turn their backs the question is will Blake be able to bounce back this time or has this Scandal left a lasting mark on her career Blake Lively's name has been attached to yet another controversy and this one dates back to her time on Gossip Girl some of you may remember that Army Hammer had a brief four episode arc on the show as Gabriel Edwards a con man who dated Serena Vander Woodson played by Blake rumor has it that this character was originally supposed to stick around for a lot longer but tensions between Army and Blake led to his early exit a few years ago Army appeared on Watch What Happens live with Andy Cohen and was asked to Spill the tea on who the biggest diva on the Gossip Girl set was Army's response was revealing let me just say that was a tough show to film and I didn't end up actually filming all of the episodes I was supposed to because it was such a tough film it was also like get him out of here his choice of words along with the early exit of his character seems to hint that things between him and Blake were far from friendly it's just another scandal in a growing list for Blake but perhaps one of the most controversial moments in Blake Lively's personal life came when she and Ryan Reynolds tied the knot at Boon Hall Plantation in South Carolina yes you read that right a plant this particular Plantation is Infamous for its history with nine original slave cabins Still Standing often referred to as slave Street to hold a wedding at such a location where enslaved people endured unimaginable suffering being raped murdered and forced to work in horrendous conditions is a choice that sparked outrage the backlash was Swift and many questioned how a couple as high-profile as Blake and Ryan could have been so oblivious to the history of the place Ryan eventually issued an apology admitting that they had chosen the venue based on Pinterest photos and didn't realize the Dark Legacy of the plantation but let's be real it's hard to believe that a couple with their level of Fame and access to information wouldn't have known the historical context of their wedding venue it feels impossible that they were truly unaware of what Boon Hall represented many critics argue they were simply lying to save face what makes the situation even worse is the Visual Evidence there's a widely shared wedding photo showing tables set up right in front of one of the plantation slave cabins it's difficult to imagine that Blake and Ryan didn't know or care about the history given how prominently the cabins feature in the backdrop of their celebration yet despite the backlash Blake herself stayed silent she never addressed the controversy or offered any sort of apology leaving Ryan to face the music alone it's this silence this unwillingness to acknowledge the gravity of the situation that has left a sour taste in the mouths of many while some celebrities face their mistakes headon Blake's decision to remain quiet has only fueled the perception that she either doesn't understand or simply doesn't care about the importance of these issues and in an era where accountability is key her silence speaks volumes Blake Lively's controversies seem to have a Long Reach and one of the more unsettling ones involves her romanticizing the antibellum era a period Infamous for its ties to slavery back in 2014 Blake penned a blog post titled the Allure of anab Bellum which alongside a photo shoot stirred significant backlash in this article Blake seemed to idealize the lives of southern women from the preil War Confederate South speaking fondly of the unpar paralleled warmth of the time and throwing around words like Southern bells and debutants it's hard to overlook the fact that she was clearly referencing the white privileged women of the slave owning class critics were quick to call her out and rightly so as the website Refinery 29 put it Blake's use of the word antibellum was steeped in a MTI eyed Nostalgia tinged perspective that blatantly ignored the reality of what life was like for the enslaved women of that era these women weren't sipping sweet tea on porches or attending fancy balls they were enduring unimaginable brutality for Blake to glamorize this period without addressing the horrific conditions that most southern women lived under simply because they weren't born into wealth and privilege is toned deaf at best what's your take on this can romanticizing such a brutal chapter of History ever be justified or is this just another instance of Blake Lively missing the mark and that's not the only time Blake's actions raised eyebrows in 2016 she and actress Parker posie were both accused of being rude during an interview with journalist Kirsty flaw the clip which resurfaced recently shows Blake responding in what many viewers described as a hostile manner when Kirsty congratulated her on her pregnancy now we all understand that pregnancy can be a sensitive topic for some women and not Everyone likes to be constantly reminded of their baby bump but what came next crossed the line Blake allegedly fat shamed the journalist despite Kirsty obviously not being pregnant to make matters worse Kirsty later revealed that she had been dealing with infertility issues during that time and Blake's comments cut particularly deep the experience was so painful for her that she even considered quitting her job as a journalist Al together Kirsty also mentioned that she felt a strong mean girl energy from both Blake and Parker posie throughout the interview leaving her feeling humiliated it's hard to ignore the pattern here while no one expects celebrities to always be perfect Blake's actions from romanticizing a deeply problematic historical period to her apparent rudeness toward journalists seemed to reflect a troubling disregard for how her words and actions impact others whether intentional or not her behavior in these situations has left many questioning just how aware she is of the weight her platform carries Blake Lively's knack for landing in controversy continued when she managed to upset not not just fans but even the British royal family just a few months ago Kate Middleton found herself at the center of a viral social media Friendzy over a digitally manipulated family portrait the internet was quick to mock the photo and Blake decided to join in on the fun by posting an edited image of her own to promote her beverage brand it was all fun and games until the situation took a heartbreaking turn not long after Kate middlet revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy suddenly Blake's light-hearted jab didn't seem so harmless realizing the gravity of the situation Blake quickly deleted the post and issued an apology on her Instagram stories in her message she acknowledged the insensitivity of her actions writing I'm sure no one cares today but I feel like I have to acknowledge this I made a silly post around the Photoshop fails frenzy and oh man that post has me mortified today I'm sorry sending love and well wishes to all always while Blake's apology seemed sincere for many it felt like too little too late after all mocking a member of the royal family even in just was bound to attract attention but doing so when the person was quietly battling a life-threatening illness was a line crossed the incident left many wondering if Blake truly grasped the weight of her actions while it's possible she didn't know about Kate Middleton's diagnosis at the time the timing couldn't have been worse and her involvement in the viral mockery came off as insensitive though she apologized some felt her response wasn't enough to undo the damage or show full accountability it's another example of Blake's seemingly casual approach to situations that require a bit more thought and consideration Blake Lively's promotion of it ends with us has stirred up significant controversy with many accusing her of being toned deaf in how she approached the film's sensitive subject matter the movie which focuses on a woman who endures DV DV is a heavy emotional story but Blake's promotional efforts made it feel more like a light-hearted sequel to Barbie than a serious drama about a deeply important issue fans and critics alike were quick to call out the glaring disconnect between the film's content and Blake's marketing strategy even the charity women's Aid chimed in expressing concern over the fact that despite DV being Central to the movie much of the marketing failed to address it instead it seemed to gloss over the gravity of the topic what really sparked outrage was how Blake appeared to use it ends with us to cross promote her personal Brands during interviews and press events instead of focusing on the film's heart-wrenching themes she shifted the spotlight to her hair care line and beverage brand the lack of attention to the ser seriousness of Da left many fans frustrated and disillusioned to them it felt like Blake was more concerned with boosting her business ventures than using the film as a platform to raise awareness about DV this is where the Stark difference between Blake and her co-star Justin baldoni became apparent while Blake seemed to prioritize her Brands Justin took a much more thoughtful and compassionate approach he used his platform to discuss DV in detail sharing heartfelt messages with survivors and addressing the movie's themes with the care they deserve fans couldn't help but note the contrast between the two Blake promoting the movie like a commercial for her products and Justin engaging deeply with the issues at hand it's no wonder people are calling her out for missing the mark so completely
