it makes me appalled how so many can hate on a woman who has done nothing wrong and who is just being herself. she is a great actress and we know nothing about what she is going through in her personal life. please stop with this nonsensical hatred and trying to gain money from it, you do not deserve the cash from such a terrible video hating on her. she is a beautiful woman far more beautiful than you inside and out and you now nothing about her life so to be frank with you... we don't need your video and your opinion. Justin the director of the film hired a pr firm in order to fill social media with hate against her in order to tarnish her image. He is the one on a personal vendetta against her. these types of hate filled videos and comments stem from jealousy and the desire to gain cash as well as join the train of hatred intended to make someone hide away and end their career.
@@patriciabradnorismakingpudding Respectfully, she has demonstrated problematic behaviors in her past interviews and in this current press tour. While I am no way naive to think that the re-emergence of such interviews are not due to his PR team, but some of her actions are inexcusable like promoting her alcohol brand alongside a movie about DV. According to WHO, about 50% of the DV involved alcohol. Alcohol can often increase the possibility of DV events occurring. She was a producer of the movie, where she allowed her husband to make changes to the script without informing the scriptwriters. As a producer, this was highly unprofessional and potentially fireable action (if she was regular person). Please do not enable such problematic behaviors by targeting individuals who are rightfully critiquing her actions.
i believe leighton meester would do something great of lily role as she know about toxic relationship aka bad blood with blake and her mum . she also wore born in prison
I feel like this video was incredibly non-biased. Unlike other videos, I’ve watched on this matter. If you don’t want to watch peoples take on this situation, Dont. As someone who was a big fan of Blake’s… let’s be honest she is absolutely not a good actress. That has not stopped me from watching her films and of course GG. Like her husband, she has one role she can play and that would be herself. However, I have been biased and in the past, loved her for her. The point of all of this, has been to show how tone deaf she has been not only in promoting this movie about DV and SA.. But also, where she got married, her failed website about antebellum fashion.. And her history of not getting along with co- stars on set. It’s been a repetitive theme. Which is unfortunate. It’s not about hating her. It’s about calling out entitled , ignorant, Repugnant behavior. Something is Provoking you about this video that stays anti-bullying throughout. It speaks on facts. Not speculation. It’s unfortunate when you find out a celebrity you admired turns out to be something different. It’s another reminder. Hollywood is fucked up. Also, she was a Harvey Weinstein girl, her public comments about him are really questionable… And some people feel her public comments about, Woody Allen are the same. These are all facts. You can do with that what you want. However, coming onto this platform and stating this TH-camr is hating on Blake lively due to jealousy is preposterous. Check yourself.
@@patriciabradnorismakingpudding I don’t think it is hate. It is just ppl being disgusting and disappointed. But she will never victim she is you know multitudes.
Do we think after Barbie movie came out, people in her inner cirlce were like "You should've been Barbie! You're a real life Barbie!" and so then she picked her next project and decided to just turn that into her excuse to "be" Barbie? I feel like we're watching a real-life "I'll show them who's Barbie!" saga play out.
Isn't she too old for all of that though, IK Margot is not 20 either but she does have a younger vibe,blake looks like she could play barbie's mom or elder sister.
Definitely, like if Barbie came out in like 2010, she would have tried so hard to play her. Also in a Simple Favour interview with Anna Kendrick, Blake says she WISHED she could play a Disney princess. So the mentality is there. There's nothing deep about playing a Disney princess, so very up her street of an aspirational 'it girl' 'beauty centric' type role rather than a role about struggle like Lilly Bloom, but of course she made it all about fashion for some bizarre reason.
no cause the "fat shaming" was him asking a coach how he can train to lift her in the air so he doesn't hurt his back. Like, that's a valid concern, even for people who don't have back problems. and he DOES have a history of back issues. She's a grown woman, she weighs the amount a grown adult weighs, god forbid he try to train so he doesn't injure himself lifting her up.
And if she didn’t like her weight, that’s her issue, not Justin’s. Why blame someone else and try to spread false reports for your own problem? He was trying to do this stunt in a professional way with his set trainer.
Also he can't make any hiccups coz she's pregnant on top of that. So he's right to think about consulting for training to lift her up safely for the both of them.
Attacking an interviewer for asking questions about the fashion in a movie where the fashion was unique to the time period and carefully curated, and then making a movie about abuse about her fashion…
Right. And she could’ve used that question as a way to compliment the wardrobe/costume team on doing a fabulous job, but instead she took another hurtful jab at the interviewer in a condescending way.
The only reason she was so well liked in the first place was because people have only perceived her through her character in Gossip Girl, her MET gala looks and her social media interactions with her husband. We basically created for her this persona of who we thought she was. It wasn't until It Ends With Us that most of us heard her talk as herself for the first time, and it's just unfortunate that she talks like a self absorbed airhead
in this whole drama I really felt bad for JUSTIN BALDONI , despite his genuine efforts to promote the movie as it should be blake's pr team constantly tried to paint him as a bad person .....he was the only one who actually talked about the DV issue during press tour but blake literally messed up everything due her ME ME ME attitude
Me too. I feel very sorry for him. He's been treated like crap and I'm glad most people can see that. And he's kept his feelings to himself, bless him. The second movie is now impossible thanks to Blake and her husband's efforts.
@@sirdidymus24 what do you want? You're triggered when straight feminist men spread awareness, but I bet you're also triggered if they don't. There is no way to create something that reaches as many people as possible without monetizing it - unless you're an a lister. Which he's not. So taking something that is popular, whether it's problematic or not is actually the smartest thing to do, since it already has a big audience. And him using interviews and podcasts to openly talk about an issue that's still a big taboo in our society, is the right way to go. "WeAr yOur fLoRalS" is not.
He has pr working for him don't be sorry we don't know the whole story (not saying there is a bad or a good person here just take distance with everything happening, we know pr can be very effective with the exemple of amber vs jonny depp)
“Don’t talk to me about fashion, that’s sexist!” (Proceeds to make a film about DV all about her wardrobe). “That man with a back injury is fat-shaming me because he wants to know how much he needs to lift!” (Proceeds to fat-shame other women). Personally, I don’t see her brand recovering from all the hypocrisy and obnoxious behaviour.
She'll probably try to rebrand herself as a diva or try to embody the "mean girl" trope as a way of not taking accountability, which she is already seeming to do. Unless she throws in the towel and waits for everyone to forget about the drama and form a new persona.
I never liked her character in Gossip Girl, but I thought she was different when that Adeline movie came out and she played that role very well. She has the best dresses at the met gala so she made me believe she was genuinely kind and caring but now that this drama is everywhere I’m very surprised and convinced that she’s more like serena in real life 😖
It's a little cringe, how much she was feeling herself. She expected this to be her moment and it backfired so bad, I hope younger celebrities will use this as a case-study of what NOT to do!
@Natta44 she's been in the industry forever, she's a nepotism baby. She probably will have had media training... But since her and Ryan, she seems to think they're the biggest IT couple in Hollywood. These celebs forget that we're the ones who get to decide who stays popular and relevant, especially since Social Media.
@@eva5821 Blake and Ryan got married on a plantation, where there were seven preserved slave cabins on the site. They then tried to say that they just "picked the venue on pinterest" and didn't look more into it.
I mean… if that was actually her intend yeah 😂 like that red head girl on tiktok but her having “bad talk” going on affects her, her husband, her brands and even Taylor S bc I have seen videos and comments with thousands of likes saying “welp show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are” questioning Taylor S character based on Blake’s so I really don’t think this was intentional or helping her in any way My personal non marketing educated opinion at just 5 min of this video so if she shares new info or marketing knowledge about how this could be a good thing I would be surprised
Blake Lively may not have done a good job at promoting awareness of DV, but she certainly excelled in promoting mean girl high school energy in adulthood.
I grew up on gossip girl. I always felt like Blake’s acting was very one dimensional and boring. Leighton Meester and Penn Badgley were the reasons I was so into the show.
Right?! I loved Blair's character, she was always trying her best and had so much character development. Serena just never seemed to change or grow as a person, she was so boring. I literally watched for Blair and Dorota 😅 Heck even Georgina was more interesting than Serena!
Blair dominated the screen. She held that space. The show tried very hard to put Serena on the pedestal but years later we are, by a large majority, a Blairites
Imagine if you knew how to read and had enjoyed the books first! Or had an ounce of empaty/compassion when speaking of people who deal with BS on the daily that you could never imagine. Tell me, what did you think of the portrayal of Dan? Based on the book, of course. (btw your personal lack of educated response is going to be truly fun)
I can't wait to see Ryan reynolds joke his way out of this in the next deadpool movie. He might even bring in blake as lady pool to repair her image as well. It will be insufferable. Blake really underestimated how well liked justin baldoni is when she leaked those rumors about him. It backfired so hard. And kudos to the interviewer who exposed her. She waited for the right moment, saw an opportunity and made everything 100 times worse for blake. Bet it was really satisfying for the interviewer after all these years. People never forget how you made them feel.
@@zaigf7030 That he fat-shamed her (he didn't) and that he made her feel uncomfortable in a kissing scene (he hired two female intimacy co-ordinators to ensure this didn't happen).
The lady who was asking her about the wardrobe was literally from a fashion magazine.. and the clip right after where she says that it’s one of her favorite wardrobes on a movie she’s ever worn… you mean your own wardrobe that you brought? Damn she so unbelievably unlikable
Honestly I'm surprised no one suggested to her to make nonalcoholic spritzers which would have made more sense since she doesn't drink and ties into the movie better.
@@herexcellencyru I think it was D'Angelo Wallace who described them as Venture Capitalists (especially Ryan) and I can't stop thinking about how accurate that is sentiment is whenever I see his commercials
@@daezea then it makes the launch idiotic. You had the product. You had the perfect opportunity to help sell it. Smh. It's like the Brittany dress. Just another missed opportunity. Use it to show you have put more thought into your work.
She for sure wanted her Barbenheimer moment with her husband's movie, too, but what she clearly didn't realize is that her movie, It Ends With Us, was Oppenheimer, and Deadpool & Wolverine was Barbie lol
something about blake saying "blondes are nicer!" as some sort of dig at leighton meester when leighton is literally a natural blonde who dyed her hair brown for the role is sending me 🤣
@@NOYB8524 He's not likeable and neither is Blake, they deserve each other. Ryan is like those little fish attached to a bigger one, he looked for a woman to be on stardom rise and get some limelight on him, while babytrapping her so he's the main star. They found common ground in ME ME ME attitude as Ryan also tends to play himself and turn everything he touches into a joke. They're shallow, out of touch, lacking authenticity and sensitivity, only after money and their egos being worshipped it seems.
She was never America’s Sweetheart, why do people keep saying that? At most she is just known as Ryan Reynold’s wife, no one was running to go see her movies. It’s wild how we attach the America ‘s Sweetheart moniker to any conventionally attractive white woman.
Well, I've notice a pattern when it comes to the entertainers being labeled as "American Sweetheart" which in my opinion is a sure fire way this person is most likely horrible in front and out of cameras...i.e Rosie O' Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres, Julia Roberts, Reese "do you know who I am" Witherspoon, amongst other I can think from the top of my head, but the point is not all of them are conventionally attractive, take a peak of Ellen DeGeneres without makeup.
True, she never really earned her spot as a Hollywood starlet like Scarlett Johannson, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Lupita etc. But she was always there at the same events when she's never been in anything notable or rememberable. She became A list be association of Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Swift bezzie and other a listers.
@@violetviolent7980That’s fair but Ellen Degeneres was an American Sweetheart, as was Rosie O Donnell, and Oprah Winfrey because they were able to appear relatable while hosting shows that spoke to the American experience. In the same vain of the aforementioned, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, and Meg Ryan, played characters with the All American Girl trait of the girl next door, which got conflated to be the American Sweetheart, which then quickly became the rule to be ‘awarded’ the title as opposed to the exception. So now when you hear the term American Sweetheart, you immediately think of the all American girl next door, which is the aesthetic Blake parallels (conventional attractive white women that seems relatable or that is the aspiration of other women). There is a reason the girl next door in America is typically her phenotype, because ‘otherness’ is not aspirational. I could write an essay on this, but the reality is I’ve given Blake Lively too much of my time, for someone that has zero importance to me. LOL.
I also find it greatly distasteful and disrespectful promoting her wannabe alcohol brand knowing that alcohol is greatly contributing to most of domestic violence cases. Is she still 17 years old playing one of the main characters in a teeny show?? She doesn’t have any more capacity than that, as it seems. And don’t star in a movie about a serious topic if you will just dodge the questions you will logically receive about that topic. She fetched waaaay out of her league and everyone can see that now.
Not trying to defend Blake's behaviour, but Betty Buzz is a non-alcoholic drink. I really wish Zoe would have at least taken a minute to simply google the brand before making this video and spreading false information. With that being said, I totally agree that Blake promoting her brands along side a movie about domestic violence is tactless and distasteful.
@daezea She had Betty buzz (non alc) and Betty booze (alc) but they still fall under her drinks brand and the fact they were put in cocktails for the Premier party not cocktails. Either way it's still tone deaf. Would be like advertising a clothing brand after making a movie about modern slavery.. tone deaf. There's a time and a place, this wasn't it.
@daezea to be fair, it's too close for comfort For example, in Russia it's prohibited to advertise alcohol on TV and via other media, BUT you can advertise alcohol-free beer and companies milk that Studies have proved that strategy like this is just as effective to promote actual alcohol, therefore the policy's argued to be absolutely useless
Yeah he totally bombed on Chicken Shop date, it was like bro youre an actual AI mannequin. Amelia is amazing but it read: he wasn't working too ON. He and Blake are incredibly mediocre and obnoxious I'm living for this shit 😂
As of domestic abuse survivor and sexual abuse survivor over several times all I have to say about this is that good for Blake for never having to experience such pain and trauma I mean it’s completely clear by the way she’s been involved in the film, I’m not saying that out of nastiness I’m actually saying that for somebody to act the way she is it shows that she has absolutely never faced the horrors of abuse and I hope she never does because it not only changes your life. It can also destroy it, God bless anybody who has experience such trauma. We are the real superstars not Blake.
@@roxassora2706fair. Additional take: that when we don’t say murdered, we are not acknowledging that her life ended by a brutal crime being committed. If we hide the bad things they just keep in happening, when we shine a light on them we bring visibility and attention to what may need to be addressed or changed in society. Just my thought.
For a long time, I’ve only ever seen her as a famous person’s wife and a fashionista. I have never taken her seriously as an actress. I definitely wasn’t expecting any fuss about this movie because let’s be real, Her movies are not that great. But this drama, is something I never expected. It definitely put her on the map in a bad way.
It confusing still as to how she is a 'fashionista' ....this moniker never sat with me as there are so many other celeb starlets who wear their clothing in ways that makes an indelible print on sartorial history. Looks that take your breath away to the point you almost forget who is wearing them. Looks people discuss for decades. This woman is the definition of 'basic' and I never understood why people ranted raved over her fashion choices. And to be fair so many of them were just plain hideous. These looks aren't haute they are hot messes, made worse by how she styled and wore them. She always seemed to me as someone playing dress up. There is never that 'spice' or uniqueness to her demeanour or styling. On a superficial level I pass much better looking women on the street on the subway every day.
She really lacks self-awareness. Her recent expose is harming Ryan Reynolds' personal brand too. Both of them more celebrity than actor, known for movie characters where they basically play themselves.
I feel like her husband had such a success with Deadpool & Wolverine, not just the movie but the marketing up until the release that she felt like she could ride off that success but she tried to copy his "style" a bit too much. Ryan's personality is very sarcastic, quick and funny but it always lands cause he's not afraid to joke about himself, while Blake seem to take herself very seriously.
On the other hand I would LOVE a video about Margot Robbie and how she climbed her way to the top and has essentially replaced blake as hollywoods sweetheart
I don't think Margot and blake are in same category. Margot went from being blonde sex symbol to actress with Oscar winning potential to now and IT girl and a certified Hollywood celebrity ppl look forward to. Margot doesn't have her personal life on front for the media as well. I mean we haven't seen her wedding pictures yet and they've been married for almost a decade now. So comparing her and blake isn't tasteful in my opinion but i would LOVE for her to open up and say her process/life on how she made it in Hollywood.
Blake was never Hollywood’s sweetheart. She’s more like the Hollywood girl who peaked in high school and married the quarter back and got sucked into a MLM scam.
Yet he is the only one who spoke out protecting Blake. Funny because he barely spoke in the movie or on the press tour but took his one IG post to protect Blake and Coleen instead of DV victims. He picked the wrong side
If the books I write will become movies, and me and the actors put effort into trasmitting a message while the actress of the main character talks all about the outfits and not about what we want to trasmit, I would be so fed up
The fact that Colleen Hoover sided with Blake doesn't surprise me. CoHo is notorious for trying to market, her dark themed books as cute light fluffy Rom-Coms. Her and Blake are cut from the same cloth
that's because (in this hypothetical) youre a person w compassion and integrity. if u were colleen hoover - however - then ud be shilling your domestic violence colouring books alongside the domestic violence makeup palette
Seriously! I read somewhere that at the time of this interview, they had already confirmed the pregnancy, it was not a big secret - so why the nastiness? I kinda get when tabloids or journalists speculate and try to "get the exclusive" , force you into admitting something you maybe weren't ready to reveal to the public just yet, especially where pregnancy is concerned - but I don't think that was the case here. And the rudeness is just - mind boggling.
Let’s not forget about her and Ryan’s close “friendship” while he was married then soon after she split with her boyfriend he divorced Scarlet Johansson. Then suddenly dating his close “friend”
3:34 THiS. Literally defines her. This moment right there. She ignores the other person just because shes not interested. Shes just a bad person she doesnt think about anyone but herself
I feel like Blake should go the Vanessa Hudgens way and be a Christmas film kinda of girl! I feel like she lacks the awareness of being able to handle heavy projects and the direction of light hearted Christmas romcoms would do her a service if anything. Honestly her team should be on it!
I just deeply feel sorry for Justin Baldoni, this movie could have seen better days if only Blake was not involved in the movie. He didn't deserve this .
A lot of these interviews are years old and I'm pretty sure at this point in her career and her life she believes herself to be untouchable. Justin baldoni hired one of the best PR lawyers because he probably believed he was going to get steamrolled by all of the negative press that was coming, only to discover that most of the public is siding with him. He is such a brave man all ready for purchasing the rights and trying desperately to bring awareness to DV. I'm glad he's not being persecuted. I wasn't a fan of the book but I'm glad that the movie is doing well and Blake lively's disgraceful behavior is it negatively impacting that.
The thing is - it's like this only on TH-cam. If you read any of the articles about this mess they mostly point at Justin being problematic or both being problematic. So he needs that pr in mainstream media
@@avp6730 Thats the point. If you read deeper into all the claims about him it's nonsense. (ie the 'fat shaming' accusations). Also side note, while most of the cast stopped following Justin most of the crew have not. Now, the crew are the seers of everything, the unsung heroes the working class the over worked and underpaid. I'd trust their judgement over Blake Lively and anyone defending her right now.
It’s a small detail but I can’t stand when I see celebs throw up their legs with shoes on the couch.. never liked it. Pairing this with her attitude it’s just a big mess
omg I felt the same way as you did. She come off so obnoxious, rude and icky honestly. How she treated those interviewer says it all gives karen and mean girl vibeyikes !
It’s an American thing. They seem to not realize that taking your shoes off keeps your home cleaner. I used to think that the Disney actors wearing their shoes on their bed was just a Hollywood thing, but apparently this is actually common down there? So confusing.
@@qwinlyn yeah I know about the shoes indoors, mostly because America has scorpions and brown recluse running around. What I’m focusing on is when these people are on an interview and they throw up their legs like they are home sitting like a child.. idk maybe it’s the Swedish hardness in me but it looks so unprofessional 🙃
@@Lemonpatootie pair that when she says about dv victims approaching her “maybe give them my address” like wtf 🥲 at least give them a hug and give them a tipoff for a good hotline that specializes in dv to get the support they need or something 🤦♀️
What's worse is that the author said the story is loosly based on her own mother's abused past. She made the coloring book, and I think, a nail polish line. Noone was really promoting it like the director. She was always with Blake.
colleen hoover literally writes all of her male love interests to be just as abusive as ryle, too... only the rest get happy endings. one male love interest cheats on his wife in front of her for an entire book (she was paralysed or smn) and then kills her, one keeps his gf bound to a bed to be tortured for the entire book (whilst also cheating on her), one sets his future gf's home on fire w her inside - leaving her w burns all over her body that ruin her career before she's even 18; almost all of them rape the protagonists of their respective-books, and colleen has an obsession w including scenes of the male love interests body-blocking the protagonist and keeping her trapped inside a room w him. even atlas (who's supposed to be the good "saviour" in "it ends w us") is weird and toxic in a myriad of ways lmfao. likewise, the book is called "it ends w us" because lily decides to leave ryle in order to prevent the abuse cycle spreading to hers and ryle's kids... then she lets him have split custody in the epilogue. it literally did *not* end w us. and all of that's not even touching on her obsession w her father (who abused her mother, and inspired ryle's character) or the rape allegations against her son. blake and ryan seem like nasty pieces of work, but the fact that the public is making out like theyve sullied a "beautiful, heart-wrenching" tale abt abuse is extremely annoying - the director seems like the only person who even cares abt this subject and not even that was enough to stop the film from ending up a toxic dumpster fire
@Kiki-cs8xv -- Probably not, but I'm not sure she set out to write an objective book about DV. Or set any records straight about the issues involved or related to it, or show how problematic situations and toxic people can and should be dealt with by individuals or society as a whole. . It sounds like she wrote her story ofc in part for profit but also (maybe subconsciously) simply to process her own childhood and issues. Obviously, her dedication to her abusive father indicates she needs to keep on processing and healing a little... or a lot... more. But still, you get what I mean, I'm sure.
this is what happens when people don't study anything and never get to mature. instead they just enroll acting that convinces them they're the most special thing on the world.
I think the reason why Blake was likable before was because she was mostly just a doll for designers to put clothes on. Her charm disappeared the minute she opened her mouth.
If she let Baldoni direct the film the way he wanted, she would have been getting praise for the role. Baldoni wanted to add depth to the character that would have won her some awards and some respect.
As someone who had tolerated her since 2007 and found her intolerable since she married that dude, allow me to say that Blake Lively was certainly not loved by everyone. In fact, despite being in various comparatively successful projects, people barely knew her. She and her husband have definitely tried to pose as a "power couple" but they never actually reached that status, no matter how much the industry pushes them. She's a traditionally pretty lady by western standards, I'll give her that. But she has zero charisma or talent and she has only managed to stay "relevant" through being related or connected to more famous folks.
@dhsf5937 -- And she even admitted it. Talking about her parents paying (the director?) of a project, a competition of some kind iirc, off when she was younger so that she came out on top... even though it was for musicians and in her own words she can't sing. This was in some interview with Whoopi Goldberg. . She appears to be proud of stuff like this, like she thinks people will be all excited for her and jealous over how 'cool' it was that her parents did that and that it worked. She seems to have little to no awareness of how bad it makes her look and why so (and how bad it made her parents look, and why she was probably supposed to keep it a secret). . Nearly everything about how she behaves shows she is the logical conclusion of what happens when parents take the spoil-kids-rotten route and basically kinda ruin their kid's odds of healthy relationships with decent people who actually like them (and would even if they weren't rich and/or good looking). It's not the kindness parents think it is to raise kids this way.
Glad that you’re covering this topic! I used to love blake esp her met gala fashion, but not anymore. Not when she showed her true colors. So dissapointing
She would’ve been better off taking the movie seriously making sure it was a success, and then releasing her brands after a while after the movie, but while she is still in the limelight from it.
Blake may have ruined Ryan Reynolds' brand too. I used to like him and his movies, with "Definitely, Maybe" and "The Proposal" along with the "Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place" TV show were among my favorites to rewatch, but hearing Blake and he went behind the script writer's back, having Ryan rewrite a scene during the writers' strike and the weird bit of him interviewing the male supporting actor acting like a controlling husband for the interview promoting a movie about DV makes me wonder if I'll be able to watch him in a movie after this without cringing.
It is kind of making me question him as a person, but it's mostly genuine surprise that he married someone like this, and also that he left ScarJo for her! My impression is actually not that Ryan is some bad guy, but that Blake is very controlling and demanding behind the scenes.
Ryan Reynolds has also gotten really into kpop brand stray kids and is in their latest video, and I can't help but wonder if their PR firm is concerned about this because kpop PR is no joke
Crazy idea but don't you think that Blake used to be a pretty nice and pleasant person before she got married to Ryan Reynolds...? Ryan Reynolds on the other hand has always seemed a bit smug and snarky in interviews. There's been rumors that he's controlling and jealous of his partners if their careers are going well. I feel like the change we see in Blake now is the result of his influence...?!
@@rosethorn0232 ScarJo was a big star when Ryan Reynolds didn't have a big career. She also wasn't ready to settle down & pop out children, which would've slowed down her career in its peak. Blake on the other hand didn't really do any movies & she was willing to have a bunch of kids back to back. Taking the backseat while Ryan built his career. & now everyone is shocked that they're married. Birds of a feather flock together
Plus Ryan and Blake commissioned an editor he knew to do an alternate ending. How rude and disrespectful is that to the director, basically saying they didn’t want his ending. How arrogant, when Justin was the executive producer, director, and has all rights to the book.
It's dyed, right? No idea if she's a natural blonde or not, but I get the feeling that she's banking on the COLOUR of her hair to sell the haircare products instead of the STATE of it. Seems on brand for someone who got married on a plantation...
“people will remember how you made them feel.” Kjersten Flaa, the journalist who interviewed her, is a perfect illustration of this part of Maya Angelou’s quote 👌
Oh wow, I usually listen to youtube vids when working, but seeing this interview 3:33, that really is a mean thing to do, literally just having a conversation between themselves while icing out the INTERVIEWER during an interview?
A well known behavior analyst who has a ytube channel watched the interview and said her behaviors show it was her intention to bring negativity in the interview (I would say, more specifically to the interviewer). He said she showed condescending behavior and took uncalled for jabs at the interviewer, only confirming what everyone else saw.
That surprised me too the way Parker Posey just kept going on with it. It looked at first like she was going to genuinely answer the fashion question, but when Blake interrupted and asked if the men would be asked about the clothes they both just carried on with the mean girl routine. Totally uncalled for behaviour.
@@vickijackson5547 I feel like she was basically trying to copy what Scarlett Johansson and Hilary Clinton have pulled off in previous interviews (when asked gendered clothing questions) but with WAY more class (e.g. ScarJo was being asked about what underwear she wore under her 'tight' superhero outfit, & Hilary Clinton was asked which designer she wore during her political campaign).
5:04 “least problematic couples” not sure if it’s going to come up later, but Ryan Reynolds getting divorced the same year that he met Blake Lively and them having a plantation wedding… they were always problematic they were just also popular enough to drown it out.
I’ve never known anything bout her and only saw her in one movie before all this drama started and am shocked that everyone didn’t just see her as a one dimensional mean girl this whole time lol
@elsasanders929 I mean Hugo Boss was famed by the Nazi uniform in 1940s and look at it now, Chris Hemsworth and that are the face of it 😅 That's a major brand turn around.
I had that thought too considering this is probably the longest people have ever talked about Blake Lively...but she would have become more famous anyway and been better off had she just NOT been so tone deaf and the movie still did well. I believe this book has a sequel so it could have turned into a lucrative franchise if done right. Maybe get her some award noms if she gave her best performance. All these old interviews would probably not even be coming back to bite her rn if she had an ounce of care for the subject matter of her movie. People would see her as compassionate now and forgive anything she did in the past.
I loved how Anna Kendrick really humbled Blake during A Simple Favor's promotions. Blake really met her competition. It felt like "when a part-time bully meets a pro bully".
I’m so glad that, despite her efforts, Justin is coming out with his reputation clean from this feud. He seems like a genuine good guy and she tried to squish him, trying to leverage her husband’s power and it BACKFIRED! Justin is the hero in this story
Yeah, seeing how he actually officiated Gina Rodriguez's wedding (despite literally being her love interest in Jane the Virgin) gave me a lot of respect for him - despite being an actor, Justin Baldoni is still comfortable *not* being the centre of attention & literally supporting others in the spotlight instead. Something Blake Lively could learn from him.
Blake it's definitely an attention seeker She wants to have her moment Like when she said: "the never ask the men about their clothes"on an era when ScarJo had many complains when playing BlackWidow bc they centered on her body and clothes. Now with the Barbie Movie, a love letter to fashion, sorority and feminity, except that Barbie was never about DV
And we shouldn't overlook the fact that she has tried so badly to paint Justin Baldoni (main actor AND director of "It ends with us") in such a bad light and has taken all the credits to her, she has changed the movie script behind the director's back, turned it into HER movie during and after, while Justin has just been staying in the background, not showing off, being the voice for DV survivors, protecting himself from all the drama and just has been a gentleman about Blake although she's been a real B... to him. She seems to have very deep insecurities and has for sure narcissistic tendencies. I have never liked her and couldn't put my finger on why, now I can see why.
I've dealt with infertility and it was so heartbreaking, if someone had made that comment to me I would have immediately burst in to tears I feel so bad for that interviewer 🥺
I knew she has a mean streak when she jumped on the "Where's Kate/photoshop fails" bandwagon , but when she found out the Princess of Wales was fighting cancer _SHE_ felt mortified ? Yes, Blake, it is about you, again 🙄
The reporter had a fashion niche. So OF COURSE she would bring the questions about fashion up. During that time the me too movement was starting in the media and actresses were clapping back at sexism during interviews, as they should when there was indeed sexism. She wanted a moment like the other actresses to show justice in a way. But, wrong reporter to do it with certainly…

I can't imagine being a DV victim or survivor and going to watch this movie thinking it's a fun romcom only to find yourself reliving your worst moments. I got out of a toxic relationship 8 years ago and I know I would have been triggered badly or dissociated.
The first interview I ever read was where she said she knew Penn from somewhere and didn’t like him for some reason, so poisoned the entire Gossip Girl cast against him. Also, she told the stylist „you can’t give this bag to Blair, we can totally make it Serena“, when there was an item she liked. Idk. It sounded like Mean Girl behavior to me and I haven’t liked her since.
I think what so many people get wrong about the "congrats on your little bump" comment is that Blake wasn't refering to the interviewer's actual physical appearance or possible pregnancy. She wanted to show how much of a feminist she is and how "well" she can deflect from an interviewer commenting on her body, essentially giving her a taste of her own medicine. This fell flat because the interviewer's comment was never meant to objectify her body, shame, or praise her. She made a comment about Blake's life circumstances and congratulating her about the new life she was expecting. Blake defended herself from something that wasn't an attack and really hurt somebody in the process.
This just confirms my opinion that I never thought Blake was the best casting choice for this. Why was a ginger woman not cast? Lily Bloom is a ginger!!!
@@AquilaLeighYoga ommgg she would have SO GOOD! And her sarcasm would have brought that out with lily’s character… I never saw Lilly as the popular mean girl that Blake is, I picture her as a gentle caring soul who is torn between love and despair. Sadie would have made it great
@@AquilaLeighYoga Sadie was the first person I thought of when I heard about this movie being made. I have no clue how they thought Blake was the right choice
Right?? I don’t like Taylor personally but I love Sabrina carpenter and this is making me question her character considering her friendship with Taylor…
@@justanymphI was friends with someone with lacking morals for years, and then again with another woman. 10 years with the first and 6 with the second, I think, and I learned how to behave a long time ago. I tried to understand their POV and be there for them before I realized that they're JUST selfish! So, don't judge Sabrina Carpenter based on Taylor just yet, she might giving her the benefit of the doubt as well, and also she probably feels she couldn't survive the backlash if she distanced herself. I don't know much about these artists, I listened to Sabrina for the first time today and I haven't liked Taylor since "Lovestory", but I just wanted to share that being friends with someone selfish can take a toll on an understanding person until they're pushed to their limit and eventually leaves that friendship behind. Either way, it's probably good to not assume anything about a celebrity and just enjoy their art while we can 😅
@@carrained thank you, I don’t want to judge Sabrina at all, and I’m very thankful you pointed out I was, as well as sharing your experience to help me understand. Sabrina definitely seems sweet and Taylor’s fans can be pretty terrible, so I get why she couldn’t distance herself as easily as the average person can❤️
@@carrained Yes, I feel like no one talks about this but it takes COURAGE to break off a toxic friendship! Granted, it's likely not as intertwined as a romantic relationship BUT it can still be unhealthily codependent. It takes time. I remember being so nervous before turning down someone I'd decided didn't add anything positive to my life anymore - but the mean & selfish way in which she reacted proved to me I made the right choice. It really isn't for the faint of heart, because people don't really understand the concept of actively breaking up a friendship (instead of just letting it fade/ ghost out). Edit: spelling
So my theory is that Blake was trying hard to pull a Florence Pugh Don’t Worry Darling situation. Both hated the movies they were in, had alleged feuds with the director over artistic visions, both movies flopped from the SOURCE at making their feminist points. Except, Florence has had a record of incredibly thoughtful feminist statements. On top of this, even though Don’t Worry Darling is also about domestic violence, it’s divorced enough from the real world that its impact isn’t quite so personal. Florence said so herself, when she said she didn’t want her role in the film reduced to her sex scenes. If they were trying to emulate Florence’s response to DWD, they missed the mark BIG TIME. They looked at the surface and none of the substance. Florence at the end of the day emerged with grace, because she wasn’t directly petty (even if people around her were) and because she also took the time to be thoughtful and respectful about why she chose to sign onto the movie in the first place- to portray a story that might be impactful for women. Blake wanted so bad to be the internet hero against the bad guy director, she forgot all of the important bits- that It Ends With Us shouldn’t be reduced to something.
If that's what she was aiming for, it's quite funny that she turned out more like Olivia Wilde. Both almost seemed to forget the abuse their female main character is put through, while doing the press. Florence and Justin on the other hand, were taking the serious stuff seriously.
imho Florence coming out with those fashion style at Venice is a great cherry on the feuding cake. But Florence had public outrage at Olivia breaking covid protocols on set, and Blake doesn't have any bases
She makes these rude, off putting comments like she thinks she's making a joke... Except its not funny. Ever. It comes off condescending, sarcastic and just MEAN .
16:47 I doubt she read the book. What the character wears is inconsequential to the story. She desperately wanted her a Barbie moment bc she was mad they didn't cast her for that film.
I let everyone hate me for saying this: Never liked her in GG, never thought she is pretty, never understood what Ryan saw in her. Mean girl energy all the way and even shows on the face. Beauty comes from within.
They aren’t together for 17 years But mind that Blake can’t stand Margot and has been jealous since Margot got the role in the Wolf she wanted and was nobody in Hollywood.
I think she meant weve seen her on TV and movies for 17 years, most notably when Gossip Girl started in 2007 that's when people started to know she was
youre a grown ass woman living in a world of rapists and homewreckers and you dare to come for a woman like taylor swift due to "vibes". There is nothing about taylor swift any more wrong than any other celebrity. Put that phone down and do your chore, lmao..
She will become the ultimate apologize girl. Make plantation wedding then apologize and donate. Make "preserve" and "antebellum allure" then apologize. Make fun on questions about DV than apologize (and possibly donate). Like being considerate and thinking few steps ahead is so hard for her.
In a world where crimes against women are on the rise, its so tone deaf to romanticise this kind of relationship. Im glad people are talking about it and pushing back so that some young girls don't fall into the trap of allowing someone to be abusive with them. I personally dont have an issue with movies portraying these things, but it needs to be stated and the movie needs to be promoted for what it is
Do you think Blake Lively will be seen as the innocent sweetheart she was again?

it makes me appalled how so many can hate on a woman who has done nothing wrong and who is just being herself. she is a great actress and we know nothing about what she is going through in her personal life. please stop with this nonsensical hatred and trying to gain money from it, you do not deserve the cash from such a terrible video hating on her. she is a beautiful woman far more beautiful than you inside and out and you now nothing about her life so to be frank with you... we don't need your video and your opinion. Justin the director of the film hired a pr firm in order to fill social media with hate against her in order to tarnish her image. He is the one on a personal vendetta against her. these types of hate filled videos and comments stem from jealousy and the desire to gain cash as well as join the train of hatred intended to make someone hide away and end their career.
@@patriciabradnorismakingpudding Respectfully, she has demonstrated problematic behaviors in her past interviews and in this current press tour. While I am no way naive to think that the re-emergence of such interviews are not due to his PR team, but some of her actions are inexcusable like promoting her alcohol brand alongside a movie about DV. According to WHO, about 50% of the DV involved alcohol. Alcohol can often increase the possibility of DV events occurring. She was a producer of the movie, where she allowed her husband to make changes to the script without informing the scriptwriters. As a producer, this was highly unprofessional and potentially fireable action (if she was regular person). Please do not enable such problematic behaviors by targeting individuals who are rightfully critiquing her actions.
i believe leighton meester would do something great of lily role as she know about toxic relationship aka bad blood with blake and her mum . she also wore born in prison
I feel like this video was incredibly non-biased. Unlike other videos, I’ve watched on this matter. If you don’t want to watch peoples take on this situation, Dont. As someone who was a big fan of Blake’s… let’s be honest she is absolutely not a good actress. That has not stopped me from watching her films and of course GG. Like her husband, she has one role she can play and that would be herself. However, I have been biased and in the past, loved her for her. The point of all of this, has been to show how tone deaf she has been not only in promoting this movie about DV and SA.. But also, where she got married, her failed website about antebellum fashion.. And her history of not getting along with co- stars on set.
It’s been a repetitive theme.
Which is unfortunate. It’s not about hating her. It’s about calling out entitled , ignorant, Repugnant behavior.
Something is Provoking you about this video that stays anti-bullying throughout. It speaks on facts. Not speculation.
It’s unfortunate when you find out a celebrity you admired turns out to be something different. It’s another reminder. Hollywood is fucked up. Also, she was a Harvey Weinstein girl, her public comments about him are really questionable… And some people feel her public comments about, Woody Allen are the same. These are all facts. You can do with that what you want. However, coming onto this platform and stating this TH-camr is hating on Blake lively due to jealousy is preposterous. Check yourself.
@@patriciabradnorismakingpudding
I don’t think it is hate. It is just ppl being disgusting and disappointed. But she will never victim she is you know multitudes.
Do we think after Barbie movie came out, people in her inner cirlce were like "You should've been Barbie! You're a real life Barbie!" and so then she picked her next project and decided to just turn that into her excuse to "be" Barbie? I feel like we're watching a real-life "I'll show them who's Barbie!" saga play out.
Interesting take
She’s no Margot Robbie. That’s for sure 🤦♂️
@@Lawlllz and she will never be, if barbie was starred by her and her man writing it, it would have flop
Isn't she too old for all of that though, IK Margot is not 20 either but she does have a younger vibe,blake looks like she could play barbie's mom or elder sister.
Definitely, like if Barbie came out in like 2010, she would have tried so hard to play her. Also in a Simple Favour interview with Anna Kendrick, Blake says she WISHED she could play a Disney princess. So the mentality is there. There's nothing deep about playing a Disney princess, so very up her street of an aspirational 'it girl' 'beauty centric' type role rather than a role about struggle like Lilly Bloom, but of course she made it all about fashion for some bizarre reason.
no cause the "fat shaming" was him asking a coach how he can train to lift her in the air so he doesn't hurt his back. Like, that's a valid concern, even for people who don't have back problems. and he DOES have a history of back issues. She's a grown woman, she weighs the amount a grown adult weighs, god forbid he try to train so he doesn't injure himself lifting her up.
And if she didn’t like her weight, that’s her issue, not Justin’s. Why blame someone else and try to spread false reports for your own problem? He was trying to do this stunt in a professional way with his set trainer.
Yeah people injure their backs lifting something only like 30 or 40 lb, the weight of a human is a lot more than that
Absolutely agree
Also he can't make any hiccups coz she's pregnant on top of that. So he's right to think about consulting for training to lift her up safely for the both of them.
@@happilyevernever4289 Actually she wasn’t pregnant during the filming. Her 4th kid was born before they started filming.
“Split ends with us” made me burst into tears 😭😭
:') genius marketing
Omfg same. 10/10 one-liner
😂😂
Me too😂
😂😂😂
Attacking an interviewer for asking questions about the fashion in a movie where the fashion was unique to the time period and carefully curated, and then making a movie about abuse about her fashion…
Right. And she could’ve used that question as a way to compliment the wardrobe/costume team on doing a fabulous job, but instead she took another hurtful jab at the interviewer in a condescending way.
Right.. and the interviewer even said she would've asked the men the same question BECAUSE IT WAS RELEVANT
AND THE INTERVIEWER EVEN SAID SHE WOULD ASK THE MAN TOO! HER POINT WAS FRICKING WRONG 😭
Not to mention, she worked for a fashion centered company, so her interview questions were always going to be from that angle.
She totally rip that comment off of Scarlet Jo -- She was the one to say it funny enough Scarlet was Ryans EX maybe she's just obsessed with her.
The only reason she was so well liked in the first place was because people have only perceived her through her character in Gossip Girl, her MET gala looks and her social media interactions with her husband. We basically created for her this persona of who we thought she was. It wasn't until It Ends With Us that most of us heard her talk as herself for the first time, and it's just unfortunate that she talks like a self absorbed airhead
I 2nd this. Pretty privilege is so real!
I basically only knew her as Ryan Reynolds' wife and that she was in Gossip Girl, and I'm sure I'm far from the only one. This is so real.
i absolutely agree with you…
This is exactly the conclusion I came to
This!!! Her met gala looks and her banter with Ryan was all I knew her from.
in this whole drama I really felt bad for JUSTIN BALDONI , despite his genuine efforts to promote the movie as it should be blake's pr team constantly tried to paint him as a bad person .....he was the only one who actually talked about the DV issue during press tour but blake literally messed up everything due her ME ME ME attitude
Me too. I feel very sorry for him. He's been treated like crap and I'm glad most people can see that. And he's kept his feelings to himself, bless him. The second movie is now impossible thanks to Blake and her husband's efforts.
It's make me like him so much more. He did an amazing job.
@@sirdidymus24 what do you want? You're triggered when straight feminist men spread awareness, but I bet you're also triggered if they don't.
There is no way to create something that reaches as many people as possible without monetizing it - unless you're an a lister. Which he's not. So taking something that is popular, whether it's problematic or not is actually the smartest thing to do, since it already has a big audience. And him using interviews and podcasts to openly talk about an issue that's still a big taboo in our society, is the right way to go.
"WeAr yOur fLoRalS" is not.
@@sirdidymus24That's just nitpicking at it's finest.
He has pr working for him don't be sorry we don't know the whole story (not saying there is a bad or a good person here just take distance with everything happening, we know pr can be very effective with the exemple of amber vs jonny depp)
“Don’t talk to me about fashion, that’s sexist!” (Proceeds to make a film about DV all about her wardrobe).
“That man with a back injury is fat-shaming me because he wants to know how much he needs to lift!” (Proceeds to fat-shame other women).
Personally, I don’t see her brand recovering from all the hypocrisy and obnoxious behaviour.
She'll probably try to rebrand herself as a diva or try to embody the "mean girl" trope as a way of not taking accountability, which she is already seeming to do. Unless she throws in the towel and waits for everyone to forget about the drama and form a new persona.
I think ppl will forget
@@spiderfart420
Yeah she is multitudes and I don’t get why she tried to victimize herself bcs Justin was worried for his back and her safety.
@@yeikafonfay
Olivia is in limbo and she is in comparison talented.
I never liked her character in Gossip Girl, but I thought she was different when that Adeline movie came out and she played that role very well. She has the best dresses at the met gala so she made me believe she was genuinely kind and caring but now that this drama is everywhere I’m very surprised and convinced that she’s more like serena in real life 😖
It's a little cringe, how much she was feeling herself. She expected this to be her moment and it backfired so bad, I hope younger celebrities will use this as a case-study of what NOT to do!
Media training and self awareness is everything.
Let’s just hope they’re naturally/inherently nicer as well 😇
I think pr teams should be more careful
@@halleykunen1088 That would be ideal!
@Natta44 she's been in the industry forever, she's a nepotism baby. She probably will have had media training... But since her and Ryan, she seems to think they're the biggest IT couple in Hollywood.
These celebs forget that we're the ones who get to decide who stays popular and relevant, especially since Social Media.
I wouldn't say Blake was unproblematic, she didn't get the nickname "Plantation Barbie" out of thin air.
That made me wheeze, ngl 💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't get the plantation thing?
@eva5821 maybe racism? That's were my thoughts went.
@@eva5821 Blake and Ryan got married on a plantation, where there were seven preserved slave cabins on the site. They then tried to say that they just "picked the venue on pinterest" and didn't look more into it.
I mean. The "talk bad or talk good, but talk about me" strategy of her is working pretty well.
I mean… if that was actually her intend yeah 😂 like that red head girl on tiktok but her having “bad talk” going on affects her, her husband, her brands and even Taylor S bc I have seen videos and comments with thousands of likes saying “welp show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are” questioning Taylor S character based on Blake’s so I really don’t think this was intentional or helping her in any way
My personal non marketing educated opinion at just 5 min of this video so if she shares new info or marketing knowledge about how this could be a good thing I would be surprised
Do you think she's profiting off this
@@starlight8290 ok no nuance Nelly, yes she is making money now while killing her brand and that is definitely worth it monetarily in the long run 👍🏻
@@starlight8290 you don't? We would not be talking so much about her otherwise. We would be talking about the movie, maybe. But not about her
I guess, but some people find it gross enough to avoid anything to do with her or her pushy husband.
Blake Lively may not have done a good job at promoting awareness of DV, but she certainly excelled in promoting mean girl high school energy in adulthood.
She should have played Regina George...
She definitely seemed quite immature and unkind for her age.
Ikr she showed excellent awareness about bullying & how bullies act though😂
I grew up on gossip girl. I always felt like Blake’s acting was very one dimensional and boring. Leighton Meester and Penn Badgley were the reasons I was so into the show.
Right?! I loved Blair's character, she was always trying her best and had so much character development. Serena just never seemed to change or grow as a person, she was so boring. I literally watched for Blair and Dorota 😅 Heck even Georgina was more interesting than Serena!
Blair dominated the screen. She held that space. The show tried very hard to put Serena on the pedestal but years later we are, by a large majority, a Blairites
Imagine if you knew how to read and had enjoyed the books first!
Or had an ounce of empaty/compassion when speaking of people who deal with BS on the daily that you could never imagine.

Serena was nicer person
She said in an interview that she can't really just play a role she has to bring herself into it. So I think that was just her
Not even.
I can't wait to see Ryan reynolds joke his way out of this in the next deadpool movie. He might even bring in blake as lady pool to repair her image as well. It will be insufferable. Blake really underestimated how well liked justin baldoni is when she leaked those rumors about him. It backfired so hard. And kudos to the interviewer who exposed her. She waited for the right moment, saw an opportunity and made everything 100 times worse for blake. Bet it was really satisfying for the interviewer after all these years. People never forget how you made them feel.

Nah, because Lehighton carried the whole show, Blake was a supporting role
Can confirm bc as someone who didn’t watch the show, LEIGHTON is the one whose character’s name I knew and associated it with.
Facts!!! I literally hated Blake in Gossip Girl
The lady who was asking her about the wardrobe was literally from a fashion magazine.. and the clip right after where she says that it’s one of her favorite wardrobes on a movie she’s ever worn… you mean your own wardrobe that you brought? Damn she so unbelievably unlikable
Honestly I'm surprised no one suggested to her to make nonalcoholic spritzers which would have made more sense since she doesn't drink and ties into the movie better.
Betty Buzz IS indeed a non-alcoholic brand.
it was non alcoholic but made no money. now it's alcoholic. this woman and her husband are about taking your money: nothing more, nothing less
Betty buzz is sparkling but Betty Booze is alcoholic

I bet that was out of context though, and was probably referring to the characters - "should we be Team Serena or Team Blair?"
Blake and Ryan Reynolds relationship was built on cheating. Justice for ScarJo.
LOUDER
@@Annes.Archives didn’t he cheat on Alanis Morissette with Scarlet Johansson? Ryan Reynolds is the problem, in this case.
@@NOYB8524 He's not likeable and neither is Blake, they deserve each other. Ryan is like those little fish attached to a bigger one, he looked for a woman to be on stardom rise and get some limelight on him, while babytrapping her so he's the main star. They found common ground in ME ME ME attitude as Ryan also tends to play himself and turn everything he touches into a joke. They're shallow, out of touch, lacking authenticity and sensitivity, only after money and their egos being worshipped it seems.
She was never America’s Sweetheart, why do people keep saying that? At most she is just known as Ryan Reynold’s wife, no one was running to go see her movies. It’s wild how we attach the America ‘s Sweetheart moniker to any conventionally attractive white woman.
to make it more dramatic that it needs to be too.
the woman is at best being caught at weird moment that probably live free in her head anyway.
Yeah I honestly didn’t know anything else about her other than the fact that she was Ryan Reynolds’s wife lol.
Well, I've notice a pattern when it comes to the entertainers being labeled as "American Sweetheart" which in my opinion is a sure fire way this person is most likely horrible in front and out of cameras...i.e Rosie O' Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres, Julia Roberts, Reese "do you know who I am" Witherspoon, amongst other I can think from the top of my head, but the point is not all of them are conventionally attractive, take a peak of Ellen DeGeneres without makeup.
True, she never really earned her spot as a Hollywood starlet like Scarlett Johannson, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Lupita etc. But she was always there at the same events when she's never been in anything notable or rememberable. She became A list be association of Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Swift bezzie and other a listers.
@@violetviolent7980That’s fair but Ellen Degeneres was an American Sweetheart, as was Rosie O Donnell, and Oprah Winfrey because they were able to appear relatable while hosting shows that spoke to the American experience. In the same vain of the aforementioned, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, and Meg Ryan, played characters with the All American Girl trait of the girl next door, which got conflated to be the American Sweetheart, which then quickly became the rule to be ‘awarded’ the title as opposed to the exception. So now when you hear the term American Sweetheart, you immediately think of the all American girl next door, which is the aesthetic Blake parallels (conventional attractive white women that seems relatable or that is the aspiration of other women). There is a reason the girl next door in America is typically her phenotype, because ‘otherness’ is not aspirational. I could write an essay on this, but the reality is I’ve given Blake Lively too much of my time, for someone that has zero importance to me. LOL.
I also find it greatly distasteful and disrespectful promoting her wannabe alcohol brand knowing that alcohol is greatly contributing to most of domestic violence cases. Is she still 17 years old playing one of the main characters in a teeny show?? She doesn’t have any more capacity than that, as it seems. And don’t star in a movie about a serious topic if you will just dodge the questions you will logically receive about that topic. She fetched waaaay out of her league and everyone can see that now.
Not trying to defend Blake's behaviour, but Betty Buzz is a non-alcoholic drink.
I really wish Zoe would have at least taken a minute to simply google the brand before making this video and spreading false information. With that being said, I totally agree that Blake promoting her brands along side a movie about domestic violence is tactless and distasteful.
@@daezeamaybe you should look at the commercials for her « soda ». It is shown as a cocktail mix, and no not an alcohol free cocktail mix.
@@daezeait WAS non alcoholic. now she has both because she wasn't making money.
@daezea She had Betty buzz (non alc) and Betty booze (alc) but they still fall under her drinks brand and the fact they were put in cocktails for the Premier party not cocktails. Either way it's still tone deaf. Would be like advertising a clothing brand after making a movie about modern slavery.. tone deaf. There's a time and a place, this wasn't it.
@daezea to be fair, it's too close for comfort
For example, in Russia it's prohibited to advertise alcohol on TV and via other media, BUT you can advertise alcohol-free beer and companies milk that
Studies have proved that strategy like this is just as effective to promote actual alcohol, therefore the policy's argued to be absolutely useless
I feel like she tries to have sarcasm like her husband but it doesn't work out for her.

This was the comment I was looking for.
Literally my thought..when I saw all the interviews it felt like she was trying to to be like Ryan but failed horribly
Not only does alcohol increase the risk of DV, but Hoover wrote the book based on her father's abuse due to *alcoholism*
As of domestic abuse survivor and sexual abuse survivor over several times all I have to say about this is that good for Blake for never having to experience such pain and trauma I mean it’s completely clear by the way she’s been involved in the film, I’m not saying that out of nastiness I’m actually saying that for somebody to act the way she is it shows that she has absolutely never faced the horrors of abuse and I hope she never does because it not only changes your life. It can also destroy it, God bless anybody who has experience such trauma. We are the real superstars not Blake.
Agree and RIP to all those who lost their lives, especially the Olympic runner from Uganda who was recently murdered by her partner
@@gnostic268 I hate how many headlines said she "passed away". She didn't, she was brutally murdered in the presence of her kids.
@@Anna133199Well "passed away", "died", or "was murdered" are all ways of saying someone died. Sorry if that's tone deaf.
100% ♥️
@@roxassora2706fair. Additional take: that when we don’t say murdered, we are not acknowledging that her life ended by a brutal crime being committed. If we hide the bad things they just keep in happening, when we shine a light on them we bring visibility and attention to what may need to be addressed or changed in society. Just my thought.
For a long time, I’ve only ever seen her as a famous person’s wife and a fashionista. I have never taken her seriously as an actress. I definitely wasn’t expecting any fuss about this movie because let’s be real, Her movies are not that great. But this drama, is something I never expected. It definitely put her on the map in a bad way.
Same
Hey man, Sisterhood of the t
Traveling pants is a classic. She's the worst part of that movie, but still.
Same here. I always see her as just another trophy wife. She is flat and boring. And a mediocre actress.
It confusing still as to how she is a 'fashionista' ....this moniker never sat with me as there are so many other celeb starlets who wear their clothing in ways that makes an indelible print on sartorial history. Looks that take your breath away to the point you almost forget who is wearing them. Looks people discuss for decades. This woman is the definition of 'basic' and I never understood why people ranted raved over her fashion choices. And to be fair so many of them were just plain hideous. These looks aren't haute they are hot messes, made worse by how she styled and wore them. She always seemed to me as someone playing dress up. There is never that 'spice' or uniqueness to her demeanour or styling. On a superficial level I pass much better looking women on the street on the subway every day.
She really lacks self-awareness. Her recent expose is harming Ryan Reynolds' personal brand too. Both of them more celebrity than actor, known for movie characters where they basically play themselves.
Honestly at this point i feel like super rich and famous celebrities are so bored they deliberately want to be problematic
I feel like her husband had such a success with Deadpool & Wolverine, not just the movie but the marketing up until the release that she felt like she could ride off that success but she tried to copy his "style" a bit too much. Ryan's personality is very sarcastic, quick and funny but it always lands cause he's not afraid to joke about himself, while Blake seem to take herself very seriously.
Zoey picks up the best topics and also gives such a balanced, neutral take on it.
I try! Learning with you all 🫶🏻💜
it is better than her talking about being skinny promoting eating disorders
good rebranding zoe ngl you really know what you are talking about
@@grogbrogwait what?
she talks abt eating disorders and then makes videos about how “she stays skinny” and her diets
On the other hand I would LOVE a video about Margot Robbie and how she climbed her way to the top and has essentially replaced blake as hollywoods sweetheart
I’d be interested in a video on that, too.
I’m not sure Blake even had that status to begin with.. Margot can actually act, whereas Blake just plays herself in everything
I don't think Margot and blake are in same category. Margot went from being blonde sex symbol to actress with Oscar winning potential to now and IT girl and a certified Hollywood celebrity ppl look forward to. Margot doesn't have her personal life on front for the media as well. I mean we haven't seen her wedding pictures yet and they've been married for almost a decade now. So comparing her and blake isn't tasteful in my opinion but i would LOVE for her to open up and say her process/life on how she made it in Hollywood.
Blake was never Hollywood’s sweetheart. She’s more like the Hollywood girl who peaked in high school and married the quarter back and got sucked into a MLM scam.
Oh my god this is accurate
Whoever the guy is sitting on the couch beside her, he is over her shit.
He played her highschool sweetheart in the movie, I love the fact that he is showing that he is over her shit lol...
Yet he is the only one who spoke out protecting Blake. Funny because he barely spoke in the movie or on the press tour but took his one IG post to protect Blake and Coleen instead of DV victims. He picked the wrong side
feels like he was having his "I've been standing on your side but you're making it difficult" moment
If the books I write will become movies, and me and the actors put effort into trasmitting a message while the actress of the main character talks all about the outfits and not about what we want to trasmit, I would be so fed up
The fact that Colleen Hoover sided with Blake doesn't surprise me. CoHo is notorious for trying to market, her dark themed books as cute light fluffy Rom-Coms. Her and Blake are cut from the same cloth
colleen hover made her book about dv a colouring!!! book 😭like the other person said, they're from the same cloth
that's because (in this hypothetical) youre a person w compassion and integrity. if u were colleen hoover - however - then ud be shilling your domestic violence colouring books alongside the domestic violence makeup palette
@@zaddyfaye6880 When I found out she was a yt woman from Texas. It just clicked for me
“Congrats on your little bump” Blake sweaty who pissed in your cereal this morning😭😭😭😭
sweaty made me piss on my cereal
She does look pretty sweaty at all times
Seriously! I read somewhere that at the time of this interview, they had already confirmed the pregnancy, it was not a big secret - so why the nastiness? I kinda get when tabloids or journalists speculate and try to "get the exclusive" , force you into admitting something you maybe weren't ready to reveal to the public just yet, especially where pregnancy is concerned - but I don't think that was the case here. And the rudeness is just - mind boggling.
Lmao...i bet you meant sweety and i read sweaty and i was like wtf 🤣
Let’s not forget about her and Ryan’s close “friendship” while he was married then soon after she split with her boyfriend he divorced Scarlet Johansson. Then suddenly dating his close “friend”
that's on him though
@@funfcaliforniamaki4591 No, it is on both
Let's not forget he left someone else for Scarlett, so....
3:34 THiS. Literally defines her. This moment right there.
She ignores the other person just because shes not interested.
Shes just a bad person she doesnt think about anyone but herself
It isnt even about professionalism only
I feel like Blake should go the Vanessa Hudgens way and be a Christmas film kinda of girl! I feel like she lacks the awareness of being able to handle heavy projects and the direction of light hearted Christmas romcoms would do her a service if anything.
Honestly her team should be on it!
I agree about Blake not handling heavy material well. But I think Vanessa does fine with it. Check her out in "The Frozen Ground" or "Polar".
Vanessa can actually sing though and plays to her strengths and not oversell herself. She was great in tick tick boom
@@jadefire2817 okay 👌
@@lizzychan844 Agreed. She also gave an incredible performance as Rizzo in Grease Live
But Vanessa Hudgens' acting ability is not at 0% 😂
I just deeply feel sorry for Justin Baldoni, this movie could have seen better days if only Blake was not involved in the movie. He didn't deserve this .
Parker Posey lost a lot of my respect, too, for her mean-girl treatment of the interviewer
I had to do a double check but yup, that's her. Such a shame, I loved her in Josie and The Pussycats
She is even worse then Blake there
Had no idea who this woman was before the interview but her body language was so catty. Lost all respect for both women on the spot.
Same
Parker is 55, Blake is 37! Age has no range when you're a b*itch, I guess. That's why they have such chemistry in the interview.
You forgot to mention how quickly she made fun of the Duchess of Cambridge with the ridiculous photoshop ad she posted for betty buzz.
Dunking on someone who has cancer is pretty low.
We don’t care about KM.
It’s irrelevant ngl
Nobody knew what was going on then so we were looking for pol
@@2okaycola does that make it ok?
A lot of these interviews are years old and I'm pretty sure at this point in her career and her life she believes herself to be untouchable. Justin baldoni hired one of the best PR lawyers because he probably believed he was going to get steamrolled by all of the negative press that was coming, only to discover that most of the public is siding with him. He is such a brave man all ready for purchasing the rights and trying desperately to bring awareness to DV. I'm glad he's not being persecuted. I wasn't a fan of the book but I'm glad that the movie is doing well and Blake lively's disgraceful behavior is it negatively impacting that.
The thing is - it's like this only on TH-cam. If you read any of the articles about this mess they mostly point at Justin being problematic or both being problematic. So he needs that pr in mainstream media
@@avp6730 Thats the point. If you read deeper into all the claims about him it's nonsense. (ie the 'fat shaming' accusations). Also side note, while most of the cast stopped following Justin most of the crew have not. Now, the crew are the seers of everything, the unsung heroes the working class the over worked and underpaid. I'd trust their judgement over Blake Lively and anyone defending her right now.
It’s a small detail but I can’t stand when I see celebs throw up their legs with shoes on the couch.. never liked it. Pairing this with her attitude it’s just a big mess
omg I felt the same way as you did. She come off so obnoxious, rude and icky honestly. How she treated those interviewer says it all gives karen and mean girl vibeyikes !
It’s an American thing. They seem to not realize that taking your shoes off keeps your home cleaner.
I used to think that the Disney actors wearing their shoes on their bed was just a Hollywood thing, but apparently this is actually common down there? So confusing.
@@qwinlyn yeah I know about the shoes indoors, mostly because America has scorpions and brown recluse running around. What I’m focusing on is when these people are on an interview and they throw up their legs like they are home sitting like a child.. idk maybe it’s the Swedish hardness in me but it looks so unprofessional 🙃
OMG YOU SAID IT it just showcases an unprofessional and an unbothered attitude
@@Lemonpatootie pair that when she says about dv victims approaching her “maybe give them my address” like wtf 🥲 at least give them a hug and give them a tipoff for a good hotline that specializes in dv to get the support they need or something 🤦♀️
What's worse is that the author said the story is loosly based on her own mother's abused past. She made the coloring book, and I think, a nail polish line. Noone was really promoting it like the director. She was always with Blake.
I will forever be a CoHo and every year, I find new reasons to hate her all over again. Yep, she and Blake are cut from the same cloth
colleen hoover literally writes all of her male love interests to be just as abusive as ryle, too... only the rest get happy endings. one male love interest cheats on his wife in front of her for an entire book (she was paralysed or smn) and then kills her, one keeps his gf bound to a bed to be tortured for the entire book (whilst also cheating on her), one sets his future gf's home on fire w her inside - leaving her w burns all over her body that ruin her career before she's even 18; almost all of them rape the protagonists of their respective-books, and colleen has an obsession w including scenes of the male love interests body-blocking the protagonist and keeping her trapped inside a room w him.
even atlas (who's supposed to be the good "saviour" in "it ends w us") is weird and toxic in a myriad of ways lmfao. likewise, the book is called "it ends w us" because lily decides to leave ryle in order to prevent the abuse cycle spreading to hers and ryle's kids... then she lets him have split custody in the epilogue. it literally did *not* end w us. and all of that's not even touching on her obsession w her father (who abused her mother, and inspired ryle's character) or the rape allegations against her son.
blake and ryan seem like nasty pieces of work, but the fact that the public is making out like theyve sullied a "beautiful, heart-wrenching" tale abt abuse is extremely annoying - the director seems like the only person who even cares abt this subject and not even that was enough to stop the film from ending up a toxic dumpster fire
@@zaddyfaye6880 thank you for all of that info. Well said. Did the book end differently from the movie?
I mean, the author also dedicated the book to her abusive father, so I'm not sure she's the right person to write an objective story about DV.
@Kiki-cs8xv -- Probably not, but I'm not sure she set out to write an objective book about DV. Or set any records straight about the issues involved or related to it, or show how problematic situations and toxic people can and should be dealt with by individuals or society as a whole.
.
It sounds like she wrote her story ofc in part for profit but also (maybe subconsciously) simply to process her own childhood and issues. Obviously, her dedication to her abusive father indicates she needs to keep on processing and healing a little... or a lot... more. But still, you get what I mean, I'm sure.
We need to understand that we don’t know celebrities personally, and that you should not idolize them blindly
I don’t understand how everyone ignore the fact that they had an affair before ryan divorced scarlet
this is what happens when people don't study anything and never get to mature. instead they just enroll acting that convinces them they're the most special thing on the world.
I think the reason why Blake was likable before was because she was mostly just a doll for designers to put clothes on. Her charm disappeared the minute she opened her mouth.
Blake wasn’t “Hollywood’s Sweetheart.” She’s more of an appendage, and not a major star in her own right - Ryan’s wife, Taylor’s friend etc.
If she let Baldoni direct the film the way he wanted, she would have been getting praise for the role. Baldoni wanted to add depth to the character that would have won her some awards and some respect.
As someone who had tolerated her since 2007 and found her intolerable since she married that dude, allow me to say that Blake Lively was certainly not loved by everyone. In fact, despite being in various comparatively successful projects, people barely knew her. She and her husband have definitely tried to pose as a "power couple" but they never actually reached that status, no matter how much the industry pushes them. She's a traditionally pretty lady by western standards, I'll give her that. But she has zero charisma or talent and she has only managed to stay "relevant" through being related or connected to more famous folks.
OUCH! But also...can't argue the points. LOL
She also is only part of the industry because she is a nepo baby.
@dhsf5937 -- And she even admitted it. Talking about her parents paying (the director?) of a project, a competition of some kind iirc, off when she was younger so that she came out on top... even though it was for musicians and in her own words she can't sing. This was in some interview with Whoopi Goldberg.
.
She appears to be proud of stuff like this, like she thinks people will be all excited for her and jealous over how 'cool' it was that her parents did that and that it worked. She seems to have little to no awareness of how bad it makes her look and why so (and how bad it made her parents look, and why she was probably supposed to keep it a secret).
.
Nearly everything about how she behaves shows she is the logical conclusion of what happens when parents take the spoil-kids-rotten route and basically kinda ruin their kid's odds of healthy relationships with decent people who actually like them (and would even if they weren't rich and/or good looking). It's not the kindness parents think it is to raise kids this way.
I am so glad that the public is not putting up with the rudeness of celebrities anymore.
Glad that you’re covering this topic! I used to love blake esp her met gala fashion, but not anymore. Not when she showed her true colors. So dissapointing
“Not when she showed her true colors”
She’s clearly been like this. In public. Numerous times. But, you followed the mob when that time came.
@@channahnoyb4803 facts. I always got bad vibes from her. Most people were like "yOu'Re JuSt jEaLoUs🤡". Now they are realizing it coz of crowd
She became real life serena , always tryna act all shy and nice but actually all that is just an act
Yep. How people liked Serina's character I'll never know. She was a horrid person!
Who is Serena?
The first word in her vocabulary is literally “me”
Multitudes me
The only word in her vocabulary is 'me'
either "me" or "i" lol
She would’ve been better off taking the movie seriously making sure it was a success, and then releasing her brands after a while after the movie, but while she is still in the limelight from it.
I just think being Ryan’s wife and bff with Taylor has gotten to her head.
What does it say about Taylor to be friends with her?
Blake may have ruined Ryan Reynolds' brand too. I used to like him and his movies, with "Definitely, Maybe" and "The Proposal" along with the "Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place" TV show were among my favorites to rewatch, but hearing Blake and he went behind the script writer's back, having Ryan rewrite a scene during the writers' strike and the weird bit of him interviewing the male supporting actor acting like a controlling husband for the interview promoting a movie about DV makes me wonder if I'll be able to watch him in a movie after this without cringing.
It is kind of making me question him as a person, but it's mostly genuine surprise that he married someone like this, and also that he left ScarJo for her! My impression is actually not that Ryan is some bad guy, but that Blake is very controlling and demanding behind the scenes.
Ryan Reynolds has also gotten really into kpop brand stray kids and is in their latest video, and I can't help but wonder if their PR firm is concerned about this because kpop PR is no joke
Crazy idea but don't you think that Blake used to be a pretty nice and pleasant person before she got married to Ryan Reynolds...? Ryan Reynolds on the other hand has always seemed a bit smug and snarky in interviews. There's been rumors that he's controlling and jealous of his partners if their careers are going well. I feel like the change we see in Blake now is the result of his influence...?!
@@rosethorn0232 ScarJo was a big star when Ryan Reynolds didn't have a big career. She also wasn't ready to settle down & pop out children, which would've slowed down her career in its peak. Blake on the other hand didn't really do any movies & she was willing to have a bunch of kids back to back. Taking the backseat while Ryan built his career. & now everyone is shocked that they're married. Birds of a feather flock together
Plus Ryan and Blake commissioned an editor he knew to do an alternate ending. How rude and disrespectful is that to the director, basically saying they didn’t want his ending. How arrogant, when Justin was the executive producer, director, and has all rights to the book.
Blake Lively's satisfying downfall was not in my 2024 bingo card *Sighing blissfully*
A lot of things are happening in 2024.
Now that I think about it, Blake’s hair always looks messy and fried. Why would anyone follow her hair care routine
Straw hair. Gross
It's dyed, right? No idea if she's a natural blonde or not, but I get the feeling that she's banking on the COLOUR of her hair to sell the haircare products instead of the STATE of it.
Seems on brand for someone who got married on a plantation...
“people will remember how you made them feel.”
Kjersten Flaa, the journalist who interviewed her, is a perfect illustration of this part of Maya Angelou’s quote 👌
Oh wow, I usually listen to youtube vids when working, but seeing this interview 3:33, that really is a mean thing to do, literally just having a conversation between themselves while icing out the INTERVIEWER during an interview?
Yes, they seemed so immature. :/
A well known behavior analyst who has a ytube channel watched the interview and said her behaviors show it was her intention to bring negativity in the interview (I would say, more specifically to the interviewer). He said she showed condescending behavior and took uncalled for jabs at the interviewer, only confirming what everyone else saw.
That surprised me too the way Parker Posey just kept going on with it. It looked at first like she was going to genuinely answer the fashion question, but when Blake interrupted and asked if the men would be asked about the clothes they both just carried on with the mean girl routine. Totally uncalled for behaviour.
@@vickijackson5547 I feel like she was basically trying to copy what Scarlett Johansson and Hilary Clinton have pulled off in previous interviews (when asked gendered clothing questions) but with WAY more class (e.g. ScarJo was being asked about what underwear she wore under her 'tight' superhero outfit, & Hilary Clinton was asked which designer she wore during her political campaign).
That's my favorite quote....people forget what you say and do but never how you made them feel....
5:04 “least problematic couples” not sure if it’s going to come up later, but Ryan Reynolds getting divorced the same year that he met Blake Lively and them having a plantation wedding… they were always problematic they were just also popular enough to drown it out.
The it ends with us movie made me cry for all the wrong reasons
:'') that's why it was such a shame- there was such an important message being overlooked because of the dramas
I believe Blake is trying to show she is funny with a touch of sarcasm. She misses the mark completely. It’s not working for her.
I’ve never known anything bout her and only saw her in one movie before all this drama started and am shocked that everyone didn’t just see her as a one dimensional mean girl this whole time lol
Surely being cancelled is THE new way to get famous?
fame comes and goes, but a brand lasts
Could you analyse some successful brands? Or is there no more theese days 😭
@@elsasanders929 Oooooooooo i would LOVE to watch that!
@elsasanders929 I mean Hugo Boss was famed by the Nazi uniform in 1940s and look at it now, Chris Hemsworth and that are the face of it 😅 That's a major brand turn around.
I had that thought too considering this is probably the longest people have ever talked about Blake Lively...but she would have become more famous anyway and been better off had she just NOT been so tone deaf and the movie still did well. I believe this book has a sequel so it could have turned into a lucrative franchise if done right. Maybe get her some award noms if she gave her best performance. All these old interviews would probably not even be coming back to bite her rn if she had an ounce of care for the subject matter of her movie. People would see her as compassionate now and forgive anything she did in the past.
I loved how Anna Kendrick really humbled Blake during A Simple Favor's promotions. Blake really met her competition. It felt like "when a part-time bully meets a pro bully".
Let's not forget, Blake doesn't drink alcohol but she promotes her alcohol company in a DV movie.
You know who would have done a PHENOMENAL job with this movie? Margot Robbie
I’m so glad that, despite her efforts, Justin is coming out with his reputation clean from this feud. He seems like a genuine good guy and she tried to squish him, trying to leverage her husband’s power and it BACKFIRED! Justin is the hero in this story
Yeah, seeing how he actually officiated Gina Rodriguez's wedding (despite literally being her love interest in Jane the Virgin) gave me a lot of respect for him - despite being an actor, Justin Baldoni is still comfortable *not* being the centre of attention & literally supporting others in the spotlight instead. Something Blake Lively could learn from him.
Personally going into the movie and not knowing what it was about was extremely upsetting and gave me a panic attack.
I'm afraid so many people got into it clueless and got massively triggered, because it was marketed as a romcom
@@CiaLaViragoIt was WHAT-
Sorry about your experience ☹️ the marketing almost got me too
I feel like you should do snoop doug cause that guy is a genius in marketing i feel
if you're interested, seb a french youtuber made a huge video about all of his career and it's really cool !
Blake it's definitely an attention seeker
She wants to have her moment
Like when she said: "the never ask the men about their clothes"on an era when ScarJo had many complains when playing BlackWidow bc they centered on her body and clothes.
Now with the Barbie Movie, a love letter to fashion, sorority and feminity, except that Barbie was never about DV
And we shouldn't overlook the fact that she has tried so badly to paint Justin Baldoni (main actor AND director of "It ends with us") in such a bad light and has taken all the credits to her, she has changed the movie script behind the director's back, turned it into HER movie during and after, while Justin has just been staying in the background, not showing off, being the voice for DV survivors, protecting himself from all the drama and just has been a gentleman about Blake although she's been a real B... to him. She seems to have very deep insecurities and has for sure narcissistic tendencies. I have never liked her and couldn't put my finger on why, now I can see why.
I've dealt with infertility and it was so heartbreaking, if someone had made that comment to me I would have immediately burst in to tears I feel so bad for that interviewer 🥺
I knew she has a mean streak when she jumped on the "Where's Kate/photoshop fails" bandwagon , but when she found out the Princess of Wales was fighting cancer _SHE_ felt mortified ? Yes, Blake, it is about you, again 🙄
The reporter had a fashion niche. So OF COURSE she would bring the questions about fashion up. During that time the me too movement was starting in the media and actresses were clapping back at sexism during interviews, as they should when there was indeed sexism. She wanted a moment like the other actresses to show justice in a way. But, wrong reporter to do it with certainly…

I can't imagine being a DV victim or survivor and going to watch this movie thinking it's a fun romcom only to find yourself reliving your worst moments.
I got out of a toxic relationship 8 years ago and I know I would have been triggered badly or dissociated.
Oh yeah, as a victim, I def didn't watch it. It would've been the same, that and when Split came out. No.
The first interview I ever read was where she said she knew Penn from somewhere and didn’t like him for some reason, so poisoned the entire Gossip Girl cast against him. Also, she told the stylist „you can’t give this bag to Blair, we can totally make it Serena“, when there was an item she liked. Idk. It sounded like Mean Girl behavior to me and I haven’t liked her since.
I think what so many people get wrong about the "congrats on your little bump" comment is that Blake wasn't refering to the interviewer's actual physical appearance or possible pregnancy. She wanted to show how much of a feminist she is and how "well" she can deflect from an interviewer commenting on her body, essentially giving her a taste of her own medicine. This fell flat because the interviewer's comment was never meant to objectify her body, shame, or praise her. She made a comment about Blake's life circumstances and congratulating her about the new life she was expecting. Blake defended herself from something that wasn't an attack and really hurt somebody in the process.
How in the world is she fashionista???
How in the world is she american sweetheart??
But most of all how in the world is she a good actress?
“A cash grab to repackage trauma and sell it back to the ones who were traumatized.” Omg yes.
imagine promoting a hair brand when your own hair looks like it's been fried...
This just confirms my opinion that I never thought Blake was the best casting choice for this. Why was a ginger woman not cast? Lily Bloom is a ginger!!!
Because snakely thinks her raggedy fried blonde hair is a gift to everyone 🤣
The younger actress in the movie would've been perfect for the role but god forbid someone else is the main character other than blake
I think Sadie Sink would have been excellent. Closer to the correct age also
@@AquilaLeighYoga ommgg she would have SO GOOD! And her sarcasm would have brought that out with lily’s character… I never saw Lilly as the popular mean girl that Blake is, I picture her as a gentle caring soul who is torn between love and despair. Sadie would have made it great

all this makes me feel ✨uncomfortable✨about blake and taylor swifts friendship 👀
Right?? I don’t like Taylor personally but I love Sabrina carpenter and this is making me question her character considering her friendship with Taylor…
@@justanymphI was friends with someone with lacking morals for years, and then again with another woman. 10 years with the first and 6 with the second, I think, and I learned how to behave a long time ago. I tried to understand their POV and be there for them before I realized that they're JUST selfish! So, don't judge Sabrina Carpenter based on Taylor just yet, she might giving her the benefit of the doubt as well, and also she probably feels she couldn't survive the backlash if she distanced herself. I don't know much about these artists, I listened to Sabrina for the first time today and I haven't liked Taylor since "Lovestory", but I just wanted to share that being friends with someone selfish can take a toll on an understanding person until they're pushed to their limit and eventually leaves that friendship behind. Either way, it's probably good to not assume anything about a celebrity and just enjoy their art while we can 😅
@@carrained thank you, I don’t want to judge Sabrina at all, and I’m very thankful you pointed out I was, as well as sharing your experience to help me understand. Sabrina definitely seems sweet and Taylor’s fans can be pretty terrible, so I get why she couldn’t distance herself as easily as the average person can❤️
@@carrained Yes, I feel like no one talks about this but it takes COURAGE to break off a toxic friendship! Granted, it's likely not as intertwined as a romantic relationship BUT it can still be unhealthily codependent. It takes time.
I remember being so nervous before turning down someone I'd decided didn't add anything positive to my life anymore - but the mean & selfish way in which she reacted proved to me I made the right choice. It really isn't for the faint of heart, because people don't really understand the concept of actively breaking up a friendship (instead of just letting it fade/ ghost out).
Edit: spelling
So my theory is that Blake was trying hard to pull a Florence Pugh Don’t Worry Darling situation. Both hated the movies they were in, had alleged feuds with the director over artistic visions, both movies flopped from the SOURCE at making their feminist points. Except, Florence has had a record of incredibly thoughtful feminist statements. On top of this, even though Don’t Worry Darling is also about domestic violence, it’s divorced enough from the real world that its impact isn’t quite so personal. Florence said so herself, when she said she didn’t want her role in the film reduced to her sex scenes.
If they were trying to emulate Florence’s response to DWD, they missed the mark BIG TIME. They looked at the surface and none of the substance. Florence at the end of the day emerged with grace, because she wasn’t directly petty (even if people around her were) and because she also took the time to be thoughtful and respectful about why she chose to sign onto the movie in the first place- to portray a story that might be impactful for women. Blake wanted so bad to be the internet hero against the bad guy director, she forgot all of the important bits- that It Ends With Us shouldn’t be reduced to something.
If that's what she was aiming for, it's quite funny that she turned out more like Olivia Wilde. Both almost seemed to forget the abuse their female main character is put through, while doing the press. Florence and Justin on the other hand, were taking the serious stuff seriously.
imho Florence coming out with those fashion style at Venice is a great cherry on the feuding cake. But Florence had public outrage at Olivia breaking covid protocols on set, and Blake doesn't have any bases

She makes these rude, off putting comments like she thinks she's making a joke... Except its not funny. Ever. It comes off condescending, sarcastic and just MEAN .
16:47 I doubt she read the book. What the character wears is inconsequential to the story. She desperately wanted her a Barbie moment bc she was mad they didn't cast her for that film.
I let everyone hate me for saying this: Never liked her in GG, never thought she is pretty, never understood what Ryan saw in her. Mean girl energy all the way and even shows on the face. Beauty comes from within.
I’m obsessed with this marketing analysis series 🍵🐸
They aren’t together for 17 years
But mind that Blake can’t stand Margot and has been jealous since Margot got the role in the Wolf she wanted and was nobody in Hollywood.
I think she meant weve seen her on TV and movies for 17 years, most notably when Gossip Girl started in 2007 that's when people started to know she was

Ok yes this sounds correct then
I really can't see Blake in that movie...
I just HAVE to say that Zoe's hair looks GORGEOUS blake lively could NEVER💀💀💀
My Grandma says that too! "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel"
It comes from Maya Angelou's poem
@@JBUHJBUH it does indeed
She's trying her darndest to take Ryan's brand down with it all, too. The rose-colored glasses are gone for both of them now.
She's besties with Taylor Swift, that says a lot.
youre a grown ass woman living in a world of rapists and homewreckers and you dare to come for a woman like taylor swift due to "vibes". There is nothing about taylor swift any more wrong than any other celebrity. Put that phone down and do your chore, lmao..
She will become the ultimate apologize girl. Make plantation wedding then apologize and donate. Make "preserve" and "antebellum allure" then apologize. Make fun on questions about DV than apologize (and possibly donate). Like being considerate and thinking few steps ahead is so hard for her.
A more appropriate sponsor here would have been a charity or organisation focusing on DV
In a world where crimes against women are on the rise, its so tone deaf to romanticise this kind of relationship. Im glad people are talking about it and pushing back so that some young girls don't fall into the trap of allowing someone to be abusive with them.
I personally dont have an issue with movies portraying these things, but it needs to be stated and the movie needs to be promoted for what it is
Blame the author. The author is notorious for romanticizing abuse.
@@heysaras that too!
