Entertainment gossip and news are always a hot topic, especially when it involves beloved celebrities like Blake Lively. The actress recently found herself in hot water yet again after a less-than-enthusiastic reaction to receiving a friendship bracelet from a fan at the London premiere of her new movie, It Ends With Us. In a TikTok video of the encounter that was posted online, Lively can be seen accepting a pink beaded bracelet but quickly handing it off to someone nearby. She then thanks the fan, stating that she will wear it later because it doesn’t go with her outfit, before moving on to greet another fan.
Fans were quick to notice that the pink bracelet actually did match Lively’s outfit, including her earrings, sparking criticism in the comments section of the video. Viewers accused Lively of being dismissive to her fans, with some remarking on the irony of her comment about the bracelet not matching her outfit when it clearly did. Some even compared her behavior to the fictional character Regina George from Mean Girls, while others noted that her co-star Isabela Ferrer had a much warmer reaction when receiving a similar bracelet at the premiere.
This incident is not the first time that Lively has faced backlash for her interactions with fans and the media. During a recent press junket for It Ends With Us, she responded sarcastically when asked how fans could approach her to discuss the movie’s dark themes regarding domestic violence. This sarcastic response, along with previous controversial interviews, has not been well-received by the public.
In a resurfaced interview from 2016 while promoting the Woody Allen film Café Society, Lively was congratulated by a journalist on her pregnancy with husband Ryan Reynolds. Lively’s sarcastic response to the journalist’s comment about her “little bump” and subsequent banter with her co-star Parker Posey has also come under scrutiny in light of recent events.
Overall, Blake Lively’s recent behavior and interactions with fans and the media have sparked controversy and criticism. As a public figure, it is important for celebrities to handle such situations with grace and humility, and Lively’s recent actions have left some fans disappointed. It remains to be seen how she will address these criticisms and move forward in her career.
