Blake Lively has long been considered Hollywood’s golden girl, with her dazzling smile and seemingly effortless charm. However, behind the scenes, multiple reports suggest that her co-stars may have a very different perspective. Over the years, whispers of Lively’s alleged mistreatment of her colleagues have persisted, with claims of manipulation, privilege, and outright bullying. Now, her former co-stars are beginning to speak out, shedding light on a much darker side of the actress.

A Tense Relationship with Leighton Meester

Leighton Meester, best known for her role as Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl, has always been known for keeping to herself and avoiding drama. However, reports suggest that her experience working with Blake Lively was far from pleasant. Unlike Lively, Meester grew up in real hardship—her mother gave birth to her while serving time in a Texas halfway house, and her family struggled financially for years. Instead of showing empathy, Lively reportedly mocked Meester’s background, even making insensitive jokes about her past in front of others.

While the media often paints female co-stars as rivals, it seems the tension between Lively and Meester was not fabricated. Those who worked on Gossip Girl claim that Lively turned the cast against Meester, creating a toxic environment. Meester, however, never publicly spoke against Lively, even though many believe she had every reason to do so.

America Ferrera’s Experience with Lively

America Ferrera, another of Lively’s former co-stars from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, has also been linked to unsettling rumors about Lively’s behavior. Unlike Meester, Ferrera is widely respected in Hollywood, known for her kindness and professionalism. However, industry insiders suggest that during the filming of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Lively allegedly fat-shamed Ferrera, making cruel remarks about her weight.

This revelation is particularly ironic considering Lively’s own accusations against Justin Baldoni for body-shaming her. If these reports are true, it suggests a pattern of hypocrisy—Lively calling out mistreatment when it affects her but participating in the same behavior toward others.

Anna Kendrick’s No-Nonsense Approach

One co-star who seemingly refused to tolerate Lively’s alleged behavior is Anna Kendrick. The two worked together on A Simple Favor, and reports indicate that they did not get along. Kendrick, known for her sharp wit and sarcasm, reportedly clashed with Lively, who is said to dislike being challenged. While Lively often dominates conversations and seeks the spotlight, Kendrick’s ability to match her energy reportedly irritated her.

During interviews promoting A Simple Favor, the tension between the two was palpable. Kendrick’s body language and quips suggested she was not amused by Lively’s attempts to control the narrative. Now, as they promote the sequel, Another Simple Favor, Kendrick has been careful to avoid commenting on the ongoing controversy surrounding Lively’s past behavior.

A Pattern of Privilege and Control

Many of these allegations paint a picture of Lively as someone who uses her Hollywood privilege to silence those who speak out. From allegedly mocking her less privileged co-stars to trying to control the narrative about her own past, Lively’s reputation is beginning to unravel. While she presents herself as a “crown straightener,” or someone who supports other women, her alleged past actions suggest otherwise.

Blake Lively may continue to enjoy her success, but as more people speak out about their experiences with her, the carefully crafted image she has built may not hold up under scrutiny. Hollywood has long protected those in power, but in the age of accountability, Lively may have to answer for how she has allegedly treated those around her.
