BLAKE Lively made her first appearance amidst the ongoing drama. On Saturday, during a star-studded pool party in her friend Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island Mansion the alum was captured on camera sharing a kiss with her husband, Ryan Reynolds. The 36-year-old actress was seen in floral shorts and a coral bikini top in the photographs, engaging in PDA with star who was dressed in a pink short-sleeved button-up shirt and a blue cap.
This is Lively’s first public appearance since a reporter, Kjersti Flaa revealed she considered quitting journalism due to a “nightmare” encounter with her in 2016. During the sit-down interview, Lively made a sarcastic remark about Norwegian reporter Kjersti Flaa’s “bump” after she congratulated a pregnant Lively on her upcoming birth. However, the journalist was not pregnant at that time.
Flaa has since disclosed her infertility, describing the interview as a “nightmare” and “the most uncomfortable...
situation.” Lively also faced criticism earlier this week for her use of transgender slurs in interviews in past, which resurfaced amidst rumours of behind-the-scenes tension with her co-star, Justin Baldoni. Lively is facing intense scrutiny amid ongoing rumors of a dispute with Baldoni.
It was previously revealed that Baldoni had made Lively feel “uncomfortable”, particularly about her weight following the birth of her fourth child, son Olin, during their collaboration on the film. Reports from industry insiders suggest that the rift between the two deepened during post-production, as Lively is said to have brought in the editor from to produce an alternative version of the film. The director, who reportedly felt “stifled” and “sidelined” by Lively on set, has commented that he would likely hand over the directing role to Lively if a second film, based on Colleen Hoover’s 2022 sequel materializes.
The uncertainty surrounding Baldoni’s involvement in the anticipated sequel remains..
