Blake Lively's past confession about manipulating the cast of Gossip Girl resurfaces amid her legal battle with Justin Baldoni. Lively admitted to 'poisoning' the cast against Penn Badgley, but later realized his genuine nature. This comes as fans scrutinize Lively's behavior during the 'It Ends With Us' promotional tour.
Blake Lively has admitted to attempting to manipulate the narrative surrounding former co-stars, years before her recent legal conflict with Justin Baldoni. In a resurfaced 2009 interview with Glamour magazine, the 37-year-old actress confessed to 'poisoning' the cast of Gossip Girl against Penn Badgley , her on-screen love interest. Lively, known for portraying Serena Van Der Woodsen, revealed her initial displeasure with Badgley's casting and her efforts to turn the cast against him.
'At first, I was so upset that they hired him,' she admitted. 'I actually poisoned the whole cast against him.' However, she later acknowledged realizing Badgley's genuine nature and charm, stating, 'But then they noticed that he wasn't a jerk and was actually a really nice, charming person.'This admission resurfaces amidst the ongoing legal battle between Lively and Baldoni, who she accused of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her following their collaboration on Colleen Hoover's 'It Ends With Us.' Baldoni vehemently denies these allegations. Lively's interview with Glamour is one of several resurfaced clips and articles scrutinizing her behavior, particularly during the promotional tour of 'It Ends With Us.' Critics pointed out her focus on promoting her alcohol brand and haircare line instead of engaging with the film's domestic violence theme.Adding further intrigue to the situation is the connection between Lively and Baldoni through their shared Baha'i faith. This niche religion has gained global prominence, boasting over eight million members worldwide. Baldoni is countersuing both Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for $400 million, alleging their concerted effort to damage his reputation. The legal battle continues to unfold, with revelations and counter-accusations casting a spotlight on the behind-the-scenes dynamics of Hollywood
