Fans are calling out Blake Lively for her dismissive reaction to receiving a friendship bracelet from a fan at the “It Ends With Us” London premiere earlier this month. Video footage has surfaced of an unseen person gifting Lively the pink beaded bracelet, which the “Gossip Girl” star thanks her for before immediately handing it off to someone else on the sidelines.
“Thank you so much. That’s so sweet. I’m going to put it here because it doesn’t go with my outfit, but I will wear it later,” Lively, 36, tells the gift-giver. Contrarily, when the actress’s co-star Isabela Ferrer receives a friendship bracelet, she immediately places it on her wrist. “Thank you! Oh my God, I’m going to put it on,” Ferrer tells the fan.
Fans in the comments section of the TikTok post blasted Lively not only for her reaction but also for her failing to realize the pink bracelet did, in fact, go with her pink earrings. “I will wear it later,” one wrote. “Yeah ok.” “Regina George vibes,” added another, referring to the villain in “Mean Girls.” “the way it actually FITS her whole outfit lmaooo,” commented a third viewer. “It actually does go with her outfit tho hahahah,” added another TikTok user.
The “Simple Favor” star opted for a Tamara Ralph Couture gown for the event. The sparkling, figure-hugging dress featured crystal orchids and cherry blossom embellishments. The floral touch, which featured plenty of pink hues, served as an homage to Lively’s character, Lily Bloom, who works as a florist in the story. Lively has been under fire for the past week as her past comments and interviews have resurfaced amid a feud with her co-star and director, Justin Baldoni.
The “Jane the Virgin” alum, 40, has been using the film’s press tour to discuss the heavy-hitting theme of domestic violence, while the “Café Society” star has promoted her new haircare line and cocktail brand. She later seemed to subtly respond to the backlash by posting DV resources on her Instagram Story.
Despite the attempt to mitigate her bad press, Lively came under fire once more when she responded to a very serious question about domestic violence with a sarcastic joke. “For people who see this movie, who relate to the topics of this movie on a deeply personal level, they’re really gonna want to talk to you,” reporter Jake Hamilton said to Lively and her co-star Brandon Sklenar during a virtual press junket last week.
