Blake Lively's Controversy regarding It Ends With Us

In summer of 2024 upon the release of It Ends With Us Blake Lively was the subject of online backlash due to her public relations towards the film disregarding the sensitive nature of domestic violence and its proceeding generational trauma, which the film addresses. Blake Lively was seen in a number of interviews speaking in a joking manner towards the subject when asked about how she would respond to fans coming up to her and speaking about their own personal trauma. Blake Lively has yet to apologize for this. 2600:1006:A021:5260:2872:9D73:4AA6:738D (talk) 00:46, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Controversies

After Catherine, Princess of Wales, had posted a photo on mother's day with her three children, some keyboard warriors started calling it a photoshop. Blake Lively joined in the cyberbullying by posting a picture of herself to advertise her drinks company. Netizens were angered by this action and called her out for bullying a mother who had an abdominal surgery. Few days later the Princess of Wales posted a video where she shared that she was diagnosed with cancer. Lively deleted the post but has not apologised to the Princess yet.

Lively was again called out for her meanness towards two interviewers. One interviewer had congratulated her pregnancy and in reply she body sham ed her by saying " Congratulations on your bump" when that interviewer cannot have children. In another interview during the It Ends With Us promo, she was asked to give a message to domestic violence survivors, to which she said " Do you want my number" with a smirk. 49.37.10.39 (talk) 07:59, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done If indeed this is an edit request then it would need writing in an encyclopaedic style with suitable references, but don't bother because it is NOT appropriate for this article. Theroadislong (talk) 09:44, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

-:"Horrible things"? What is wrong with pictures that show Blake the way God (or her surgeon) made her?  There's no nipples showing, it's nowhere near pornographic. The human body is one of God's most beautiful creations, not something to be ashamed of and hidden from the eyes of children.  If your second-least-loved Lily is a big fan of Blake Lively, Lily has seen Blake's boobies plenty, any episode of ''Gossip Girl'' has Blake's ample assets on display, and God love them for that, Blake has a beautiful body and shouldn't be ashamed of it, she works hard (I'm sure) to look the way she does.  Perhaps you should take your own advice and show a little respect for the fact that the world doesn't revolve around your parenting choices.

-There is no official, reputable source that cites her middle name as being Christina, it originated on Wikipedia.
