Blake Lively is back in the spotlight after she was spotted by a netizen in New York City, allegedly mistreating staff a store she was shopping at.
The Gossip Girl alum is in the middle of an ongoing PR war with former cast member Justin Baldoni for s*xual harassment and character defamation—allegations that fans are not overwhelmingly convinced of.
Highlights
- Blake Lively went shopping in New York and was seen as entitled.
- The person who spotted her then had to contend with the star’s security.
- The sighting comes amid the ongoing Baldoni lawsuit.
Her most recent appearance may have added to the skepticism as TikToker, Landon Anne, who saw her in person marked experience down as “horrible.”
“I don’t know how she has any fans anymore.”

Landon says she walked into the NYC outlet of Stoney Clover Lane, a personalized travel accessory store, and heard the A-lister before she saw her.
“First of all, we walked in and we’re just like, looking around … I didn’t even notice at first,” Landon recounted.
“I’m just looking, shopping for my sister, and the way [Lively’s] talking to the workers at the store was so rude.”

According to Landon, Lively made all kinds of demands:
“She was like, ‘I want a fresh one of these — one that wasn’t touched by other customers. … Is there a private bathroom?'”
The TikTokker was made to feel like she was invading Lively’s space, even though they were in a public area

Landon noticed that it was not only the general public that bore the brunt of her attitude.
“I was like, ‘Oh my God. People are working hard in stores like this and this is how you’re treating them?’ Like, you’re being so entitled.”
Also, despite other patrons being in a public area, they were made to feel like they were invading her space.
“And the second we walked out, it was clear that we were invading their space — it’s a store, first of all. There’s no sign that says you can’t enter. She didn’t block it off,” Landon argued.

When Landon eventually made it out of the store, she had another unpleasant experience.
“And the second we leave, [Lively’s] security guard comes and stands in front of the door. And now I’m at the corner of the street and the security guard is staring at me.”
The TikToker then took it upon herself to call on Lively's fans to reevaluate their support of the actress.

“If anyone is still a fan of Blake Lively, I think recheck your decision on that because she’s not very nice to the common people,” she said
Lively posted her own version of the Stoney Clover Lane experience
Lively has since also given her account of her Stoney Clover Lane experience and as can be expected, it is completely oblivious of the critical TikTokker.
On Instagram she posted a colorful sequenced purse with the letter “B” and “R”, supposedly for Blake and Ryan (Reynolds her husband).

“@stoney clover = my heaven,” she captioned the image before writing:
“I’m simply a 90s child who will forever be a devotee to any concept that includes make your own custom neon pastel glitter forever.”
The sighting comes amidst the star’s ongoing battles with Justin Baldoni
The latest criticism of the star comes amid an ongoing PR war with It Ends with Us co-star Justin Baldoni.
Lively has accused Baldoni of “repeated s*xual harassment” in a complaint obtained by the New York Times, along with other allegations of “disturbing” behavior on set that made her work environment “hostile.”

Said disturbing behavior, according to Lively, involved Baldoni straying from the script and improvising during romantic scenes.
Fans called the actress out for hypocrisy since she also improvised in her 2018 movie A Simple Favor when she went off script and groped her co-star Henry Golding’s junk.
The sparring has since escalated into a lawsuit with Baldoni suing for s*xual harassment.
