This It Ends With Us feud has a lot of fans asking… is Blake Lively secretly a mean girl??
There are obviously two sides to what’s going on with the movie. Some sources have claimed director Justin Baldoni was inappropriate or insensitive, others say Blake and hubby Ryan Reynolds threw their Hollywood weight around so she could get her way creatively. It’s messy and not at all clear…
But the more folks are digging, the more everyone is looking at Blake’s history. We mean, just look at that cringey interview where she insults a film journalist!

And of course a Blake deep dive wouldn’t be complete without looking at how she got along — and still gets along — with her co-stars from Gossip Girl! After all, they worked together for more than just a month or two, this was SIX YEARS! So how’s that going?
Well… after some digging we can tell you co-stars Penn Badgley, Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick, Taylor Momsen, Jessica Szohr, and Michelle Trachtenberg don’t follow her on Instagram. NO ONE wants to know what’s going on with Blake?! That’s a BIG cold shoulder from your former co-stars! In fact, the only Gossip Girl cast member we could find that still follows her is Chace Crawford! Wow!
We have heard in the past that Blake and Leighton, who played pals Serena and Blair on the show, didn’t get along in real life. Exec producer Joshua Safran confirmed to Vanity Fair back in 2017:
“Blake and Leighton were not friends.”
He said they were “friendly” on set, but that they were just two very different people. He said he remembers Blake being “very much in the moment” and that she “knows what’s happening”:
“You talk to Blake on a very contemporary level, and she would be like, ‘I’m doing this thing tonight. Have you been to this restaurant?’”
He said Leighton was the opposite, “very removed and very quiet, and, after her scenes were done, she would wander the stage.” Well, OK, they weren’t similar people. But like… they’re not even friendly enough for a polite follow all these years later? That seems like more than just not being besties IRL.
And for Blake to not be followed by anyone? (Apart from Chace, who frankly seems like the nicest person in the world?) It’s sus, no?
What do YOU think, Perezcious readers? Is Blake a mean girl? Are her former co-stars saying something with their silence??
