Blake Lively calls Justin Baldoni legal drama one of the ‘lowest lows of my life'
'I see so many women around afraid to speak, especially now, afraid to share their experience. Fear is by design, it's what keeps us silent,' Lively told host Seth Meyers on Thursday. 'But I also acknowledge that many people don't have the opportunity to speak, so I do feel fortunate that I have been able to.'
The Gossip Girl star explained that 'it is the women who have had the ability to use their voice' that have kept her strong and 'helped me in my belief and my fight for the world to be safer for women and girls.' 'It's a pretty simple thing,' she went on before being cut off by loud cheers from the audience.
Elsewhere in the interview, Lively gushed over her children, calling them her 'lifeline' amid a chaotic year. The Age of Adaline star shares four kids with her husband, Ryan Reynolds: daughters James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and son Olin, 2.
'It's no surprise, I have had a pretty intense year. They're just my lifeline. No matter what day I am having,' Lively said of her kids, adding, 'I have to be Disney Land for them. It's the best, it's chaos.' She also shared adorable anecdotes from her day-to-day life.
'My little boy is so romantic,' Lively said of Olin, adding, 'When I walk in, he goes, 'Mama, my love!' Oh, he's just like, oh, he's just a dream. I mean, like, they're chaos. It's chaos at all times.' She further shared, 'One of my daughters has the same birthday as Napoleon and Jennifer Lawrence, so if you imagine those two blended.'

'It wasn't worth': Taylor Swift dumps Blake Lively as Travis Kelce joins her in permanent break from Hollywood couple
Taylor Swift is done with Blake Lively and her drama (Getty Images) In a shocking celebrity fallout, Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce have reportedly ended their longtime friendship with Hollywood power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds . According to insider sources, the Eras Tour singer has grown increasingly disillusioned with Lively's drama—especially following the legal chaos surrounding the "It Ends With Us" movie and Blake's co-star, Justin Baldoni . This once-glamorous friendship, adored by fans and paparazzi alike, has now dissolved into silence, unfollows, and a sense of betrayal that neither Swift nor Kelce appear ready to forgive. Blake Lively's legal feud sparks the end of an A-list friendship The tension reportedly began after Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment and retaliation. In response, Baldoni counter-sued and subpoenaed Taylor Swift—a move that blindsided the singer, who had zero involvement with the film. Taylor's team was quick to clear the air, stating: 'Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see 'It Ends With Us' until weeks after its public release.' Following this, Baldoni's legal team dropped the subpoena. But the damage, it seems, had already been done. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like "밤새 나던 종아리 쥐가 사라졌어요!', 막힌 혈관 찌꺼기 싹~ 청소한 "이것.' 대박이네!! 카이스트 건강비결 더 알아보기 Undo A source close to Swift told the Daily Mail that Taylor now recognizes all the 'red flags' in her friendship with Lively. 'When Taylor looks back at their friendship, she realises it wasn't worth all the stress Blake put her through,' the insider shared. 'She can now see all the red flags that should have been a warning to her.' Even Travis Kelce, who once shared friendly ties with Reynolds, has reportedly distanced himself. He recently unfollowed the Deadpool star on Instagram, signaling a united front with Swift. 'Taylor and Travis are disgusted with Blake and Ryan and how they tried to use Taylor in their fight against Justin Baldoni,' the insider added. According to those close to the couple, this break is not temporary.'They're vowing their break from the acting couple is permanent,' the source said.

Blake Lively vs Justin Baldoni: Actress subpoenas Perez Hilton, Candace Owens, and Andy Signore in 'It Ends With Us' legal battle
In a significant development in her ongoing legal battle against It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni , actress Blake Lively has reportedly issued subpoenas to content creators Perez Hilton, Candace Owens, and Andy Signore as she seeks to prove claims of an alleged online smear campaign. According to a report by TMZ, citing sources familiar with the case, Lively's legal team believes these individuals may possess information relevant to her accusation against Baldoni and the alleged 'orchestrated' smear campaign to damage her reputation. Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni earlier this year, accusing him of sexual harassment and professional retaliation, allegations that Baldoni has vehemently denied. Her complaint also accuses the actor-director and his team of planting and amplifying damaging content across social media and digital platforms. According to court filings, Lively's legal team claimed that Baldoni's team adopted a strategy that saw The Wayfarer team seed social media content with content creators, on online chat sites like Reddit, and into publications with small audiences and lax editorial standards. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025년 가장 여유 넘치는 농장 게임. 설치 없음 Taonga: 아일랜드 팜 플레이하기 Undo They allege that "The team would then 'amplify' that content by sharing it with larger outlets to increase negative sentiment toward Ms. Lively." Candace Owens, responded publicly to the alleged subpoenas and said in a statement to PEOPLE, 'Given the fact that I have not received any subpoena yet, I appreciate Blake's team leaking this to TMZ to alert me to it. And, of course, I have not the slightest idea what I am being subpoenaed for, as I knew none of these parties when their respective lawsuits were filed. But stay tuned, and I'll let audiences know on my podcast. ' Perez, a longtime celebrity blogger, has covered the Lively vs. Baldoni case extensively and even appears in the recent documentary 'In Dispute: Lively vs. Baldoni'. Notably, Hilton was once represented by Baldoni's attorney, Bryan Freedman. Andy Signore, known for his YouTube channel covering celebrity legal drama, has also reportedly made it on the subpoena list. In one of his videos, Signore published what he described as an "exclusive" statement from Freedman—before major news outlets had reported it. Baldoni's legal team has pushed back against the accusations, arguing that any backlash against Lively during the It Ends With Us promotional cycle in August 2024 was the result of organic public reaction, not a coordinated smear effort. 'The negative press was of Ms. Lively's own making,' Baldoni's representatives have stated.
