Blake Lively spoke at the Time 100 Gala, honoring her status as one of Time's most influential figures. Addressing her recent legal issues with co-star Justin Baldoni, Lively expressed the significance of being a woman with a voice in today's world. She reflected on her challenging past two years, asserting that the choice to celebrate positivity is a defiant act against the prevalent anger in society. Her ongoing legal disputes stem from allegations of harassment and defamation related to their work on the film 'It Ends With Us.' A trial is set for March 2026.
It feels like an act of defiance to commune and celebrate all the good that is alive in the world, at a time where anger seems the most valuable currency.
I have so much to say about the last two years of my life, but tonight is not the forum.
Being called 'influential' was a significant responsibility for me, especially in these tumultuous times.
I accused Baldoni of a coordinated effort to destroy my reputation, causing severe emotional distress to my family and harming my business.
