Blake Lively's Donut Shop Visit Sparks Investigation

Blake Lively's recent visit to Rise Doughnuts in Wilton, Connecticut, sparked a health department investigation due to her not wearing a hairnet while baking, which could pose a food safety risk. The visit, documented on her Instagram, was intended as a friendly gesture to her friends who own the shop, but it backfired as critics accused her of a PR stunt and called her out for unsanitary practices. The Wilton Health Department confirmed they received complaints about her loose hair, and the donut shop's Yelp page was flooded with negative reviews, leading to its temporary suspension. This incident comes amid Lively's ongoing legal battles with co-star Justin Baldoni, possibly fueling public criticism. The investigation may result in sanctions or fines for the shop if health code violations are confirmed. Despite Lively's intentions to portray relatability, the backlash highlights the importance of adhering to food safety protocols, especially for public figures.
