Blake Lively Addresses Legal Feud Amid Time100 Gala Controversy

Blake Lively attended the Time100 Gala amid ongoing controversy, including criticism from Megyn Kelly and a legal battle with her 'It Ends With Us' co-star Justin Baldoni, whom she has accused of sexual harassment. Despite being called one of Time’s 'Most Influential People,' Lively faced public skepticism about her influence but addressed the challenges women face in her speech, alluding to her own struggles and thanking her husband Ryan Reynolds for his support. At the event, body language experts noted visible strain and subtle power dynamics between Lively and Reynolds, suggesting the tension of their legal and public battles may be affecting their relationship. Nevertheless, the couple publicly displayed affection and unity, sharing a selfie and supporting each other at the gala. Baldoni has denied the allegations and countersued Lively, Reynolds, and their publicist for defamation. Lively emphasized the responsibility that comes with influence and the importance of standing up for what matters.
