“She walked the red carpet—then got publicly called out.” 🎯🔥 Blake Lively’s spot on the TIME 100 list lit up headlines, but one high-profile critic says she shouldn’t be there at all. What really happened behind the scenes? Full story and rising tension in the article below 👇
Blake Lively recently made headlines for attending the TIME 100 gala in New York, where she was named one of the most influential people of the year. But not everyone was happy about it — especially journalist and TV host Megyn Kelly.
Both women appeared on the prestigious list, but Kelly made it clear she doesn’t think Lively deserved to be there. Speaking to reporters on the red carpet, Kelly criticized the actress’s inclusion and pointed to what she described as “false statements” made by Lively about fellow actor and director Justin Baldoni.
“I don’t think she should have been included,” Kelly said bluntly. “Blake made claims against Justin Baldoni that were later shown to be untrue. I think she regretted them.”
The two worked together on the upcoming film It Ends With Us, in which Lively stars and Baldoni directs. After filming wrapped, reports surfaced about behind-the-scenes tension, and legal disputes reportedly began between Lively and Baldoni’s team. Kelly accused the magazine of selecting Lively just for publicity, calling the decision “very wrong.”
TIME has not responded to the criticism, and Lively has remained silent about the renewed attention on the controversy.
