However, in the movie’s interview video, she appears childish when discussing sensitive matters such as DV and does not seem to understand the value of her character, Lily Bloom.
The behaviors and mentality of Blake Lively led people to give her the tag of nepo baby, which refers to someone who came to popularity or received success due to their famous parents.
Social media sites, including Twitter and TikTok, are now full of hate comments, with people criticizing Blake Lively’s personality.
Fans became furious as Blake Lively took a chance to promote her hair care brand amid the popularity of a new movie!

Further, she also appeared to take the chance to promote her husband’s Ryan Reynold movie Deadpool & Wolverine, which disgusted people with her behavior and greed.
While overviewing Blake Lively’s press tour of It Ends With Us, one X user, Kayleigh Donaldson, wrote, “It is extremely weird for Blake Lively to turn the promotional tour of a domestic violence drama into a platform for her to strengthen her fashion plate status & her and Ryan Reynolds’ power couple clout.“
Furthermore, many people also compared the interview between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, director and lead actor of the movie It Ends With Us, where they found the difference in their sincerity.
The internet isn’t happy with how Blake Lively has been conducting herself in “It Ends With Us” PR, comparing her interviews to Justin Baldoni’s.
