Blake Lively, best known for her role as Serena van der Woodsen in “Gossip Girl,” is now at the center of controversy. A former extra from the hit show has accused her of being unprofessional and unpleasant to work with. Rossella Rago, who appeared in multiple seasons, claims that the 37-year-old actress created an uncomfortable atmosphere on set with her behavior.
According to Rago, Lively would frequently burp and pass gas between takes, treating it as if it were amusing for others. She describes her as dismissive toward extras, only communicating with them through a director.
These allegations have sparked fresh conversations about Lively’s off-screen demeanor. This adds yet another layer to her already high-profile legal battle with “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni.
Blake Lively Allegedly Made the "Gossip Girl" Set Unpleasant
Rago recalls Lively acting as if her presence was a gift to the cast and crew. She claims the actress often ignored extras, refusing to speak to them directly. Instead, she would rely on production staff to give instructions, creating a sense of distance and superiority.
Lively / IG / Rossella Rago describes instances where Lively would acknowledge someone only when necessary. She made even the simplest interactions feel strained, Rago claims.
According to Rago, Lively would say “thank you” in a way that felt more like an obligation than genuine gratitude. These accusations have led many fans to reevaluate the actress’s reputation.
Ryan Reynolds Also Called Out
Rago doesn’t stop at Lively. She also takes aim at her husband, Ryan Reynolds. She claims that once Lively started dating the “Deadpool” star, he would treat her like royalty, bowing down to her every need. According to Rago, their relationship dynamic only reinforced Lively’s sense of entitlement.
She further alleges that Lively’s attitude changed drastically after her brief romance with Leonardo DiCaprio. When she returned to the Gossip Girl set post-breakup, she reportedly seemed irritated, making it clear that she didn’t want to engage with anyone outside of her immediate circle.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Explosive Legal Feud
These accusations surface at a time when Lively is already dealing with another major controversy. She is currently embroiled in a legal battle with Justin Baldoni, her co-star in the upcoming film “It Ends With Us.”
Lively / IG / Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment during filming, which has led to a messy and public dispute.
Baldoni has fired back with a staggering $400 million countersuit, claiming that Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, orchestrated a smear campaign against him. He alleges that they attempted to destroy his reputation by spreading false accusations. The case has taken Hollywood by storm, with both sides fiercely defending their positions.
What These Accusations Mean for Lively’s Career?
With these allegations piling up, Lively’s reputation is facing a serious test. While she remains one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars, this controversy could change how both fans and industry professionals view her.
As the legal battle with Baldoni continues and the Gossip Girl accusations gain traction, it remains to be seen how Lively will navigate the storm. Will these claims affect her career, or will she manage to move past them unscathed? For now, all eyes are on Blake Lively.
