Blake Lively Faces Backlash Over 'A Simple Favor' Improvisation

Blake Lively is facing backlash for allegedly hypocritical behavior stemming from her sexual misconduct allegations against Justin Baldoni. Critics point to a scene in her film A Simple Favor where she improvised a grab of co-star Henry Golding's crotch, a moment she claimed was scripted but revealed was her own idea in Blu-Ray commentary. While director Paul Feig supported her improvisation, some argue this contradicts her accusations against Baldoni, who is alleged to have added intimate scenes without consent. Lively's camp defends her actions by stating that she sought agreement from Golding and Feig beforehand, contrasting this with Baldoni's alleged misconduct during filming. The controversy has reignited discussions about consent and professional boundaries on set, complicating Lively's legal battle with Baldoni. As the situation develops, social media reactions continue to polarize opinions on Lively's conduct in relation to her accusations.
