Hannah Berner Defends Blake Lively Amid Controversy

Hannah Berner's joke about Blake Lively during Netflix's 'Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year' has sparked controversy, coinciding with Lively's recent lawsuit against Justin Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment and a smear campaign. Berner quipped, 'The word c**t was trending this year. I don’t think Blake Lively was that bad', a remark that was filmed prior to the public revelation of Lively's legal battles. Following backlash, Berner clarified on Instagram that she supports Lively, stating, 'To be 100 percent clear, I support Blake xoxo.' Lively's lawsuit claims that Baldoni orchestrated a media smear campaign against her after she reported misconduct on the set of 'It Ends With Us'. Many of Lively's co-stars have rallied in her support, condemning the alleged attacks on her reputation. Baldoni's attorney dismissed Lively's claims as a desperate attempt to fix her image, amidst significant fallout for Baldoni in the industry after the allegations.
