Blake Lively is facing backlash for using the term 'trannies' in several past interviews, which critics consider a transphobic slur. The resurfaced remarks from interviews in 2008, 2009, and 2012 have gone viral, prompting widespread criticism and calls for an apology. Some defenders argue the term was not seen as derogatory at the time, while others emphasize the need for Lively to acknowledge the harm caused. The controversy adds to Lively's recent challenges, including alleged on-set tensions with her co-star Justin Baldoni during the press tour for her new film 'It Ends With Us'. Lively has yet to respond to the current criticisms.
