Blake Lively slammed over ‘horrible' behaviour

Blake Lively slammed over ‘horrible' behaviour

News.com.au09-06-2025
You're nobody until you're talked about.
'Entitled' Blake Lively was blasted by a fan for the 'horrible' way she treated employees at a store in New York City.
On Saturday, a fan named Landon took to TikTok to share what occurred when she was out shopping at Stoney Clover Lane while the Gossip Girl star was also there.
'It was honestly a horrible experience. I don't know how she has any fans anymore,' the netizen, who was out shopping with her mother and sister, told her more than 197,000 followers.
'First of all, we walked in and we're just like, looking around … I didn't even notice [Lively] at first. I'm just looking, shopping for my sister, and the way [Lively's] talking to the workers at the store was so rude,' she claimed.
'She was like, 'I want a fresh one of these — one that wasn't touched by other customers. … Is there a private bathroom?''
Landon alleged that Lively, 37, was 'ignoring' everyone, including her kids and her niece, as she chose the patches she wanted to add to her customised bag.
'I was like, 'Oh my God. People are working hard in stores like this and this is how you're treating them?' Like, you're being so entitled,' Landon claimed.
'And the second we walked out, it was clear that we were invading their space — it's a store, first of all. There's no sign that says you can't enter. She didn't block it off,' she added.
'And the second we leave, [Lively's] security guard comes and stands in front of the door. And now I'm at the corner of the street and the security guard is staring at me.'
Landon then sent a stark message to people who still support Lively.
'If anyone is still a fan of Blake Lively, I think recheck your decision on that because she's not very nice to the common people,' she claimed.
Page Six has reached out to Lively's rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
On Saturday, Lively shared on her Instagram Stories that she was inside Stoney Clover Lane, holding a pink pouch that had several sparkling patches on it, including a 'B' for her first name and an 'R,' presumably for her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
'@stoneyclover = my heaven,' she wrote atop the video. 'Not an ad. I'm simply a 90s child who will forever be a devotee to any concept that includes make your own custom neon pastel glitter paradise … forever and ever, always.'
Landon's claims about Lively came amid the A Simple Favor actress's contentious legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
In December 2024, she filed a lawsuit against the director, accusing him of sexually harassing her on the set of their 2024 film, It Ends With Us.
The 'Jane the Virgin' alum, 41, denied Lively's claims and, in January, filed a $US400 million suit against her, her husband, 48, and their publicist, Leslie Sloane, alleging defamation, extortion and more.
Their trial is slated to begin in March 2026.

Gary Shteyngart, Jennifer Mills and Rhett Davis ask what's next

Russian born US writer Gary Shteyngart imagines a future America with strong parallels to Russia in Vera, or Faith, Adelaide based author Jennifer Mills' latest novel Salvage rockets into space after ecological collapse, and Geelong author Rhett Davis on Aborescence about people who want to become trees. Gary Shteyngart is the Russian-born, American-based author of novels including Absurdistan, Super Sad True Love Story and Our Country Friends. His latest book Vera, or Faith, is about a precocious child living in near future America, where cars have attitude and equality is under threat. Gary talks about the worrying parallels between the USA and Russia and the precarious state of immigrants in the country. Jennifer Mills (Dyschronia and The Airways) is one of the most exciting experimental writers in Australia. Her latest novel, Salvage, is a propulsive novel about sisterhood, space and what happens after ecological collapse. She also talks about wanting her books to be of use to readers. And staying with the environmental theme, Geelong based author Rhett Davis's second book Arborescence continues his fascination with trees that featured in his debut, Hovering. Arborescence is about a movement of people who want to grow roots and become trees (and they do, in their billions)! It's also about the absurdity of modern-day life.

Britney Spears' ex-husband Sam Asghari savagely roasts Kevin Federline over new tell-all book

Britney Spears' ex-husband Sam Asghari took a vicious swipe at Kevin Federline over his upcoming tell-all book, calling the dad of six a 'professional father'. In a clip shared by TMZ on Saturday, a photographer asked the former personal trainer what he thought of Federline's upcoming book, which will 'detail his marriage with Britney.' 'Well, he was a professional father,' he replied while walking outside West Hollywood hotspot The Abbey on Saturday, cheekily adding that the memoir 'would be the first book that'll tell you how to be a professional father'. Federline — who was married to Spears, 43, from 2004 to 2007 — announced his upcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew, earlier this month. Per The Daily Mail, the former back-up dancer — who shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden James, 18, with Spears — wrote in a press release that the book will uncover personal details about their 'highly publicised marriage'. 'This book is extremely intimate and transparent,' Federline wrote in the release. 'I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced non-stop emotional turbulence.' The book is set for release on October 21 in the US. Federline famously took custody of their sons after the marriage ended, and collected $US20,000 ($30,678) a month in child support from the pop princess until November 2024 — when both sons were past the age of 18. Following the ill-fated union, which saw Spears endure a highly publicised meltdown amid the end of her marriage, Federline went on to marry Victoria Prince, with whom he shares two daughters. He also shares two grown children with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson. Spears was briefly married to childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004, though the union was quickly annulled. Years after her split from Federline, she went on to date Asghari after filming her Slumber Party music video with him. In May 2022, following their 2021 engagement, the former couple endured a miscarriage. 'It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that we have lost our miracle baby early in the pregnancy,' they said in a joint statement at the time. 'This is a devastating time for any parent. Perhaps we should have waited to announce until we were further along. However we were overly excited to share the good news.' Spears went on to marry Asghari in a star-studded ceremony in June 2022, only to have it end in divorce in 2024. Asghari, 31, who is now dating Brooke Irvine, appears to have residual loyalty for his famous ex-wife. The Traitors personality told Page Six in January that he wishes his ex-wife 'the best,' despite their failed marriage. 'I think that the number one factor of a partner is to be there for one another, no matter what,' he added.

Meghan and Harry announce huge Netflix news

Hallmark doesn't sell a 'Congratulations - kinda' card but maybe they should start in case Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Montecito neighbours want to send them something. On Tuesday, the couple announced they have struck a new, lesser deal with Netflix, which is a far cry from their golden handcuffs, dumptruck-of-cash-kinda arrangement they snagged in 2020. Back then the value of their Netflix marriage was pegged at a reported USD$100 million ($153 million) but in its place, this time, they have secured what The Hollywood Reporter (THR) has called a 'downgraded' arrangement that will give the company a first-look at the Sussexes' projects. In further less sunny news, the New York Times broke the news this week of previously unreported 'tensions' between the couple and the billion-dollar company over their tell-all 2022 docu-series Harry & Meghan. Step back and things are not as they were in 2020. When the duke and duchess announced the news five years ago, the New York Times hailed it as a 'megawatt' deal; now it says that the streamer is 'loosening its ties' with the couple and suggested that they 'may not have met expectations.' Back then the Sussexes proclaimed that 'Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope'. They were a unit, a twofer, co-producers, co-stars, and an indivisible package. This time, per THR, the upbeat statement came only from the duchess, with her referring to 'My husband and I' and saying 'We're proud to extend our partnership'. Looking ahead, while Meghan's TV plate looks laddled-on bulging, Harry's appears to have only far slimmer pickings. On the upcoming slate for the Sussexes: Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within, a short documentary that both will produce about orphans in Uganda; a second season and a Christmas special of With Love, Meghan; and their adaptation of the book Meet Me At The Lake, which they have been working on for two years now. There is no director or stars attached (or even quietly mooted) and it has not been revealed if there is even a script. In all this, what is really in here for Harry? Masaka Kids sounds right up in his wheelhouse but it's a co-pro with Meghan and not feature length. And of Lake, it's hard to see a weepy romance as a natural fit for the two-tours-on-the-Afghanistan-front-line Duke of Sussex. The day after the Sussexes' new Netflix deal was revealed, the trailer for the second season of WIth Love dropped. Unlike the first season, there is no glimpse of a doting, proud Harry. (And in all fairness to the Sussexes, the reality is that Netflix has long abandoned those plump $100 million, padded deals of yore and Harry and Meghan now fall into the same basket as the Obamas and their friend Tyler Perry who also have first look deals with the platform.) Unlike back in 2020, now, the duke and duchess appear to have two-track careers. While over the last six months, Meghan set out her commercial stall with her As Ever line, putting flower sprinkles on the cultural map and generating more headlines about jam than it has enjoyed since it was invented in 6th century Sasanian Persia, Harry seems professionally adrift. He increasingly looks like a prince without a portfolio and as far has been announced, has no solo projects to his very grand name. How different a reality is this to the way the future looked for the Sussexes in 2020. Back then, when the news came they were getting into bed with Netflix, it seemed like a surefire success in the making: They could make some largely inoffensive viewing about elephants or melting glaciers and the entertainment giant could brag about having the world's most famous couple on their books. The couple's biggest success has been their pound-of-flesh, six-parter Harry & Meghan, which set records and left Buckingham Palace sorts quailing from behind a chintzy sofa. However this week revealed that Harry & Meghan was not the unabashed win it outwardly appeared, with the New York Times reporting that there had 'been tensions between Netflix and Archewell' around the project. 'The streaming giant found out about the release date of Harry's memoir Spare just a few months before the documentary series about the couple was set to debut,' the Times revealed. 'That upset some Netflix executives because the book covered some of the same ground as the series, undercutting the exclusive nature of the show.' However since then, independently, while Meghan has found her niche with With Love, Harry's forays (Heart of Invictus and Polo) have proven about as successful as his ability to keep his trousers on in Las Vegas. Widen the lens further and while the duchess stretches her entrepreneurial legs and hits her stride, having launched herself back onto Instagram (@Meghan has 4.1 million followers), releasing a new podcast (Confessions of a Female Founder) and setting up a ShopMy account to monetise her incredible style, the duke seems to have struggled to find any sort of groove. He never managed to get a podcast across the line with Spotify during the couple's two and a half year contract; his TV projects have been ratings turkeys; and in March he resigned from his own charity Sentebale along with the co-founder and trustees after a bitter falling out with the chair. Last week the UK's charity commission issued a report that 'criticised all parties to the dispute', including the duke. (The report cleared him of bullying allegations.) The father-of-two is reportedly 'utterly devastated' over the situation and he is considering setting up a new charity. He certainly appears to have the time. Outside of his mainstay charity biggie the Invictus Games, the Duke of Sussex now appears to be at sea. With no individual TV projects of his own and having cut ties with Sentebale, where does he go from here? Meghan's path now seems set - more of With Love and her plinking flowers on plates and trying to teach the world how to use crimping shears and make chutney and more selling out of her As Ever wine and jam. By contrast, Harry, despite his charm, energy and drive to do good, seems to be stuck in the work wilderness. At least, should his father King Charles ever extend even a spindly sapling of an olive branch, his calendar should be clear that week's announcement has truly set off those in the bitterly opposing Sussex factions. Supporters have been gleefully heralding the news on social media with all the gusto of Vatican bell-ringers catching sight of the second coming; detractors have been doing plenty of unseemly crowing about the reduced nature of it all.
