During the TIME100 Gala, Blake Lively mentioned her ongoing legal battle and shared a very personal story, when her mother was assaulted by someone she knew at her job.
She said, 'It's an interesting thing to be called influential. It's most definitely an honour, but what does influence mean? By definition, it's the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behaviour of someone or something.
'That's not only an honour, it's a significant responsibility. How we use that, is what matters. Who and what we stand up for and what we stay silent about, what we monetise versus what we actually live matters. I have so much to say about the last two years of my life, but tonight is not the forum," she added.
'My mom never got justice from her work acquaintance who attempted to take her life when she was the mother of 3 young kids, years before I was born. Never underestimate a woman's ability to endure pain. Life's just a bowl of cherries. Thank you to every woman whose strength brought life to me and my four children, and thank you to every man—including my sweet husband—who are kind and good when no one is watching," Blake Lively Added.
In December 2024, Blake accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and trying to damage her reputation. She also named his production company, Wayfarer Studios, in the case. Baldoni, on the other hand, denied all the claims and responded by filing a lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and their team.
