Blake Lively is being criticized from all sides after a new video shows her embarrassing remark about her gossip Girl acting colleagues.

In a now-viral TikTok clip, Lively appears to insult her fellow actors Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick and Penn Badgley during a panel discussion at Paleyfest in 2008.

Lively revealed the “promises” gossip Girl The makers persuaded her to agree to play the role of “It Girl” Serena van der Woodsen in the teen drama.

Lively jokingly mentioned a promise involving Westwick’s character Chuck Bass, who keeps a pet monkey in the original books.

“Another promise was that there would be no pet monkey,” she recalled. “Chuck has a pet monkey with matching outfits. And I thought, ‘I’d love to be part of the show, but I can’t act with a monkey,'” Lively said, laughing.

Then she turned to her left, pointed to her co-stars and said, “Well, I caught a few of them.”

Meester, who was sitting next to Lively, did not seem amused and grimaced at the jibe.

Westwick and Badgley, also sitting to her left, looked down unsmiling. Lively immediately insisted it was a joke.
