The drama surrounding “It Ends With Us” has raised the question among many fans whether Blake Lively might secretly be a “mean girl.”

There are conflicting reports about the tensions behind the scenes of the film: some say director Justin Baldoni behaved inappropriately, while others claim Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds used their influence to shape the project in their favor. The situation remains unclear.

As people dig deeper into Blake’s past, her past with Gossip Girl co-stars is coming under scrutiny. Notably, her former co-stars – including Penn Badgley, Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick, Taylor Momsen, Jessica Szohr and Michelle Trachtenberg – are unfollowing her on Instagram. The only Gossip Girl cast member who still follows her is Chace Crawford.

There have long been rumors of friction between Blake and Leighton, who played Serena and Blair on the show. Executive producer Joshua Safran confirmed in 2017 that while they were cordial on set, they were not friends. He described Blake as “very present in the moment” and Leighton as “very distant and very quiet.”

The fact that Blake is not being pursued by any of her former co-stars – aside from Chace, who seems remarkably friendly – raises questions. Could this silence from her former colleagues indicate something else? What do you think, dear readers? Is Blake Lively really a “mean girl”?
