Blake Lively's attitude and behavior on the set of It Ends With Us apparently made her unpopular in certain crowds in Hollywood, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
According to a source, the Gossip Girl star, 38, "thinks she's God's gift to entertainment" and treated the crew poorly while filming.
Blake Lively Accused of Being 'Effortlessly Rude'

Blake Lively starred in 'It Ends With Us' alongside Justin Baldoni.
"She threw her weight around and acted like everyone was beneath her," the insider told Radar in resurfaced comments. "Anyone who wasn’t agreeing with her was viewed as the enemy."
A separate source dubbed the mother-of-four "effortlessly rude."
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Legal Battle

Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively were embroiled in a lengthy legal battle starting in 2024.
But rumors of poor attitudes aren't all that came out of the romance film.
As Radar previously reported, Lively and director Justin Baldoni found themselves in a lengthy legal battle as they both slung accusations of wrongdoing.
The Age of Adaline actress accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and attempting to ruin her reputation in a complaint filed in late 2024. The next month, the filmmaker hit back with a $400million countersuit accusing her of defamation, civil extortion and more.
In May 2026, the duo finally reached an out-of-court settlement after more than one year of legal back-and-forth.
However, last month, Lively hit Baldoni with an additional $8million lawsuit for attorney fees and other related costs.
Inside Blake Lively and Taylor Swift's Rift

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are allegedly no longer close.
Lively's decade-long friendship with Taylor Swift was also reportedly rocked by the legal drama.
As Radar previously reported, Baldoni's team initially wanted to depose Swift in the court proceedings. The judge later rejected their bid.
Additionally, a text message in Baldoni's lawsuit sent gossip swirling that Lively may have been referring to the pop star's power in the industry.
The text read: "If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you’ll appreciate that I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons. For better or worse, but usually better. Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. You will too, I can promise you."
However, it has not been confirmed who Lively was referring to.
Taylor Swift Allegedly Cuts Ties With Blake Lively's Kids


Taylor Swift was the godmother to Blake Lively's daughters.
Although neither Lively nor Swift has publicly announced they are no longer friends, according to a source, the singer's alleged private decision to distance herself from the relationship was "one of the toughest decisions she's ever had to make."
"It was very emotional because she loves the girls," a source told the Daily Mail, referring to Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds' daughters – James, Inez and Betty. "It hurt her heart, but she had no choice given the circumstances."
Swift was not only the girls' godmother, but she also mentioned all of their names in her Folklore album and featured James' voice in her song Gorgeous.
Despite their closeness, the source noted Swift "wanted to make a clean and total break."
Lively and Reynolds were also notably absent from Swift and husband Travis Kelce's wedding at Madison Square Garden. Instead, they were spotted 300 miles away on the day the happy couple said, "I do."
