Blake Lively is facing backlash after a fan publicly slammed the actress for what they described as “horrible” and “entitled” behavior during a recent shopping trip in New York City.
The incident, which quickly caught attention online before the original video was deleted, adds fuel to ongoing concerns about Blake Lively’s alleged off-camera behavior.
Blake Lively Accused Of Acting ‘Entitled’ During NYC Shopping Trip

The criticism came from a TikTok user named Landon, who recounted her unpleasant experience at the Stoney Clover Lane store while shopping with her mother and sister. Unaware at first that Lively was in the store, Landon said she soon noticed the actress's "rude" tone with the staff.
“She was like, ‘I want a fresh one of these. One that wasn’t touched by other customers. … Is there a private bathroom?’” Landon recalled, per Page Six, claiming that Lively spoke to employees rudely and acted as if the store was her private space.
The fan went on to allege that Lively ignored her children and niece while choosing patches for a customized bag, and made other shoppers feel unwelcome.
“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 said, adding that after she and her family left, a security guard immediately blocked the door and stared at her until she was out of sight.
“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,” Landon concluded in her now-deleted video.
Former Crew Member Says Blake Drove Her Out Of Hollywood

This isn't the first time Lively has been accused of problematic behavior.
Earlier this year, former assistant director Barbara Szeman, who worked on the 2018 film "A Simple Favor," claimed that Lively was the sole reason she left the industry. In comments posted under co-star Henry Golding’s Instagram post about the film’s sequel, Szeman wrote, “My experience with everyone was absolutely amazing, except for a certain someone who is the reason I quit being an AD.”
While she didn’t name Lively directly, Szeman added a telling, “Guess who that person is…” before referencing Lively’s reported legal conflict with "It Ends With Us" co-star and director Justin Baldoni. “Karma is real,” she said.
Former ‘Gossip Girl’ Co-Star Blasts Blake Lively’s On-Set Behavior

But it doesn't end there because another voice joined the conversation, this time from one of her former "Gossip Girl" co-stars.
Rossella Rago, who briefly appeared on the hit CW series before becoming a popular YouTube chef and host of "Cooking with Nonna," took to TikTok to recount what she described as a deeply unpleasant on-set experience with the actress.
In her viral video, Rago claimed Lively made the set uncomfortable with unprofessional behavior, saying, “She would burp and fart in the middle of the set, and act like we were lucky to be smelling her farts.” She further described the star as “very unpleasant to work with” and accused her of carrying a condescending attitude toward her fellow cast and crew.
The chef-turned-actress then tied the behavior to Lively’s ongoing behind-the-scenes drama with Baldoni, adding, “She is used to being adored, and when she is not, sh-t gets real, and Baldoni has found out how real it gets.”

As criticism surrounding Blake Lively continues to escalate, a resurfaced quote from a 2012 interview with Elle Magazine has sparked fresh outrage. As The Blast reported, the "Gossip Girl" actress used a now widely recognized transgender slur while discussing her future children.
"I hope to have a few girls one day. If not girls, they better be tr-nnies," Lively said in the interview. "Because I have some amazing shoes and bags and stories that need to be appreciated."
The offensive remark, which many fans had either forgotten or never seen, was quickly condemned across social media.
