Fans are coming for Blake Lively yet again after her less-than-enthusiastic reaction to receiving a friendship bracelet from a fan at the London premiere of her new movie, It Ends With Us.
In a TikTok video of the encounter, which was posted on Wednesday, August 14, the actress accepts a pink beaded bracelet but then quickly hands it off to someone nearby. Lively is then heard thanking the fan before saying, "I'm going to put it here because it doesn't go with my outfit, but I will wear it later," before moving onto another fan.
However, fans quickly noticed that the pink bracelet actually did match her outfit, including her earrings. This sparked criticism in the comments, with viewers accusing Lively of being dismissive to her fans.
"I will wear it later 😂. Yeah ok," remarked one user, referring to Lively's comment. "the way it actually FITS her whole outfit lmaooo ðŸ˜," agreed another. Some users compared her to the fictional character Regina George from Mean Girls, while another said she was giving "JLo Vibes."
In contrast, Lively's co-star, Isabela Ferrer, was praised for her warm reaction when receiving a similar bracelet. Ferrer immediately put it on, exclaiming, "Thank you! Oh my God, I'm going to put it on," before thanking the fan again.
The backlash is compounded by recent controversy surrounding Lively's promotion of It Ends With Us. During a recent press junket, she responded sarcastically when asked how fans could approach her to discuss the movie's dark themes regarding domestic violence. "Maybe asking for, like, my address, or my phone number. Or, like, location share?!" Lively responded while laughing, her head leaning on her arm.
This isn't the first time the 36-year-old has received criticism for her interviews –– while promoting the Woody Allen film Café Society in 2016, the actress was congratulated by journalist Kjersti Flaa on her "little bump," referring to her second pregnancy with husband Ryan Reynolds (which she had recently announced). Lively, seemingly unimpressed, sarcastically congratulated Flaa on her own "little bump" – even though Flaa was not pregnant. Lively's co-star Parker Posey joined in, trying to save the day, referring to her posterior and breasts as "little bumps," which amused Lively. The 2016 interview has recently resurfaced as Lively continues to come under fire for her promotion of It Ends With Us.
