TIME100 Gala: See Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ Red Carpet Date Night Amid Legal Battle
Blake Lively wishes she could say more.
While speaking at the 2025 TIME100 Gala, where she was an honoree, the Another Simple Favor actress seemingly made a rare public comment about her ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni.
After saying that being called “influential” was a “significant responsibility,” Blake discussed the power of speaking up as a woman.
“How we use that matters,” the 37-year-old noted, per footage shared by Variety on social media from the April 24 event. “Who and what we stand up for, and what we stay silent about, what we monetize versus what we actually live, matters.”
Blake—who filed a lawsuit against Justin for sexual harassment and retaliation last year—added, “I have so much to say about the last two years of my life, but tonight is not the forum.” (Since her filing, Justin—who denied her allegations—has filed his own counterclaim against Blake, husband Ryan Reynolds and their publicist Leslie Sloan seeking $400 million. All defendants have denied the accusations.)
