Blake Lively accused of ‘using’ Taylor Swift amidst It Ends With Us PR scandal

She has allegedly been ‘name-dropping’ her best friend to distract from the feud


If you’ve been on the internet recently, you definitely know about the insane It Ends With Us cast drama. Blake Lively can’t seem to stay out of it at the moment: From writer’s room arguments to resurfaced offensive interviews, it seems she’s a target for public hate. Now, Blake Lively is being accused of ‘relying’ on her long time bestie Taylor Swift to help her get out of the mess she’s in.

An insider gave the Daily Mail some serious updates in the Blake drama and how she’s handling it all. According to the source, “Blake has been relying on Taylor to get her through this storm in the same way that she relied on her every step of the way during the filming of It Ends With Us.” They also added that “Taylor knows how to handle backlash better than anyone” which is too true.

Blake has taken to smaller acts of shade in the It Ends With Us drama like unfollowing Justin Baldoni and deliberately skipping interviews with him for a film they both worked on. Instead, the source claims that she’s bringing up Taylor in “interviews and other promotional work” in hopes that “it will help pull her out of this mess.” Taylor is a big and popular name to drop, so it’s not a surprise she’s being used to overshadow the drama.

This isn’t even the first time Blake Lively has allegedly used Taylor Swift to her advantage: The source also claimed that Blake “constantly name dropped” Taylor “at any chance” she could while they were on set. Apparently, “she would call her on speaker and make sure that everyone knew she was talking to Taylor.” I mean, if I had Taylor Swift in my contacts I’d probably be doing the same.
