EXCLUSIVE: REESE WITHERSPOON STILL CAN’T STAND BLAKE LIVELY — AND SHE’S NOT THE ONLY ONE
“She’s rubbed a lot of people the wrong way,” says source — as old feud chatter reignites amid Baldoni legal scandal
While Blake Lively faces mounting legal drama and a PR crisis over her battle with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni, another fire is being quietly reignited behind the scenes — and this one’s coming straight from Hollywood’s inner circle.
Sources tell #ShuterScoop that Reese Witherspoon has “never been a fan” of Lively — and that the feeling is mutual.
“Reese still doesn’t like her. She never did,” one well-placed source dishes. “Blake’s been cold, dismissive, and downright rude to people Reese respects — and Reese doesn’t forget that kind of thing.”
The clip in question? Reese’s biting speech while accepting the MTV Generation Award, just days after Lively’s alleged nude photos leaked online. In the now-viral moment, Witherspoon took a not-so-subtle swipe that many took as a direct dig:
“When I came up in this business, if you made a sex tape, you were embarrassed and you hid it under your bed.”
“She meant what she said back then,” another insider explains. “She didn’t like the way Blake handled herself, and she’s not the only one in town who feels that way.”
Despite Lively’s carefully curated image as a wholesome fashionista and mom-of-four, multiple industry insiders claim she’s earned a reputation for being “difficult,” “calculating,” and “not nearly as sweet as she pretends.”
“She’s been mean to assistants, cold on set, and very aware of hierarchy,” says one longtime producer. “If you’re not someone she sees as useful, you’re invisible.”
“She’s burned bridges — plural,” adds another. “Some people are just done with her.”
Lively, 37, has kept quiet amid the recent wave of backlash surrounding her harassment claims against Baldoni — but those close to her say she’s “unbothered” by the resurfaced Reese clip and is focusing on “telling her truth.”
Still, in a town that thrives on whispers and reputations, the temperature around Blake appears to be dropping fast.
“She’s not America’s sweetheart behind closed doors,” a PR insider says. “And right now, a lot of folks are happy to let that narrative change.”
