Blake Lively slams Hollywood Reporter for 'sexist' cover amid Justin Baldoni legal battle

 



Blake Lively was reportedly upset by a recent cover image published by The Hollywood Reporter, which showed her using a slingshot aimed at Justin Baldoni amid their ongoing legal dispute.   "The Hollywood Reporter should be ashamed of itself," a representative for the "It Ends With Us" actress, 37, told the Daily Mail on Friday.   "The framing in this picture is outrageously insulting as it plays into every sexist trope about women who dare file a workplace complaint, turning them into the aggressor, and suggesting they deserve the retaliation that comes their way."   The magazine included the controversial image of Lively alongside an article exploring how Baldoni’s Baha’i faith may have "inadvertently contributed" to his legal situation with her.   The Hollywood Reporter pointed out that a claim made by the "Age of Adaline" star in her complaint to the California Civil Rights Department and subsequent lawsuit—where she alleged that Baldoni once claimed he could communicate with her "dead father"—aligns with past public talks he has given about his religious beliefs.   "He has also referenced his interest in the afterlife in interviews," the article noted.   The piece also raised the possibility that the legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni might be less about gender equality and more about a "simple cultural misunderstanding."   "What if much of it — the alleged inappropriate hugging and pre-filming praying — could be explained as a clash between a very specific faith-driven community with its unique mores, and a much more modern, post-#MeToo one with its own set of beliefs and commandments?"   In response, Lively’s representative told the Daily Mail, "The story is extremely offensive as it incredibly seems to explain away documented examples of sexual harassment and retaliation by calling them ‘cultural misunderstandings.'"
