Blake Lively Admits to Creative Control Tensions in Resurfaced Video

A resurfaced video from the 2022 Forbes Power Women's Summit shows Blake Lively revealing that her creative involvement in films has led to tensions with producers. The Gossip Girl star admitted that some industry professionals 'resented' her for asserting herself creatively after being hired solely as an actress. Lively explained that early in her career, she would hide her creative ambitions during meetings to secure roles. However, she later felt compelled to advocate for her vision, acknowledging that it sometimes created friction. This revelation comes amid Lively's ongoing legal dispute with actor-director Justin Baldoni over their film "It Ends With Us".
