Blake Lively Accused of 'Entitled' Behavior in NYC Store: TikToker's Shocking Claims
Blake Lively Under Fire for Alleged Rude Behavior Towards NYC Shop Assistant
In a shocking turn of events, Blake Lively has been accused of behaving rudely and "entitled" towards an NYC shop assistant in an explosive TikTok video that's left fans of the actress stunned. The video, posted by TikTok user @imlandonanne, who boasts a whopping 197,000 followers, claims that Lively was completely out of line during a recent shopping trip to luxury retailer Stoney Clover Lane.
The drama went down just two days before Lively scored a major victory in the $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit filed by her It Ends with Us collaborator Justin Baldoni. But it seems that not everyone is celebrating her win, as @imlandonanne's video has sparked a heated debate about the actress's behavior.
"I don't know how she has any fans anymore," @imlandonanne said in the scathing video. "I was shopping for my sister at Stoney Clover Lane when I saw Blake Lively walking around with her kids and niece Kate Johnson. But it was clear that they were invading everyone else's space - there's no sign that says you can't enter, but she acted like it was private property."
The TikTok user claimed that Lively was being incredibly rude to the shop assistants, demanding special treatment and amenities that weren't available to other customers. "She wanted a fresh [item] that hadn't been touched by other customers - is there a private bathroom?" @imlandonanne mimicked Lively's tone in the video.
But what really got @imlandonanne's goat was when Lively allegedly ignored everyone else in the store, including the shop assistants who were working hard to help her. "Like, you're being so entitled," @imlandonanne said, visibly shaken by the encounter.
The TikTok user also claimed that Lively and her entourage didn't seem to care about invading other people's space - after all, there was no sign that said they couldn't enter the store. "It's like she thought she owned the place," @imlandonanne said.
Stoney Clover Lane is an up-and-coming brand that describes itself as a luxury lifestyle and accessories brand designed to bring joy and ease to the everyday. But it seems that Lively didn't quite get the memo - at least, not when it comes to treating shop assistants with respect.
When reached for comment by The Scholarly Note.com, reps for Lively had yet to respond, but we're sure they'll be fielding a lot of questions about this one in the coming days.
And speaking of drama, just a few days ago, Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against Lively was dismissed by a judge - a move that her lawyers hailed as a "total victory." But it seems that @imlandonanne is still reeling from their encounter with the actress.
In a bizarre twist, it emerged that Baldoni had also filed a defamation claim against the New York Times for $250 million over a December 21 story titled '"We Can Bury Anyone": Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine.' The newspaper denied the allegations, but we're sure this drama will be playing out for months to come.
Lively has since broken her silence on the bombshell victory, posting a heartfelt message on Instagram that's left fans and detractors alike talking. "Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organizations united in defending women’s rights to speak up for their safety," she wrote. "Like so many others, I’ve felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us."
She vowed to continue standing up for women's rights and defending her integrity, even when faced with overwhelming pressure from her detractors. "While the suit against me was defeated, so many don’t have the resources to fight back," she wrote.
And in a nod to her fans who've stuck by her through thick and thin, Lively expressed her gratitude for their unwavering support. "With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know...many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you."
But it seems that not everyone is buying into Lively's message - at least, not after witnessing her alleged behavior towards the shop assistant in @imlandonanne's TikTok video. Will this drama ultimately damage Lively's reputation? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: this is a story that's far from over.
