“Justin Baldoni’s Viral Wedding Apology: Is Blake Lively’s Harassment Lawsuit the Real Reason Behind the Drama?”
Others questioned how genuine Lively’s allegations were.
“Blake’s PR trying to fling anything at the wall to see what sticks,” someone penned.
“Just watch all of Blake’s interviews, [it’s] on YouTube, and social media. Also watch her interviewer’s response then you’ll all know who’s capable of lying and manipulation,” read a comment.
For a handful, it seemed as though both Baldoni and Lively’s PR team was “smear campaigning both sides at this point.”

As reported by Independent, Lively is suing her movie co-star for sexual harassment, as well as a campaign to “destroy” her reputation.
In the film, the Gossip Girl stars as Lily Bloom — a character who gets mistreated and abused by her partner, Ryle Kincaid, played by Baldoni.
Viewers have found it suspicious that the two main stars of the movie always managed to avoid one another as they promoted the film, additionally calling out Lively for her “tone-deaf” answers when asked about the abuse Lily Boom goes through.

Things looked especially bad after Baldoni continuously praised his co-worker.
He described Lively as “strong, funny and intelligent — all the things you want from a female heroine.”
The 40-year-old later tagged on, “There wasn’t a part of this production that she didn’t touch and have an influence on. And everything she put her hands on and her mind to, she made it better.”
