Amid the buzz surrounding Blake Lively's latest film, It Ends With Us, the actress finds herself at the center of a storm of controversy. Recent resurfacing of past comments has painted her in a problematic light, leading to a social media uproar and renewed scrutiny of her public persona.

Last week, an old interview with Lively reemerged, revealing that she had almost quit her acting career due to the discomfort caused by the questions posed to her.

This revelation added to the mounting tension surrounding her, but the controversy did not end there. A recently viral tweet brought back to light a transphobic remark Lively made years ago, intensifying the backlash.

The tweet, which has garnered over three million views on Twitter/X, features an image of Lively’s quote from a 2008 Elle magazine interview.

In the interview, Lively expressed her hopes for her future children with a troubling remark: “I hope to have a few girls one day. If not girls, they better be tr*nnies.

The quote, initially part of a broader discussion about her future family, has since been criticized for its insensitivity.
