Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively are the talk of the town right now—and not for the best reasons. Their lawsuit is turning into the latest pop-culture drama, not unlike the one we saw just three years ago. While the It Ends with Us controversy has resurfaced many of Lively’s past questionable moments, this is not the first time she has found herself under fire. With shocking revelations, a flood of scripts from both sides, and a social media storm going full-force for weeks— to make things even messier, an eight-year-old interview has resurfaced again.

This interview featured one of Lively’s Gossip Girl co-stars who left some things unsaid—but not unnoticed with some shocking hints.

In a 2017 episode of Watch What Happens Live, a fan asked Armie Hammer, a Gossip Girl alum, to name the biggest diva on set. Hammer gave a diplomatic response, saying, “Let me just say that was a tough show to film.” Show host Andy Cohen then asked him whose love interest he played on the series. Hammer immediately said, “I was Blake’s love interest,” which caught Chelsea Handler’s attention.

Handler playfully quipped, “Sounds like she was the problem.” Cohen, equally amused, added, “Sure does, Chelsea! That’s exactly what I was thinking.” Hammer, clearly uncomfortable, tried to brush it off with an awkward grin, saying, “No, no, that’s not what I’m saying.” The awkward laugh that followed only deepened the impression that Lively might have been a contributing factor to his early exit from the show. However, Hammer never outright confirmed it. Nonetheless, Hammer is not the only Gossip Girl actor suspected of having a feud with Lively.

Several others, the recent of them being Taylor Momsen, have hinted at similar tensions with the Deadpool & Wolverine actress. 

Over the years, Blake Lively has been at the center of many rumors about feuds with her co-stars— or so what insiders and reports have been claiming for years. And given her lengthy stint on Gossip Girl, it was no surprise that these stories have come up from the show as well. Recently, amid the It Ends with Us drama, social media influencer Perez Hilton shared a video, seemingly defending Justin Baldoni’s scripts. Among the Hollywood stars, including Jimmy Kimmel and Channing Tatum, Taylor Momsen was spotted liking the video.

Whether they had past tensions or if Momsen has simply distanced herself and taken a different side, is up for public speculation. But one of the most talked-about rumored feuds, though, was between Lively and Leighton Meester. New York Magazine reported in 2008 that the two were said to “avoid each other like the plague” on set, with other actors felt pressured to “choose sides.” These accounts continue to paint a less-than-flattering picture of Lively’s image, which likely will not help her in the current controversy.
