There’s another scandal lately with one of the famous Hollywood actresses, Blake Lively. Just before the premier of “It Ends With Us,” an internet discussion arises concerning the behavior of Lively towards young co star Isabella Ferrer. They claim that she never lets Isabella speak up during the interview and takes all the floor all by herself.
Internet Questions
Isabella Ferrer played the young version of Lily Bloom, played by Blake Lively, in this movie. During the film’s promotion, both of them gave many interviews together. Some people on the Internet added clips of these interviews and claimed that Lively was constantly interrupting Ferrer or not letting her speak. Have I ever seen someone speak so much without making any sense. This is very odd”, one said.
Criticisms of Blake Lively
Many online users believed that Lively kept the interview only on her and pushed Ferrer behind. One of the users wrote, “When both were being interviewed, why did Blake need to bring herself forward again and again? Blake also answered the questions asked for Ferrer. It seemed as if she was promoting herself.”
Some say Ferrer won the whole debate with the power of silence as because of it Lively’s true character was exposed. The other man says, “Has anybody ever interviewed Ferrer except Blake? It looks like she is not letting people say much so they cannot say anything that would put her in jeopardy.”
Was it intentional?
Media expert Kara Schmiemann shared with Fox News, “Now the time has come for women to stop seeing each other as competition and cooperate. Especially in an industry like Hollywood, where new artists need to learn from senior artists.” She said Blake Lively must have played a role of being a mentor towards Ferrer, not suppressing her.
But some folks feel that it all wasn’t done in purpose. Doug Eldridge, a public relations specialist, commented that, “Blake Lively is the star of this film as well as is a starring actor. There would be some form of ‘game of seniority’ in an interview with any media, for example, senior actors speak the most. In no way this needs to say it has happened at the expense of anyone’s. She also said in an interview with People magazine that Blake Lively is like “an angel” and there’s a nice friendship between the two. Ferrer also said that Lively supported her a lot. Ferrer tells The Hollywood Reporter in a conversation, “Blake came to me and said that this character is as much yours as it is mine”. I felt really great to hear that because I was a newcomer; to have this kind of knowledge that one super star supports me, makes all the difference.
Legal controversy about the movie
Even the actress Isabella Ferrer has been dragged into a major legal dispute related to the film. In January 2025, the director and co-star Justin Baldoni, of the movie, filed a $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.
The lawsuit states that Blake Lively instigated other artists against Baldoni and asked them to stop following him. Ferrer is also the one who had stopped following him. However, now some legal papers have surfaced that included screenshots of Ferrer’s message to Baldoni, in which Ferrer appreciates the director and says that he gave a safe, wonderful atmosphere.
Impact on Ferrer’s image?
As for experts, nothing meaningful will influence Ferrer’s career from this controversy. A public relations expert, Schmiemann, was quoted saying that “Isabella Ferrer has given a great performance in the film and her role in this controversy is just a footnote.” It would have been better if she had not taken any sides on this matter.
However, many experts believe that if Ferrer or some other actors really did play an important role in this scandal, then they might suffer serious career damage. Still, their future will not be threatened only by ‘guilt by association’.
Conclusion
Most of the interviews with Blake Lively and Isabella Ferrer have generated a lot of questions on social media. Some believe that Lively intentionally tried to suppress Ferrer, while others say it was just a normal media interaction. Ferrer himself has praised Lively, saying that he got much support from her.
There are several legal issues concerning the film in process, and it may involve the actors. However, experts think that Isabella Ferrer does not need to worry too much about the issue as this will not cause any harm to her career.
