Blake Lively accused by former talent agency intern of 'flipping narratives' amid Justin Baldoni lawsuit
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Many of Blake Lively's 'It Ends With Us' castmates have supported the actress amid her controversial lawsuit against Justin Baldoni. However, an ex-intern for a major talent agency has made some shocking accusations about her.
The former intern, who goes with TikTok handle @coolmomjamie, took to her platform to share an experience with Lively that was far from pleasant, according to OK Magazine.
Former intern accuses Blake Lively of 'flipping narratives'
The former intern said in the TikTok clip, "I wanted to weigh in on the Blake Lively drama as someone who has worked with her. I specifically at one time worked with Blake Lively. So I want to color in what’s going on here."
She explained that she worked with Lively during a press junket for 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' while interning at the television channel Fuse. Jamie noted that "terrible" Lively made her cry.
She continued, "As an intern, we were allowed on set, but as someone who grew up on set, you don’t speak on set. It is quiet on set because obviously, the people with the microphones need to be heard, right? So your job was to just fetch things that various people needed. That day it was my job to hand out these little water bottles to anyone that needed them."

Jamie explained as Lively and three other girls from the movie were walking to the green room, they had to pass her in a hallway. Alleging she did not even speak to the 'Gossip Girl' star, Jamie shared her shock when all the interns were called upstairs after the segment and slammed for being unprofessional.
Moreover, Jamie was stunned when she was asked to stick around after the meeting.
She claimed, "She — specifically Blake — alleged that I was unprofessional and treated her like a fan. I want to reiterate I did not speak to her. I had no idea who she was. She had not done 'Gossip Girl' yet. This was her breakout thing. Didn’t even know her name."
She mentioned that Lively "went and complained" about her and this made her feel "extremely weirded out" and that she "cried on the train home" due to feeling "mortified".
She added, "Not only did I not treat her unprofessionally but nobody to my experience that I saw spoke to her."
Further in the video, she pointed out that she was forced to speak out amidst the legal tussle involving Live and Baldoni. She said, “This girl has a pattern of flipping the narrative, playing the victim, and then leveraging her status to actually bully and mistreat other people."
Blake Lively seeks additional damages over alleged smear campaign
In a new federal lawsuit, Blake Lively alleged that a coordinated "smear campaign" against her led to a drastic decline in sales of her haircare brand, Blake Brown, and her drinks lines, Betty Buzz and Betty Booze.
She is now seeking additional damages, accusing Baldoni of orchestrating a targeted public relations attack that harmed her brands, according to Daily Mail.
Moreover, her lawsuit points to a startling 78 percent drop in sales for Blake Brown, which she claims occurred after the alleged smear campaign was launched.
As per court documents, the negative publicity that followed the campaign caused a significant decrease in retail sales, which was "completely at odds" with the high consumer satisfaction scores the brand received before the backlash.
The lawsuit stated, "Based on internal sales projections, the sudden and unexpected negative media campaign launched against Ms Lively depressed retail sales of Blake Brown products by 56-78 per cent."
It further added, "This dramatic drop was completely at odds with the high satisfaction scores that Blake Brown products received in the significant consumer testing performed before launch or its initial success after launch."
