Candace Owens ‘doesn’t understand’ what is Blake Lively’s issue with her after she’s mentioned in lawsuit
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Candace Owens blasted Blake Lively during the recent episode of her podcast ‘Candace’ after her name was also included in an amended lawsuit filed by the actress’ legal team against her ‘It Ends With Us’ co-star and director, Justin Baldoni.
Starting her show, the political commentator said, as per OK! Magazine, “We took a one-day break yesterday and we somehow time traveled to Christmas morning over here.”
“Because I was recently name-checked in Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' recent filing against Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios,” she revealed on the Wednesday, February 26, episode.

Continuing further, Candace Owens sarcastically noted, “I did it. I made it [and] I can now retire.”
“All the haters out there who doubted me are now asking for forgiveness and I just want to say thank you to all of you who believed in me, who believed in us, who knew that this day would come. So, grab your effing florals and welcome back to ‘Candace,’” she added.
The right-wing television personality’s name appeared in the lawsuit after the ‘Gossip Girl’ star and her husband Ryan Reynolds filed a request with the court to protect the privacy of their personal information amid the ongoing legal drama, as reported by Us Weekly.
As per the filing, there were “certain online content creators,” who “frequently parrot the Wayfarer Parties’ line”. The documents also included one of Owen’s X posts commenting on the legal fight.

Candace Owens, 35, said, “Let me clarify [that] I have never spoken to Bryan Freedman in my life and it hurts me deeply … [like] he and I are connected in the stars,” referring to attorney Bryan Freedman, who is representing the ‘Jane the Virgin’ star.
“I’ve never spoken to Justin Baldoni, so we’re talking [like it’s] a family that’s been torn apart, but we’ve never met each other,” she stated.
“What am I guilty of here? Leading the pack of people because we’re, what, psychotic and checking your filings every day and we said, ‘Oh, look, she’s filing for more protection?’… That’s what you’re doing. I don’t understand why I got name-checked,” Owens wondered.

Candace Owens, however, did not stop there as she directly addressed Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, saying, “I don’t understand what your problem is with me, other than the fact that I am under your skin… I’m not going to let go. I’m like a pit bull. I’m onto you.”
“You think I’m somehow connected to Bryan Freedman, but I’m not. But I will be in the future,” she asserted.
Owens also joked that she’s “so excited I’m under their skin. Blake and Ryan are watching!”
In December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit against her Baldoni alleging harassment during the filming of 'It Ends With Us' and orchestrating a smear campaign against her.
Baldoni denied all her accusations and filed his own $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against Reynolds, Lively, and their PR team.
