Although Blake Lively was present at the TIME 100 all-star gala in New York City on Thursday night, she was not everyone’s favorite to see her there.
At the TIME100 gala on Thursday night, Blake Lively found herself in Megyn Kelly’s firing line. The Gossip Girl actress, who was named one of TIME’s Most Influential People, also attended the event in New York City.
Despite her husband Ryan Reynolds not being featured on the list, he joined the It Ends With Us actress for the glittering occasion. Ryan looked dapper in a suave tuxedo, while Blake glowed in a red gown.
Despite her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, Megyn Kelly publicly criticized Blake’s inclusion on the prestigious list. The former Fox News host made the unflinching claim that Blake “shouldn’t be here” on the red carpet of the gala.
In a further swipe at the actress, Kelly accused her of “b******iz[ing] Me Too allegations” due to her sexual harassment lawsuit against It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin, who has strongly refuted the claims, reports the Mirror US.
Following Blake’s initial lawsuit, Justin responded by filing a $ 400 million defamation lawsuit against her, her publicist, and Ryan Reynolds, all of whom have refuted the allegations. Additionally, Justin has filed a $ 250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times for their coverage of Blake’s allegations.
It’s a ridiculous joke, I tell you. She shouldn’t be here, Megyn claimed, making reference to Blake.
She’s lived to regret making a fake Me Too claim against [Justin], she said, adding that almost every one of her accusations has been discredited.
It’s scandalous for her to be honored for trying to ruin a man for doing that, Megyn claimed.
While she didn’t hold back in criticising Blake, Megyn also quipped that she was actually looking forward to snapping a selfie with Blake and even Meghan Markle “in the distance”, as they’ve given her “so many hours of content.”
Despite Blake’s recent legal issues, Megyn has previously found herself in a similar situation.
Megyn told investigators that Roger Ailes, her former Fox News boss, had sexually harassed her, according to the Daily Mail.
In the 2019 film Bombshell, the conservative commentator’s ordeal was depicted along with the experiences of other prominent female anchors and reporters at Fox News.
In the film Bombshell, Charlize Theron reprised Megyn’s role.
Elsewhere at the lavish event in New York on Thursday, Nicole Scherzinger stunned in a glamorous sequin gown. The former Pussycat Dolls singer turned heads as she flaunted her toned figure in the sequin number.
A stunning glittery skirt and train completed the off-the-shoulder look with a velvet and satin top. A chunky gold and diamond bracelet was elegantly paired with it.
