Blake Lively's legal battle with Justin Baldoni appears to have taken a toll on her reputation in Hollywood. The actress and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, are reportedly seeing their industry supporters dwindle, while the actress herself is reportedly experiencing increasing isolation.
In fact, at their last public appearance, for the 50th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live," the couple seemed isolated from the other celebrity guests. Moreover, when Tina Fey asked Reynolds how he was doing, he jokingly replied:
"Great! Why, what did you hear?", with the atmosphere becoming somewhat awkward.
Also, a source revealed to the Daily Mail that "Blake and Ryan were the talk of the night and many preferred to distance themselves," as the couple left before the party with Blake looking somewhat nervous.

We note that in her revised lawsuit, Lively emphasizes that the case has profoundly affected her personal and family life, resulting in her avoiding public appearances while experiencing psychological pressure. The same, of course, applies to Reynolds and their children.
"The emotional impact on Lively was extreme, affecting not only herself, but also her husband and their four children. There are days when he has difficulty getting out of bed and often chooses not to go out. Reynolds, too, has been affected. Worst of all is the impact on their young children, who have been injured," the lawsuit states, among other things.
Even her close friend, Taylor Swift, has distanced herself, reinforcing the suggestion that Lively's social circle is changing.
While the trial is set for 2026, many believe this situation could have serious consequences for both her career and personal life.
