Part 6/12:
Adding to the drama, a recent TMZ report alleges that Blake Lively felt fat-shamed by Baloni during filming. Specifically, the actor was said to have asked questions about her weight and health—purportedly due to his concern over potential back injuries from lifting her during a scene.
However, the controversy is muddied by whether these allegations stem from genuine concern or are part of a PR narrative designed to paint the actor in a negative light. It’s worth noting that Blake was postpartum at the time, and public perceptions of her weight have been scrutinized before. The incident, if true, raises questions about professionalism and boundaries on set, but critics argue it might be an overblown controversy used strategically.
