Actress Blake Lively is facing a new controversy after being accused by a fan on social media of alleged mistreatment towards employees at a store during a visit this Saturday to a boutique in Manhattan.

According to a user identified as Landon, who shared her testimony through a video on TikTok, the incident occurred on Saturday, June 7th at the Stoney Clover Lane boutique.

In the video, which quickly went viral, the young woman recounted having crossed paths with the Gossip Girl star at the store and described the experience as “horrible” due to the actress’s alleged “haughty” and “dismissive” attitude towards the staff.
“It was honestly a horrible experience. I don’t understand how she still has fans. The way Lively spoke to the store employees was very rude,” said Landon, who also detailed that the actress demanded products that had not been touched by other customers and asked if there was a private bathroom."
The witness also stated that the actress ignored her children and niece while selecting patches to personalize a bag, and criticized her apparent lack of consideration towards the store’s employees.
The incident didn’t end there. According to Landon, as she was leaving the store, a bodyguard of Lively’s blocked the entrance and stood in front of the door, which she interpreted as an attempt to restrict access, even though the store is public. “He was standing on the corner staring at me,” she said.
The video generated a wave of reactions on social media, dividing opinions between those who supported the testimony and those who defended Lively, claiming that it was a subjective perception without clear evidence of the full context.
So far, Blake Lively has not publicly responded to the accusations. However, on the same day, she shared photos on her Instagram stories from the Stoney Clover Lane store, showing her personalized pink bag with shiny patches. “Not an ad. I’m just a 90s kid who will forever be devoted to any concept that involves creating your own pastel neon paradise with glitter,” she wrote.
This controversy adds to the complex legal scenario the actress is facing, as she is involved in a legal dispute with actor and director Justin Baldoni. In December 2024, Lively sued him for alleged sexual harassment during the filming of It Ends With Us. Baldoni denied the accusations and responded in January 2025 with a lawsuit for defamation, extortion, and other charges, demanding a compensation of 400 million dollars. The trial is scheduled for March 2026.
