Blake Lively’s ‘utter hypocrisy’ called out after her Met Gala 2026 appearance, per source
According to RadarOnline.com, Blake Lively is being accused of “utter hypocrisy” for attending the Met Gala 2026. Critics have told the outlet that her stances don’t align with her attending an event supported by the Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos. For those unaware, the company has been reportedly accused of mistreating workers over pay, working conditions, and other misconduct. Last month, the National Labor Relations Board, aka NLRB, said in its ruling that Amazon must cooperate with the Staten Island warehouse workers.
An insider close to the Met Gala told RadarOnline.com, “There is a growing perception that Blake is willing to go all-in when it comes to calling out alleged wrongdoing in Hollywood.” However, they added that she’s “far less vocal when it comes to the corporate power structures she is now orbiting.” The individual continued that Lively is being questioned for talking about workplace conduct. This is because she is supporting an event backed by a company allegedly engaging in unfair labor practices.
Another source added, “The criticism against Blake is not subtle – and it is all about her inconsistency.” Amazon has faced repeated allegations of poorly treating its workers. Thus, the source continued, “it feels jarring that Blake has invested so much energy into challenging one individual,” while unbothered by the mentioned controversies.
On Monday, Lively and her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni settled their court case. Attorneys for both sides also confirmed the agreement in a joint statement. “The end product — the movie It Ends With Us — is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life,” the statement read. The statement continued, “Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors — and all survivors — is a goal that we stand behind.”
