Blake Lively’s popularity plummets amid Justin Baldoni lawsuit; Hollywood insider claims, no one wants to work with her anymore

Blake Lively is currently making headlines way too frequently as she is facing backlash from all corners. She is in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. As her legal dispute with It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni, escalates, so does the backlash.

With Hollywood insiders turning away and her popularity dwindling, Lively's public image is suffering greatly. Blake Lively's popularity has dipped to a new low as her legal battle with Justin Baldoni progresses.

In her lawsuit against "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni, who also directed and produced the film, Blake Lively is attempting to portray herself as a victim of sexual harassment and defamation. However, her public image is reaching a new low, as quoted in a report by the NewsNation.

What do the polls say about Blake Lively?

According to a poll, Lively's popularity is only 54.5% lower than it was a year ago, according to market research firm YouGov, which monitors public figures' fame and popularity.

However, this is not as low as it was in January, when Baldoni retaliated with his own lawsuit, which includes his suit along with a timeline of events and receipts to support his claims.

Though it appears to be much higher if you watch reels on social media, only 7% of those surveyed actively dislike her, and 25% were "neutral."
