This article cannot be determined as true or false as it is an opinion piece on Blake Lively. Lively has been receiving a lot of backlash following her lead role in the new movie, "It Ends With Us." The title of the article might mislead readers into believing that it will outline exactly what Bake has done to upset people, however that's not the case. The article demonstrates an individual's admiration of Blake Lively's life, basically explaining how her cancellation has been long overdue. Although this piece is interesting to read and has a strong opinion behind it, there are no facts backing up this claim so it cannot be deemed as true or false.

This article was the author's opinion on Blake Lively and blames the media and society for the hate she received. The article only lists minor things, without context, that Lively has done and excludes major things that caused many fans to turn on her. The article talks about how Lively was promoting the movie with florals and pastels, but that wasn’t what fans were frustrated about. The context is because she was using the release of the movie to promote her brands instead of using the platform to bring more awareness about domestic violence towards women. Not to mention that she played as the victim in the movie. On the other hand, her co-star Justin Baldoni was using the media attention to promote ways that women can get help and stop the cycle of abuse. This wasn’t a one time instance that Lively showcased her ignorance, there’s an interview titled “The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job.” The interview starts off with Lively calling the interviewer fat, criticizing her questions, and ignoring the interviewer for the rest of the interview. In another clip promoting ‘It Ends With Us’ Lively gets asked a question about how people can approach her if they relate to the themes of domestic violence. She responds by asking if they wanted her address, location, or phone number, and not anything about domestic violence or ways to get help. There are other instances where Lively is arrogant and unconcerned that the Raemona article doesn’t cover, which ends up painting Lively in a different light.

This is an opinion piece, which means that it as a whole cannot be judged as true or false, It's a piece on a somewhat divisive issue, which means that it probably has strong feelings surrounding it.
