Blake Lively is making headlines once again following accusations from a former Gossip Girl cast member. In a recent TikTok video, actress-turned-chef Rossella Rago called Lively “horrendous” to work with, sharing some behind-the-scenes details of her time on the show. Rago’s comments come amid Lively’s ongoing legal battles with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni.
Here is what Rago has to say.
Gossip Girl star talks about Blake Lively’s behaviour
In a candid TikTok video, former Gossip Girl extra Rossella Rago shared her negative experiences working with Blake Lively, accusing the actress of unprofessional behavior. Rago, who transitioned from acting to hosting the popular cooking show “Cooking with Nonna,” claimed Lively created a problematic work environment during their time on set. She described Lively as being rude and condescending, recalling incidents where the actress would burp and fart between scenes, acting as if the crew should be grateful for it.
Rago also alleged that Lively was dismissive toward extras, refusing to interact directly with them and instead communicating through the director. In one particular instance, when Rago attempted to give Lively some script notes, the actress’s response was reportedly cold and insincere, thanking her in an unwelcoming manner.
Rago also reflected on Lively’s shift in attitude after her brief fling with Leonardo DiCaprio in 2011. The actress-turned-chef claimed Lively returned to the set in a sour mood and made it clear she didn’t want to engage with anyone. Rago expressed frustration with Lively’s attitude and said, “She is used to being adored, and when she is not, shit gets real, and Baldoni has found out how real it gets” The chef also added, “This guy [Justin Baldoni] has a wife and family. And made out these benign interactions are assault when I’ve seen the footage and I think just ‘go home.’” (via Daily Mail)
