Many people consider Blake Lively one of the luckiest women in the world. She’s a major film star in her own right, and as a bonus, she’s married to Ryan Reynolds. Rich, famous, and married to a handsome superstar…in that sense, she has it all. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t faced some difficulties, most of which were completely her fault.
As a celebrity superstar, Lively is constantly in front of the camera. Normally, she’s promoting movies or popping up at major events. Unfortunately, everything from her baffling fashion choices to her offensive language has caused drama that will likely follow her around for the rest of her life.

Blake Lively dropped a slur in an interview
Normally, celebrities are trained to be very cautious about their language. After all, it only takes a single careless word to create countless headlines and turn the biggest fans into major haters. However, Blake Lively apparently didn’t get that memo because she dropped a slur during an interview with Nylon TV.
She was being interviewed alongside her Gossip Girl costar Leighton Meester, someone with whom she was rumored to be feuding with. Lively wanted to kill those rumors but dropped a slur while doing so. “You read the gossip magazines, everybody [in the cast] is dating everyone, everybody hates everyone, everybody has had like tons of plastic surgery and they’re actually men and tr***ies,” she said, using a slur for transgender folks. “It’s just like you don’t listen to the rumors.”
This would have been bad enough as a one-off incident. Wildly enough, she used the slur two more times around the same time in other interviews. She’s never acknowledged this, but the scandal continues to follow her year after year.
