Honouring bullies at the TIME100 Gala

During the recent TIME100 Gala, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were celebrated for their contributions to society. Lively took a moment to reflect on the profound influence her mother, Willie Elaine McAlpin, had on her life. McAlpin is a survivor of serious crimes against women, and Lively shared that her mother’s journey significantly shaped her values and beliefs.

Facing Criticism

While the evening was meant to shine a light on resilience, it was met with criticism from fans who took issue with Lively’s choice to discuss her mother’s experiences. Many pointed out her past silence on domestic violence issues, particularly in connection with her promotion of «It Ends With Us», a film that explores themes of abusive relationships. These contradictions left some questioning whether Lively could genuinely advocate for survivors while remaining quiet on such crucial topics.
