“When the world hands you lemons, make lemonade,” they say. But what happens when Hollywood hands you a full-on legal battle, an explosive cover story, and a tug-of-war over reputations? For Blake Lively, the answer is simple: You don’t just sit back and hope it blows over. You have to fight back!

Ryan Reynolds’ wife didn’t hold back a single punch when she called out The Hollywood Reporter for serving up a “sexist trope” in their cover story about her legal battle with Justin Baldoni. A new lawsuit filed by Lively claims her time on set wasn’t just filled with awkward silences and minor disagreements—no, it was steeped in “invasive, unwelcome, unprofessional, and sexually inappropriate behavior.”

And as if that wasn’t enough to stir the pot, the THR cover story seems to have only poured gasoline on the fire.
