Blake Lively victim: Max Read, Editor-in-chief of Gawker
Back when Blake’s ode to slavery blog, “allure of antebellum” of Preserve.us, was still alive, a media website Gawker was one of the few publications of the 2010s to call out the racism¹ and insensitivities of her Temu Goop blog romanticizing the antebellum era².
They also called out her multiple instances of plagiarism.³
Blake Lively, always litigious, repeatedly threatened him with legal action.*
However, Gawker won their standoff and Preserve folded.⁴
Blake has a history of resorting to lawsuits when held accountable for the consequences of her own actions.
