Blake Lively's reputation has come under scrutiny following accusations from Barbara Szeman, an assistant director on 'A Simple Favor', regarding her behavior during the film's production. Szeman's recent Instagram comments suggest that Lively was difficult to work with, claiming she brought crew members to tears. This revelation comes just as Lively's collaboration with Justin Baldoni is also facing controversy. The mixed reactions from Szeman's peers highlight a stark contrast between personal experiences of Lively, painting a troubling picture of workplace dynamics on the film set.
Szeman expressed discomfort with the attention but said she ultimately spoke out because Lively didn't treat crew members well, stating, 'I will say she was cruel to many.'
After revealing her own distress, Szeman commented, 'I cried my way home many nights because you try so hard to please someone who is never pleased.'
A friend of Szeman's expressed disbelief at Lively's behavior, saying, 'I had heard from people that she was so nice and lovely to work with—apparently not.'
Szeman cryptically called out Lively without naming her, stating, 'My experience with everyone was absolutely amazing, except for a certain someone who is the reason I quit being an AD.'
