Blake Lively Reveals Her Mother Was Assaulted Years Before She Was Born


Blake Lively revealed her mother was assaulted at last night's Time100 Gala, as she avoided discussing the Justin Baldoni It Ends With Us saga.

Accepting her honoree nomination at last night’s Time100 Gala, the It Ends With Us star said that at her mother’s “urging and unwavering bravery, she wanted me to share with you that she is a survivor of the worst crimes someone can commit against a woman.” She paid tribute to “incredible” fellow Time100 Honoree Gisèle Pelicot, the French woman who attended every day of the trial of her husband and dozens of men accused of drugging, raping and assaulting her late last year. Lively swerved the elephant in the room, Baldoni, only briefly alluding to the saga by noting: “I have so much to say about the last two years of my life, but tonight is not the forum.”
