Candace Owens has voiced strong opinions regarding the ongoing legal dispute between actress Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. Speaking on the January 8 episode of her YouTube show Candace, Owens made it clear she does not support Lively, accusing her of being "not a good person" and calling her actions an example of "modern feminism on steroids."
Owens criticized Lively's decision to file a civil rights complaint rather than pursuing a direct lawsuit. "Do not let [the lawsuit] distract you from the fact that she is not a kind person," Owens stated, describing the move as a potential tactic to protect her image. She further questioned why Lively chose to share her complaint with The New York Times instead of filing a lawsuit, asking, "Was this just a way to salvage her reputation?"
Recalling her time as an intern at Glamour magazine, Owens claimed her editor described Lively as the "most difficult" and "rudest" celebrity she had ever worked with. "People know this behind the scenes," Owens remarked, referring to Lively as "a bit of a brat."
The conservative commentator also addressed the support Lively received from actress Amber Heard, whose own legal battles have been widely publicized. "Amber Heard returned and gave a statement," Owens said. "I think after allegedly pooping on Johnny Depp's bed, she should sit this one down."
Lively's lawsuit, filed in December 2024, accuses Baldoni of sexual harassment. In response, Baldoni has countersued The New York Times over its coverage of the allegations. While the case has divided public opinion, Owens expressed confidence in Baldoni's innocence, saying, "My money is on Blake Lively being wrong."
Owens concluded by emphasizing her belief that Lively's actions reflect insincerity and a victimhood mentality. She labeled the actress as "remarkably unlikeable," asserting that her behavior exemplifies the worst aspects of modern feminism.
