Blake Lively opened up about her “intense” year in a new interview.
In a statement following her lawsuit, Blake told the New York Times, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”
Little has been said outside the star’s lawyers. However, amid the release of Another Simple Favor, Blake took to Late Night With Seth Meyers and was asked about her family life. After divulging the quirks of her four young children, she added, “It’s no surprise, I’ve had a pretty intense year. They’re just my lifeline. No matter what day I am having, I have to be Disneyland every day for them. It’s the best.”
Affirming that she couldn’t “say much” about the ongoing legal proceedings, Blake continued, “What I can say, without going too into it, is that this year has been full of the highest highs and the lowest lows of my life.”
“I see so many women around afraid to speak, especially right now, afraid to share their experience. Fear is by design, it’s what keeps us silent. But I also acknowledge that many people don’t have the opportunity to speak, so I do feel fortunate that I’ve been able to,” she said.
“It’s the women who have had the ability to use their voice that’s kept me strong and helped me in my belief and my fight for the world to be safer for women and girls. It’s a pretty simple thing,” Blake added.
Blake further alluded to what was happening in her speech at the 2025 Time100 Gala last month, where she said, “I have so much to say about the last two years of my life, but tonight is not the forum. What I will speak to separately is the feeling of being a woman who has a voice today.”
