Millennial Hearts everywhere rejoicing in the reunion of the famous series Gossip Girl! Yes, we all heard that right, Leighton Weester brought back the Gossip Girl along with her co-host while hosting the SAG Awards.

Hold on to your designer coats and prepare your best Gossip Girl gossip, because the 2025 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards brought something truly iconic a reunion of the Gossip Girl cast! Yes, you heard that right. The stars of the drama-filled, high-society world of the Upper East Side came together to dazzle us once more on the red carpet. But before we start celebrating this reunion like it’s prom night, let’s address the elephant in the room: Blake Lively was a no-show. Blair Waldorf, a.k.a. the one who always knew how to steal the spotlight, was conspicuously absent from this drama-packed evening, and let me tell you — the absence was felt.

Now, don’t get me wrong, the reunion was everything we could’ve asked for. The cast, clad in their finest red carpet attire, reunited in a flurry of fashion and charm. Leighton Meester and Penn Badgley were there, looking like the perfect combination of Gossip Girl royalty and indie-dramatic perfection. Ed Westwick looked like he had just stepped out of one of his smoldering, darkly brooding scenes, reminding us that Chuck Bass was the definition of “bad boy chic.” And let’s not forget Chace Crawford, who showed up looking as pristine as ever seriously, this guy is too pretty for this world. But let’s face it, the real buzz was supposed to be about Blake and her absence.

Here’s the thing: Blake Lively is Gossip Girl. She is the epitome of what the show stands for. The glam, the power, the perfectly timed shade – she was the one who made us believe that we, too, could be part of the ultra-exclusive Manhattan elite… if only we had the right outfits and perhaps a little scheming up our sleeves. So when Blake wasn’t there to pose for photos and deliver that signature Lively smile, well, let’s just say the drama was at an all-time high.

We all had questions. Was she too busy attending a Vogue cover shoot? Was she locked in a mysterious art gallery event in Paris? Or, and this is a real possibility, was she hiding somewhere in plain sight, watching from behind the scenes, just to keep us all guessing? Who knows. But one thing was clear — Blake’s absence was a scandal in its own right. It was the kind of juicy, eyebrow-raising moment that the Gossip Girl universe thrives on.

Let’s not ignore the fact that Blake Lively has a busy schedule. She’s got a million-dollar fashion empire, acting projects, and kids to look after. But the audacity of her not gracing us with her presence on one of the biggest nights in Hollywood? The gasp was heard around the world. Where was she? Was she busy plotting something bigger? against Baldoni perhaps, anyways moving on…..Could there have been a behind-the-scenes drama that only Gossip Girl herself could mastermind? The suspense was real, my friends.

Now, before you start to think we’re only focusing on the drama of the missing blonde bombshell (though, honestly, that’s kind of the point), let’s acknowledge the incredible moments the rest of the cast delivered. Leighton Meester—the ever-classy queen of schemes—was there, looking flawless as ever. Penn Badgley — the man of the hour who will always be Joe Goldberg to us — was his usual brooding self, but with a hint of Gossip Girl nostalgia. And then there was Ed Westwick, who we all know is Chuck Bass to his core, bringing that dark, almost too-cool-for-school energy to the red carpet. But still, we couldn’t shake the feeling that without Blake, it just wasn’t complete.

If there’s one thing that Gossip Girl taught us, it’s that everything is a plot. And let’s be real: Blake’s absence was its own plotline. Maybe it was a strategic move. Maybe it was a statement. Or maybe — just maybe — it’s the beginning of the most scandalous plot twist the Gossip Girl universe has ever seen.

As we all watched the reunion unfold without Blake Lively at the center, we were reminded of the one thing that will always be true: Gossip Girl is never, ever boring. And whether she’s physically there or not, we know that Blake’s influence will always loom large. We can’t wait to see what she does next — because, let’s face it, when it comes to Blake Lively and Gossip Girl, the drama never stops.

Blake

Move over, It Ends With Us because in real life, this saga is far from over! Hollywood has once again delivered a storyline juicier than any rom-com, and this time, it’s not playing out on the big screen. Instead, it’s unfolding in courtrooms, Instagram captions, and the land of lawsuits, where Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have become the leading stars of a legal thriller meets soap opera.

The Complaint Heard Around Tinseltown

Just when we thought the biggest Hollywood drama of 2024 was AI-generated actors, Blake Lively dropped a plot twist that would make even Gone Girl look tame. Four months after the release of It Ends With Us- a film ironically about a toxic relationship Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against co-star and director Justin Baldoni on December 20.

According to Lively, working with Baldoni wasn’t exactly a walk through a whimsical Hollywood set. Instead, she claimed that he engaged in “misconduct” during filming, and when she and her husband Ryan Reynolds (yes, Deadpool himself) tried to set boundaries before production resumed, Baldoni allegedly agreed—only to hire crisis PR pros for a smear campaign later.

Enter the Instagram Uplift & the Courtroom Cliffhangers

The very next day, Colleen Hoover, the beloved author of the book on which the film is based, came swinging like a literary superhero in Lively’s defense. In an Instagram Story filled with enough warmth to melt the ice-cold halls of Hollywood legal offices, she wrote: “@blakelively, you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive, and patient since the day we met. Never change. Never wilt.”

And just like that, Team Lively had its first official endorsement.

Meanwhile, Baldoni wasn’t sitting around waiting for the next chapter to be written without him. On December 31, he filed a $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times, claiming they had dragged his name through the mud in their article “We Can Bury Anyone: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine.” (With a title like that, they might as well have handed out popcorn with the print edition.)

The $400 Million Counterpunch!

Not to be outdone, Baldoni upped the ante faster than a Marvel movie adding post-credit scenes. On January 16, he hit back with a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds, and their publicist, claiming defamation, extortion, and more. (At this point, this legal battle has a bigger budget than most Oscar-winning films.)

Meanwhile, Lively’s legal team fired back with a statement to PEOPLE, saying:“Her serious claims of sexual harassment and retaliation are backed by concrete facts.”

To which Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman essentially said, Oh, you want facts? Well, we’ve got receipts. He promised to release “all the evidence” showing a pattern of bullying and threats from Lively’s side. (Somewhere, the Mean Girls cast is nodding in approval.

Will Hollywood see a settlement or an all-out courtroom showdown? Will Ryan Reynolds make a Deadpool-esque quip about this in his next interview? Will Justin Baldoni’s lawsuit make its way into a future Law & Order episode?

One thing’s for sure: this real-life drama is far from over, and we, the innocent popcorn-eating spectators, are buckled in for what’s shaping up to be Hollywood’s biggest legal thriller of the decade.
