Blake Lively would fart and act like we were lucky to be smelling her farts, reveals Gossip Girl extra Rossella Rago

Rossella Rago and Blake Lively

Rossella Rago, a former stand-in for Blake Lively on the hit TV show Gossip Girl, has accused the actress of behaving unprofessionally and creating a difficult work environment on set. Rago, who worked as Lively’s stand-in for all six seasons of the series, recently made the allegations in a TikTok video, describing Lively’s behavior as “horrendous” and sharing anecdotes that have sparked controversy online.

“She would burp and fart in the middle of set – and act like we were lucky to be smelling her farts,” Rago claimed. She added, “She was very unpleasant to work with. I just don’t know how else to say it.”

The allegations against Lively, who gained worldwide fame for her role as Serena van der Woodsen, paint a stark contrast to the poised and polished image the actress has maintained in public. Fans of Gossip Girl have expressed shock at the claims, while others have defended Lively, attributing the accusations to on-set stress or personal misunderstandings.

Rago’s Perspective on Fame and Entitlement

In her video, Rago also commented on how fame may have influenced Lively’s behavior, calling her a “nepo baby” who struggled to handle attention at a young age. “When she was 19, the whole world was blowing smoke up her a**. It’s really hard to keep your head when that happens,” Rago said. She alleged that Lively’s success and privilege contributed to a sense of entitlement on set.

“I’m thinking she believes she has the right to behave exactly as she wants. And how dare we make a fuss?” Rago questioned. She described instances where Lively’s attitude reportedly caused tension among cast and crew members, further reinforcing the claims of difficult behavior.

Connection to Legal Feud with Justin Baldoni

Rago also tied her comments to Blake Lively’s ongoing legal battle with actor and director Justin Baldoni. Lively recently filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and accusing him of orchestrating a “smear campaign” against her. Baldoni, in turn, filed a $400 million countersuit, accusing Lively of extortion, defamation, and invasion of privacy.

Rago alleged that Lively’s behavior in the legal dispute mirrors her actions on set. “She’s used to being adored, and when she’s not, s**t gets real,” Rago said. She claimed that Lively’s privileged position in the industry has led to her acting out when she doesn’t get her way. “Baldoni has found out how real it gets,” Rago added.

Mixed Reactions Online

The allegations have led to heated debates on social media, with fans and critics offering differing perspectives. While some have supported Rago for speaking out, others have dismissed her claims as an attempt to seek attention. Lively’s team has not responded to the allegations, and the actress herself has remained silent.

As the legal battle with Baldoni continues, these new allegations from Rago add another layer of controversy to Lively’s public image. For now, fans and observers alike are left to speculate about the truth behind the claims and what they might reveal about the dynamics on the set of Gossip Girl.
