Her Comeback Plan Revealed!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Blake Lively<\/strong> is working on her comeback plan \u2014 and it is likely the very reason she settled!<\/p>\n

As Perezcious readers know, Blake\u2019s It Ends With Us<\/em> lawsuit against Justin Baldoni<\/strong> was wrapp<\/a>ed up just weeks before they were supposed to go to trial. It was a strategic move that likely saved her reputation from even more damage. Megan Thomas<\/strong>, a New York-based lawyer who didn\u2019t work on the case, told Radar Online<\/em> on Thursday that ending the case before trial was probably done to protect private emails and texts involving high-profile stars from leaking. She added:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOften, parties settle because they know that both sides have a strong case. \u2026 They enter into a settlement agreement to try to mitigate those concerns and not try them in the public eye.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Blake\u2019s already had enough private messages made public in this battle, including from Taylor Swift<\/strong>! She didn\u2019t need more of that!!<\/p>\n

As others have reported, too, insiders believe Ryan Reynolds<\/strong> was the driving force of the settlement, one explained:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cRyan saw the full picture early. He knew the longer this dragged on, the more it would erode everything \u2014 her career, her reputation, even their closest relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now, the Gossip Girl<\/em> star has the challenging task of returning to the spotlight and convincing others to work with her again. She\u2019s already stepped out a few times, including at the Met Gala<\/strong> on the day of her settlement news<\/a>. Trying to act like nothing\u2019s happened, clearly!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s hard to know how Hollywood will or won\u2019t react to her these days, but one industry exec thinks she has a better chance of bouncing back than Baldoni:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLively and Baldoni both did major damage, but because she\u2019s so established, I think she stands a chance of reemerging better than he does. I would struggle to hire both of them \u2014 but I would gamble on her.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As for how she plans to rewrite her narrative, sources told Rob Shuter<\/strong>\u2018s Naughty But Nice<\/em> Substack<\/strong> that Blake\u2019s been selectively attending intimate and controlled events with approved photographers and limited press only. She doesn\u2019t want to have to deal with any unexpected questions! One source explained:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cBlake knows exactly how powerful a perfect photograph can be. A stunning image creates conversation without creating risk. Photos don\u2019t ask difficult follow-ups.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This was very obvious at the Met Gala, where she posed for pictures and did a few casual interviews that lacked hard-hitting questions, another source shared:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe mission is very deliberate. They want audiences talking about how incredible she looks, not revisiting old narratives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

According to her friends, the actress believes public opinion in the industry changes rapidly \u2014 and it helps when stars can flood feeds with viral moments and a curated public image. But this plan may not win over everyone, a source speculated:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere are executives and publicists who still think Blake has an authenticity problem. Looking flawless helps, but eventually audiences want to hear something real too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, authenticity has never been her thing\u2026 And it doesn\u2019t help that resurfaced footage keeps coming out that makes her look worse and worse! With that in mind, the insider added:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cRight now, silence is part of the strategy. Blake is letting the visuals speak for her.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Welp. We\u2019ll see how long it takes for her to rebound!<\/p>\n

Who do you have your money on \u2014 will Justin or Blake bounce back first?! Let us know (below)!<\/p>\n
