Daily Mail Trying to Pivot Gullible Selena Fans Against Blake Lively
Take, for example, a 2016 interview with Selena Gomez in Elle, where she gushed over Blake Lively’s hair and casually mentioned they hadn’t met yet but that she’d love to be friends. Normal, right? Well, according to the tabloids, this was apparently code for “I can’t stand her”. Because obviously, when a woman says something nice about another woman, it must mean the opposite.
More recently, the rumor mill started churning out claims that Taylor Swift’s involvement in Blake Lively’s legal matters has created tension between them. But sources close to Swift have basically rolled their eyes and said, “Nope, still friends. Move along.”
Justin's PR is flipping the board and scattering the pieces while screaming about "cancellations" and "victimhood." The Daily Mail is operating like a well-oiled outrage machine, churning out multiple Baldoni puff pieces a day while conveniently smearing Blake Lively with suspiciously timed hit pieces.
I even saw a new Reddit discussion on DM's subreddit just now, starting a discussion on Blake's list of victims with a screenshot of this lame propaganda piece.
And let's talk about Melissa Nathan, the crisis PR guru hired in Feb 2024, only weeks after Blake's sexual harassment complaint agreement was signed by BlahDon'tNi in January 2024, and she just happens to have a sister, Sara Nathan, who’s been a longtime writer for the Daily Mail, since the year 2010. What a totally normal and not-at-all shady coincidence! But wait—Melissa also claimed in texts that the Daily Mail's editor is her friend. This isn’t just a game of six degrees of separation; this is a direct pipeline from a crisis PR team to a media outlet notorious for its subtlety (sarcasm very much intended).
Then there’s Alison Boshoff, another Daily Mail staple who’s been pumping out anti-Blake and pro-Baldoni content like it's her life’s mission. Would love to see her deposed—just imagine her explaining how “objective journalism” means writing coordinated hit pieces that magically disappear from Google search results when someone points out their bias.
And speaking of disappearing acts, let’s talk about the Daily Mail's audience engagement. The comment sections are like a case study in astroturfing—bot-driven ‘likes’ massively outpacing actual discussion. Five comments get posted, and suddenly they’ve got hundreds of upvotes in minutes? That’s not just organic engagement; that’s PR-backed social engineering. Some of these accounts are clearly paid shills, some are bots, and some… well, let’s just say the internet has no shortage of people who really need a hobby that isn’t forming mob mentalities over celebrity gossip.
And let’s not forget the August timeline—right as Blake Lively starts getting dragged, we get conveniently resurfaced "controversies" about her past. Classic smear campaign tactics. Meanwhile, TikTok creators like Bohemian Diva are pushing blatant disinformation, conveniently reinforcing the Daily Mail’s narrative. She’s either a willing participant or just a pawn in the bigger game—either way, she's doing the patriarchy’s work for free. Embarrassing.
Bottom line: This isn’t journalism, and it’s not just "celebrity drama." It’s a carefully coordinated PR operation with obvious connections, bad-faith actors, and a manufactured backlash. And the Daily Mail is at the center of it all—because, of course, it is.
