Blake Lively’s Sister Robyn Breaks Silence on Actress’ Speech About Past Attack on Mom Amid Justin Baldoni Feud

by

Robyn Lively, Blake Lively’s sister, openly shared her thoughts about Blake’s Time100 Gala speech in an interview with People magazine at the iHeartRadio’s 102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango event in California on May 10. This conversation took place amidst Blake’s ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni.

Robyn conveyed to the media that she felt “extremely proud” of her sister, saying, “[I am] extremely proud. I just wanted to let you know, extremely proud.

As a devoted spouse, I’m thrilled to share that my husband, Bart Johnson, who’s also an actor, expressed his pride in Blake. He mentioned to the press, “Navigating such challenges makes us extra proud.” To put it mildly, we’re beyond proud of him.

Blake’s Time 100 Gala address stirred significant debate, particularly when she discussed her mother, Willie Elaine McAlpin, and her survival of a workplace assault at the hands of a colleague. This topic in the speech drew sharp criticism from many online users, as reported by the Daily Mail.

In her address, it’s said that the actress from The Age of Adaline chose not to reveal many details about the past two years of her life, as this wasn’t the appropriate setting for such disclosure.

The Green Lantern star, Blake, mentioned that her mother failed to receive “justice” from a coworker, who attempted to end her life when she was raising three young children many years prior to Blake’s birth. However, it was a woman discussing a similar situation on the radio that helped save her mother’s life.

The actress emphasized that a woman openly detailed her harrowing escape, noting that this empowered my mother to keep going rather than succumbing to terror and unjustified embarrassment. In essence, my mother’s life was spared thanks to a stranger whose identity she may never discover.
