Alleged Rivalry Between Blake Lively and Margot Robbie Has Forced A-listers “to pick sides” After Former Lost a Coveted Role Against the ‘Barbie’ Star (Report)
- Blake Lively and Margot Robbie are reportedly in a heated Hollywood feud.
- The alleged rivalry dates back to Robbie's casting in 'The Wolf of Wall Street.'
- Today, A-listers are caught in the middle, choosing sides between the two.
Hollywood isn’t just about glitz and glamour; sometimes, it can be a fierce arena. Imagine two power couples, each a major player, locked in a heated rivalry that’s turning Tinseltown into a game of ‘Pick a Side.’
On one end, we have Margot Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, riding high on the success of their production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, and their blockbuster hit Barbie.
On the other side, there’s Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds—a duo whose combined star power and business savvy, with their own production company Maximum Effort Productions, have made them major players in their own right.
The crux of the matter? An alleged fierce competition that goes beyond mere professional rivalry, simmering with old wounds and ambition. What began as a simple role dispute has escalated into a full-blown Hollywood drama.
Alleged Decade-Old Feud Between Margot Robbie and Blake Lively
According to Life & Style magazine, the roots of this Hollywood feud can be traced back to a casting decision made more than a decade ago. Margot Robbie, then a relatively unknown Australian actress, snagged a pivotal role in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street.
At the time, Blake Lively was a rising star, known for her role in Gossip Girl, and many thought she would be a shoe-in for the role. As an insider told the outlet:
Most people around Margot and Tom believe this all comes from Margot beating out Blake for the star-making female lead role in The Wolf of Wall Street more than ten years ago.
The tipster added:
They were both TV stars at the time but Blake was by far the more famous of the two of them at the time and Margot’s casting was kind of a shocking coup. After that Margot was a household name. Blake had to marry Ryan Reynolds to become remotely as famous as Margot!
Robbie’s breakthrough led to major projects and awards, while Lively’s ascent to the top took a bit more time. The story grows more complex as past rivalries and new ambitions continue to shape Hollywood’s elite.
Fast forward to today, and the rivalry between the two stars is reportedly causing quite a stir among A-listers. According to the same source, it’s becoming nearly impossible to be friends with both couples, “and it’s really forcing a lot of A-listers to pick sides.” It’s like a Hollywood tug-of-war that’s pulling in everyone!
Hollywood’s Social Scene Heats Up With Ambition
Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley are making waves as a dynamic duo with their company, LuckyChap Entertainment. Robbie won everyone’s respect with Barbie and made friends with big names like Jessica Chastain, who’s known for being super selective about her social circle. But—Robbie isn’t picky at all.
She’s more like the social butterfly of Hollywood, happily fluttering around and making friends with everyone. Take Olivia Wilde, for example. Despite Wilde’s current ‘movie jail’ status after the Don’t Worry Darling fiasco, Maggot is sticking by her.
Conversely, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are keeping their plates full, juggling movies, business deals, and Taylor Swift’s friendship. The Deadpool star and his wife have been in full hustle mode with his own company, Maximum Effort Productions, pushing his new flick, Deadpool & Wolverine, alongside Hugh Jackman.
Lively was spotted with Gigi Hadid at the Deadpool 3 premiere, proving she’s pals with the supermodel, too. And that’s not all—Lively is also a cute celebrity mom of four, and she’s everywhere online!
While her husband is busy making waves with Aviation Gin and Mint Mobile, Lively isn’t just sitting back. In 2021, she made her mark with Betty Buzz, a collection of non-alcoholic drink mixers. And guess what? According to Lifestyle Asia, in less than seven months, they sold 2.5 million bottles without a single ad campaign.
But the 37-year-old isn’t done yet. With the premiere of It Ends With Us hitting the screens, she had another ace up her sleeve: a shiny new haircare line called Blake Brown Beauty. Lively has definitely got the recipe for success. So, yes, both actresses are thriving in Tinseltown in their own ways. As it stands, the friction between them is undoubtedly palpable.
