Blake’s latest red carpet outing comes shortly after she was embroiled in It Ends With Us drama and ‘bullying’ accusations.
A source told DailyMail.com that she is, ‘definitely saddened by the hate she is getting and is trying not to let it affect her but it is.’
‘She thought this was her moment to shine but is now looking at it like the end of her career. She’s fearing no one will want to work with her after this.’
The insider added, ‘She really wants to continue producing and directing and acting but she knows she needs to take a step back for a minute to reassess the future.’
A separate source informed People, ‘She initially felt very vulnerable and upset. During the promotion of the movie, not one day went by when she was not in the news in an unfavorable light. She’s just not used to this kind of drama.’
While the drama ‘felt out of control to her,’ Lively still ‘enjoys working and will continue to push forward projects that she’s excited about.’
