Time Magazine has released its list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2025. Actor Blake Lively features in the ‘Titans’ category alongside names like Ted Sarandos, Serena Williams, and Mark Zuckerberg. Blake has been in the spotlight since her 2024 film It Ends With Us, which was followed by a major lawsuit where she accused co-star Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and a smear campaign to damage her reputation.
Citation Highlights Blake’s Passion for Learning
Blake Lively’s citation for Time’s 100 Most Influential People was written by civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill. She praised Blake’s curiosity and genuine effort to understand the country’s history, which she felt was missing in her own education. Ifill called Blake a serious, bold woman committed to building a better future for all children.
Legal Battle with Justin Baldoni
Blake made headlines in December last year after accusing her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni, of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment, and launching a smear campaign to damage her reputation. Justin responded with a counter-lawsuit. Their trial is scheduled for March 2026.
Upcoming Project: Another Simple Favor
On the work front, Blake will next be seen in Another Simple Favor, a romantic comedy-drama also starring Anna Kendrick. The film, directed by Paul Feig, is a sequel to the 2018 hit A Simple Favor and is set to release on Prime Video on May 1.
