Is Blake Lively a Nepo baby?

Is Blake Lively a nepo baby? Ugh, that’s a tough one, isn’t it? The whole “working-class” label thrown around with her name… it just rubs me the wrong way. Seriously, it stings. I mean, her family’s in Hollywood, right? It’s not like she was, you know, actually struggling to get by, waiting tables while auditioning. Maybe “working-class” is relative, I get that. But still. It feels… minimizing. It makes light of the real struggles people face, the ones who bust their butts, taking any job they can find just to pay for headshots and acting classes. You know, the ones who are actually scraping by.

My cousin, for example, spent years working three jobs— waitress, dog walker, and then some weird gig doing online surveys—all while trying to make it as a musician. She’s incredibly talented, unbelievably dedicated, but she’s still waiting for her big break. And it makes you wonder, doesn’t it? How many incredibly talented people are out there, just as talented as Blake Lively, if not more so, who never get a shot because they didn’t have a famous parent to open doors for them? It’s infuriating, really. It’s not that I think Blake Lively didn’t work hard—but let’s be real, having that built-in network has gotta help, you know? It’s a huge advantage. So yeah, I’d say… nepo baby? Probably.
