In case you’ve made the impeccably wise decision not to follow the celebrity drama circuit in the last month or so, Blake Lively isn’t doing so hot in the public eye at the moment. Indeed, the It Ends with Us star drew some heavy criticism after encouraging moviegoers to “wear their florals” to the Justin Baldoni-directed film, and things only escalated when journalist Kjersti Flaa called attention to her past experience with Lively in the form of a decidedly uncomfortable interview. 12722u

Attempts to defend Lively have been shot down by the public, as though one person’s bad experience with someone’s poor behavior is capable of defining the person in their entirety. And even if Lively’s good side is only reserved for other famous people, it’s entirely bonkers to think that it doesn’t exist on some level.

And according to famous person Kaitlin Olson, who shores up the cast of the Emmy-winning comedy series Hacks, she would happily invite the company of Lively again after having met her on two separate occasions through Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds, who works closely with Olson’s husband, Rob McElhenney on their Wrexham A.F.C.-related ventures. Per Us:

I’ve met Blake twice, I would love to hang out with them both more often. I love Ryan.

To summarize, Blake Lively has a friend in Kaitlin Olson, was kind of a dirtbag towards Kjersti Flaa, interpreted her movie in a way that a lot of people didn’t agree with, and the Earth has never continued spinning more casually.

I’ve no interest in defending Lively’s poor behavior towards Kjersti with examples of endorsements from other people; I, probably like you, do not know Lively personally, and am unable to judge her character in any way that matters. Naturally, I’ve just as little interest in dubbing Lively a bad person based on said poor behavior, especially considering how entirely valid her outlook on It Ends with Us actually was; Lily Bloom’s story is one of hope and joy first and foremost, and it’s precisely that hope and joy that allows the film to handle its domestic violence themes with the care that it does.

Nevertheless, Lively has made her fair share of mistakes, has yet to own up to some of them, and has treated people in an entirely disrespectful manner. In other words, Lively is a human being, and when you’re famous, the nuances of being human are held against you far more often than someone who isn’t famous. Her being crappy is no more worthy of our emotions than anyone being crappy.

Whatever bad history Lively has with other people is the business of her and those other people, and if you have trouble sleeping at night knowing what Lively has done, maybe you should reconsider putting so much stock into celebrities who don’t know who you are.

Despite her job security for the past 2 decades, Kaitlin Olson somehow had time to devote to another series. The It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia star also fronted a Fox comedy called, The Mick.

Premiering in 2017, the series followed Mickey (Olson), who doesn’t seem so far off from her It’s Sunny character, though perhaps with only a few more morals. Mickey doesn’t want to be tied down by anyone or anything but finds herself tasked with raising her spoiled niece and nephews in the affluent area of Greenwich, CT. Despite an audience of ionate fans, Fox did what Fox typically does and canceled the series after 2 seasons.

The only silver lining of this unfortunate turn of events was that The Mick eventually found a second life on Netflix. The streaming platform obtained licensing rights to the series in 2023, streaming all 37 episodes. But does this mean that The Mick will get the third season that fans have been hoping for? Sadly this is unlikely. Olson has significant star power in the comedy scene, to be sure, but Netflix isn’t exactly known for saving television series.

Since then, the series has bounced around, eventually landing at Hulu for the time being. Olson may be content with her ongoing life as Sweet Dee in the land of FX, but that doesn’t lessen the sting of only having 2 seasons of content for the underrated series. For now, fans will have to make do with the episodes they have.

When you think of TV power couples one of the first that should come to mind are It’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia stars Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney. However, a recent rumor suggests that perhaps their relationship is on the rocks. It’s looking like that rumor is false.

The gossip circulating the net today suggested that McElhenney had cheated on his wife and co-star while in Wales, however, Olson was quick to respond and shut down the claim.

Olson joked that she’d been the one that cheated, although it wasn’t a woman in Wales, it was quite literally a whale. in a post to social media, Olson asked for privacy while she and McElhenney navigate the ‘difficult time.’

Further casting doubt on the internet rumor, McElhenney shared Olson’s post doubling down on her clarity, explaining that some of the details of the rumor were incorrect.

While it’s impossible for us to know for certain, given this response we can confidently say the rumors aren’t true, which I’m sure is welcome news for all of your Always Sunny fans as season 16 continues to roar through.

McElhenney plays Mac on the show alongside Olson who stars as Dee. The pair have been married since 2008 and have two children aged 11 and 12 together.

It’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia has been going strong since 2005, this year airing its 16th season. The FX show airs new episodes each week through July available to stream on Hulu. If you’re not caught up, have no fear as all of the previous episodes are also right there to binge on the streamer.
