Demi Moore, the A-lister of Hollywood, faced backlash for posing next to the controversial actress, Blake Lively, on the red carpet. While the internet mocked both the actress for being ‘phoney’ and ‘fake,’ the source revealed that Demi genuinely supports the ‘Gossip Girl’ actress, and the encounter was not fake.

The insider's insights

According to the Daily Mail, during the Time 100 Gala, Blake, who is currently embroiled in the sexual harassment case she filed against her ‘It Ends With Us’ co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, and Demi Moore, had an encounter on the red carpet and posed with smiles.
The insider revealed, “This was not just a fake red carpet encounter. Although Blake and Demi don't hang out, they have been in touch.” “Demi is supporting Blake, and she finds it disturbing that she is getting so much hate,” the insider added amid the speculations of Taylor Swift backing down from supporting Lively, after the actor called Swift ‘a dragon’ who would support her, no matter what.

Demi Moore supports Blake because...

‘The Substance’ actress is familiar with the sexual harassment claims getting swept under the rug before the #MeToo movement. Being the victim of sexual assault, Demi supports Blake, who has not claimed to have been sexually assaulted, as speaking out is one of the hardest things to do. In 2019, Demi stated that her mother, Virginia King, used to take her to bars to get men’s attention and that she was assaulted when she was 15 years old.

The backlash on the photos

After Blake and Demi posed at the Time 100 Gala, the netizens were appalled to see the 62-year-old actress posing with the ‘Age of Adeline’ actress. One user stated, “Demi Moore was a victim of rape. I’m sure BL knows this and having pictures taken with DM is an attempt at trying to make her own claims seem valid. It’s an attempt at credibility by way of using a true victim. I hate this for DM.” Another expressed, “All these fake Hollywood people…” A third said, “Blake’s smile is so annoying and phony. And Demi would pose with a scarecrow disguised as a human.”
