Blake Lively, the renowned actress currently involved in a legal dispute with her It Ends with Us co-star Justin Baldoni, is now facing accusations of exhibiting “paranoid” behavior following a strange encounter with a fan in Texas.
The incident occurred at The Hotel 1928 in Waco on March 8, when a Houston resident, Kaitlyn Cooper, claimed that Lively followed her to her car after a brief sighting at the hotel. Cooper described a series of increasingly bizarre interactions with the actress, which left her feeling uncomfortable and uneasy.
The Odd Encounter at the Hotel
Cooper was visiting the hotel with her mother when staff mentioned a high-profile guest was staying there. After enjoying a meal at the hotel restaurant, a server allegedly revealed that the VIP guest was Blake Lively. Later that evening, Cooper said she spotted Lively in the hotel lobby and began quietly filming her to share the moment with her friends.
“She looked at us. I believe she spotted us [filming her],” Cooper told DailyMail.
However, things took an unexpected turn the following morning. While loading her car, Cooper claimed that Lively approached her with her phone raised, as though she were recording her.
“I looked up and saw [Lively] with her phone up. Out of instinct, I just said ‘hi’ back, because what do you say?” Cooper recalled. “She circled my car and aimed the camera toward the license plate,” she continued.
Strange Behavior Leads to Paranoia Claims
Cooper’s description of the encounter has raised concerns about Lively’s behavior. Some have suggested that the actress might have acted out of paranoia, believing she was being filmed in an intrusive manner. The series of events has led to accusations that Lively may have felt threatened or uncomfortable, reacting in a way that seemed excessive to those involved.
Lively’s Recent Projects
This strange incident comes at a time when Blake Lively has just finished promoting her sequel Another Simple Favor at the SXSW festival. Despite this unusual encounter, Lively continues to focus on her career and upcoming projects, though the Texas incident has caught the public’s attention.
As more details emerge about this encounter, fans are left to speculate about what might have led to the actress’s unexpected behavior. Whether this was a momentary lapse or a sign of deeper concerns, the incident certainly adds a new layer of intrigue to Lively’s ongoing public persona.
