In an effort to restore her image, Blake Lively recently interacted with fans by handing out baked goods at her friend’s café, Rise Doughnuts, in Wilton, Connecticut. However, after meeting the actress, some witnesses accused her of disregarding sanitation rules. While near food, particularly donuts, Lively had her hair down, despite guidelines that require either tying it back or wearing a hairnet.
Photos from the event sparked an uproar online, with many users questioning, “Why isn’t her hair tied back?” Some even joked, “Donuts with hair?” and stated, “She shouldn’t be in the kitchen!”
Podcast host Zak Peter suggested that Blake’s hair choice could have been a deliberate PR stunt, crafted to make her appear calm and collected amid her ongoing legal drama with Justin Baldoni.
An insider confirmed that the event was aimed at helping Blake repair her reputation after the public dispute with her All I See Is You co-star, with the actress and her team seeing it as a way to reconnect with fans by showcasing her caring side. Despite the controversy, the plan may have missed the mark.
