Blake Lively Addresses Plantation Wedding Backlash in Deposition, Reiterates Apology
Blake Lively confronted backlash over her 2012 wedding at Boone Hall, a former slave plantation, during a deposition for the It Ends With Us project, saying the negative press was deserved and that she and Ryan Reynolds have publicly apologized and donated $200,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Reynolds had previously spoken about the regret. The deposition touched on media backlash during the Black Lives Matter era, and unsealed texts involving Taylor Swift were also referenced in recent court documents.
