An old video from a 2017 episode of Watch What Happens Live has resurfaced, bringing back some notable moments involving Armie Hammer, Chelsea Handler, and Blake Lively. During the episode, Hammer was asked about his time on Gossip Girl, where he starred alongside Blake Lively. When asked about the biggest diva on set, Hammer diplomatically responded, “Let me just say that was a tough show to film.”
The question quickly pivoted to Hammer’s character’s romantic involvement, with the host, Andy Cohen, asking whose love interest he played on the show. Hammer named Blake Lively’s character, Serena van der Woodsen. This sparked a playful response from Handler, who jokingly remarked, “Sounds like she was the problem.”
The moment drew laughs, including from Cohen, who agreed with Handler’s tongue-in-cheek comment. However, Hammer appeared visibly uncomfortable with the conversation and tried to steer it in a different direction, denying that the remarks were his. His awkward laugh suggested that there might have been some tension during his time on the show, and Handler’s comments seemed to hint at Lively being a factor in his departure from the series.
In the wake of the ongoing drama surrounding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, social media influencer Perez Hilton shared a video that seemed to defend Baldoni’s scripts, a post that garnered attention from various celebrities, including Jimmy Kimmel, Channing Tatum, and even Taylor Momsen, another Gossip Girl alum. The resurfaced video, coupled with the recent developments in the Lively-Baldoni feud, has only added fuel to the fire.
