Many are talking about the recent tension between Alexa Nikolas and Blake Lively on Instagram. The situation, which involves a series of posts and pointed accusations, has stirred up significant discussion online, especially among fans of both stars.
But, what exactly happened between Alexa Nikolas and Blake Lively, and why is it causing such a stir? Find all the key details and context here.
Alexa Nikolas calls out Blake Lively on her Instagram
Alexa Nikolas, a former Nickelodeon star from Zoey 101, recently criticized Blake Lively on Instagram. She condemned the use of a song by Mike Milosh, whom she accuses of abuse, in the soundtrack for the film It Ends With Us.
Nikolas expressed her deep disappointment with Lively and the film’s producers. She accused them of ignoring her allegations against Milosh, which include grooming and sexual abuse starting when she was 16. Milosh’s song Hymn, released under the name Rhye, has faced significant criticism after its inclusion in the movie’s soundtrack.
Nikolas had previously sued Milosh in 2021, alleging that he groomed and abused her throughout their relationship, which began when she was a minor. The lawsuit detailed a series of alleged abuses, including forced sexual acts and emotional manipulation.
Although Nikolas later dropped the lawsuit, Milosh denied the allegations, labeling them as “outrageously false” and even countersued for defamation (via The Guardian). Both legal cases were eventually dismissed. However, the controversy surrounding their relationship and the inclusion of Milosh’s music in the film has reignited public scrutiny.
Blake Lively, who stars in and produced It Ends With Us, has yet to publicly respond to Nikolas’ criticism. This incident has further complicated the troubled rollout of It Ends With Us. The film has already faced multiple controversies and has put Blake Lively and the production team under significant public examination.
