New York, March 15, 2025 – Social media influencer and actress Blake Lively is facing renewed scrutiny after a post by Melanie King on X, dated March 15, 2025, at 7:53 AM EDT, suggested that her Instagram follower count may be inflated by bots. The post, which includes a screenshot of Lively’s Instagram profile showing followers, alleges that “PR bots” are mass-following the actress to artificially boost her numbers and counter recent losses tied to the ongoing legal battle with co-star Justin Baldoni.

So it looks like the pr bots are mass following Blake Lively to boost her follower count and troll content creators. She’s lost over a million since the Justin Baldoni case but suddenly all these “ very legitimate and definitely real people” accounts are following her overnight… pic.twitter.com/aPfv5Zdjc0

King’s post claims Lively lost over a million followers since the controversy surrounding Baldoni, linked to their film It Ends With Us. However, she asserts that a sudden surge of “very legitimate and definitely real people” accounts following Lively overnight raises suspicions of manipulation. The post, accompanied by laughing emojis, sarcastically critiques the notion that these new followers are genuine, suggesting a coordinated effort to restore Lively’s public image amid the fallout from the lawsuit, which involves allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation.

The controversy ties into broader discussions about social media authenticity, as web reports highlight the prevalence of bots in inflating follower counts for celebrities and influencers. A 2025 Vulture article detailed Lively’s legal battle with Baldoni, noting damage to her reputation, while other sources, like USC Annenberg, have documented the use of PR bots to manipulate online presence in public relations campaigns.

Fans and critics on X have mixed reactions, with some agreeing the follower surge seems suspicious, while others defend Lively, citing her celebrity status. The debate underscores growing concerns about transparency on platforms like Instagram, where tools to detect fake followers, such as those from Inbeat.co, are increasingly relevant. As the story unfolds, Lively’s digital footprint remains under the microscope.
