00:00So, did Leighton Meester just confirm she doesn't talk to Blake Lively?
00:05We all love to imagine that our favorite TV casts stay as close off screen as they were on,
00:10but at the end of the day, it's still a job, and most people don't stay in touch with coworkers from a decade ago.
00:16That seems to be the case for Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester,
00:19who recently opened up about which of her former castmates she still talks to.
00:23Her comments quickly sparked speculation online, with many fans convinced one particular name,
00:28Blake Lively, wasn't on that list.
00:31During an appearance on the world's first podcast,
00:34Leighton Meester revealed which Gossip Girl cast members she still keeps in touch with.
00:38Amanda Settin, who played Penelope.
00:41She was on the show, and she lives here in LA, Leighton says.
00:45I just love her. She's a very, very dear friend.
00:49These women in particular, just kind of like, we were always together.
00:53That and Zuzanna Shadkovsky, who played Dorota.
00:57She is such a dear friend.
00:59I keep in touch with quite a few people.
01:01And then I'll see other people from time to time, but not as regularly.
01:05It's a heartfelt update, especially given Blair and Dorota's close bond on the show,
01:10but not everyone saw it that way.
01:12Some viewers felt the moment came off as a bit patronizing,
01:16with comments suggesting it seemed more like an attempt to mock than to celebrate their friendship.
01:21Others pointed out that even praise about Leighton and Zuzanna's bond carried a subtly condescending tone,
01:27as if their closeness needed to be justified.
01:30Viewers also pointed out the fact that Leighton didn't mention Blake Lively's name,
01:34even after the hosts prompted her to confirm she didn't keep up with everybody.
01:38Leighton and Blake played on-screen frenemies Blair and Serena throughout the run of the show,
01:42arguably the most iconic frenemies of all time.
01:45And after Blake Lively's It Ends With Us drama turned into a real-life legal battle and public backlash,
01:51it seems like everyone wants to know what her co-stars think of her.
01:54Just ask the question you wanted to.
01:57Another viewer commented,
01:59Just ask if she still talks to Blake.
02:01That's what everyone wants to know.
02:03So are Blake Lively and Leighton still friends?
02:06We haven't gotten an official update from either actress,
02:09but for now, it appears the internet has decided it's basically saying she's not friends with Blake Lively
02:14and that's the tea.
