Another member of the "Gossip Girl" cast, Armie Hammer, who portrayed Gabriel Edwards, Serena van der Woodsen's brief love interest in Season 2, openly revealed his less-than-favorable experience working on the hit series, particularly citing issues with Blake Lively. During his appearance on "Watch What Happens Live: After Show" in 2017, when asked about the biggest diva on the set, Hammer initially hesitated to answer. However, with encouragement from host Andy Cohen and comedian Chelsea Handler, he shared, "Let me just say, that was a tough show to film, and I didn't end up actually filming all of the episodes I was supposed to because it was such a tough filming." He also implied that someone on the set wanted him fired from the series.
After reminding Cohen that he was Lively's potential beau in the few episodes he did film, Handler jokingly suggested that Lively might've been the source of the problem. While Hammer responded with, "No, no, that's not what I'm saying," he also made a very telling face as if he were implying the exact opposite.
Additionally, according to the popular Instagram gossip account DeuxMoi, Hammer allegedly referred to Lively as "a b**** in front of a ton of people" on the set of "Gossip Girl" (via Distractify). The insult is more likely to have led to his departure from the show than Lively's whim.
