Actress Michelle Trachtenberg is hitting out in response to an Instagram comment left by a teen fan about her former Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively. Both women appeared on the wildly popular CW show, which has experienced a Gen Z resurgence in recent years thanks to Netflix.
![['It takes a lot of strength to see through all the b*lls**t. And some dark sunglasses,' Michelle Trachtenberg commented the above Instagram post]](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2025/01/17/16/94217027-14296855-image-m-6_1737129628908.jpg)
Blake, 37, starred as socialite Serena van der Woodsen and Michelle, 39, played mean girl Georgina Sparks. When Audrey Long, 18, left a comment on Michelle's Instagram page about her former co-star Blake, she thought it was both innocent and complimentary - and she didn't expect the response she'd receive in return.

Blake is currently embroiled in a lawsuit against her former It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni and is accusing him of using 'abuser playbook' in his $400 million lawsuit against her and husband Ryan Reynolds. Audrey, who runs a Gossip Girl fan account that re-sells clothing featured on the hit 2000s TV show, has been supporting Blake amid the ongoing lawsuit.

Audrey commented, 'Would love to see you release a statement on the Blake drama,' alongside a heart emoji. 'Or idk if this is a direct statement?' she asked, referring to the post, which was a picture of Michelle captioned, 'It takes a lot of strength to see through all the b*lls**t. And some dark sunglasses.'.
