Blake Lively is facing criticism from Game of Thrones fans after she compared herself to Daenerys Targaryen in a text message amid her legal battle with director Justin Baldoni. Fans mocked her, highlighting Daenerys' tragic fate. The backlash intensified after Lively's message was revealed in Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against her. Social media users shared memes and comments, reminding her that Daenerys does not succeed in the end, drawing parallels to Lively's current situation. Lively's legal issues include allegations of defamation and sexual harassment against Baldoni.
