Throughout its six-season run, Gossip Girl was filled with backstabbing, betrayals, and fake friends. And apparently, its central friendship was fraught both on the show and in real life. Right from the beginning, Gossip Girl sets up an intense rivalry between Upper East Side princess Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) and her beautiful, troubled best friend Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively), with the two constantly fighting and making up over Blair's conniving nature and Serena's effortless popularity.
Though Blair and Serena love each other no matter what, this apparently wasn't true for Meester and Lively. During the show's run, rumors swirled about tensions between the two actresses, and ultimately, showrunner Joshua Safran dished on Lively and Meester's relationship ten years after the show's premiere in a Vanity Fair retrospective. As Safran said, "Blake and Leighton were not friends. They were friendly, but they were not friends like Serena and Blair. Yet the second they'd be on set together, it's as if they were."
Apparently, the two were just different — Lively was much more outgoing, and Meester was shy on set — but tensions may have increased when Lively began to outshine Meester in real life. When Lively appeared on the cover of Vogue, Safran remembers thinking, "Oh my god, this is ... Blair's nightmare. It really felt like life imitating art." Years after Gossip Girl's run, fans are left wondering how much off-set drama between Meester and Lively made it into the show itself.
