Blake Lively says goodbye to her 'Gossip Girl' co-star Michelle Trachtenberg with an emotional message

In recent months, Blake Lively has had very few reasons to smile due to the legal dispute she has been involved in for months with Justin Baldoni, director and co-star of the film 'It Ends With Us', whom she sued for sexual harassment in mid-December.

Life and death don't stop Blake Lively from smiling

Now, the famous 'Gossip Girl' actress and close friend of Taylor Swift, is once again mourning a sad event in her life with the death last Wednesday of Michelle Trachtenberg, an actress with whom she participated in the famous series that made them both famous and for which she has fond memories, which she shared with her followers on Instagram.

"This is the first day I met Michelle," the actress wrote in her Stories, illustrating the comment with a photo of herself with Trachtenberg, who had undergone a liver transplant months earlier, and was found dead in her New York apartment after suffering cardiac arrest at the age of 39.

Lively's sensitive words to her friend

In the message, you can also read a compliment to her former co-star: "She was electricity. You knew when she walked into a room because the vibe changed. Everything she did, she did 200% (...) she would laugh out loud at someone's jokes, stand up to authority head on when she felt something was wrong, care deeply about her work, be proud to be part of this community and industry no matter how painful it could be at times," said a heartbroken Lively.

Trachtenberg was "fiercely loyal to her friends and brave for those she loved," said Ryan Reynolds' wife, who also reflected on life in the face of her painful loss: "Time es. You take for granted that you have the chance to see an old friend. To paraphrase, the true tragedies in life are the ones that surprise you on a leisurely Tuesday. The world lost a deeply sensitive and good person in Michelle. May her work and her huge heart be ed by those who were lucky enough to experience her fire."
