Blake Lively Apologizes for Mocking Kate Middleton Who Got Diagnosed with Cancer ... "I'm Mortified"

 

Blake Lively has apologized for mocking the news of Kate Middleton's battle with cancer, which she referred to as a "Photoshop fail."

On the 22nd (local time), Blake Lively posted on her SNS, "I'm sure no one cares today but I feel like I have to acknowledge this. I made a silly post around the "photoshop fails" frenzy, and oh man, that post has me mortified today. I'm sorry."

Recently, in honor of Mother's Day, the UK royal family released photos of Kate Middleton and her three children, which raised suspicions of being edited with Photoshop. The royal family acknowledged this fact and withdrew the photos.

On this day, overseas media outlets reported that Kate Middleton had been diagnosed with cancer. Kate Middleton stated via SNS, "I underwent significant abdominal surgery in London in January, which was considered non-cancerous. The surgery was successful, but cancer was found in postoperative tests." She continued, "The medical team recommended preventive chemotherapy, and I am currently in the early stages of that treatment."

Kate Middleton underwent abdominal surgery at a London hospital in January and was hospitalized for about two weeks, after which she did not appear in public.

Born in 1987, Blake Lively began her acting career in 1998. She gained fame for her role in the American drama "Gossip Girl," which also made her well-known in Korea. She married actor Ryan Reynolds in 2012.
