The Hollywood drama began last December when Lively filed a sexual harassment suit against Baldoni. The actor-director then countersued her and husband Ryan Reynolds for $400 million in a defamation case, also naming their PR team.

Despite the legal storm, Blake’s doughnut detour reminded fans of her down-to-earth charm — a slice of joy amidst the chaos.
