Blake Lively’s It Ends With Us is the second biggest movie in America, but it’s the conflict surrounding the film — not the film itself — that everyone’s talking about.
Apparently, Lively and her co-stars are feuding with lead and director Justin Baldoni. Baldoni and Lively reportedly didn’t get along, and he allegedly “fat-shamed” her by asking someone how much Lively weighed — a scene involving the two requires he pick her up and he was afraid of hurting his back. And according to whispers, he didn’t very much enjoy Lively inviting her husband Ryan Reynolds on set to direct some scenes.

Hello, just to clarify what I meant when I said white women are “targeted” online because clearly I didn’t word it the best, I meant that criticism toward their “downfalls” is more likely to be made into internet trending content, whether it’s justified or not. Obviously there are other groups of people whose harassment online is much more insidious and harmful, clearly I didn’t word that the best.

On a less serious note not enough of u are acknowledging Miku toxic gossip train at the end how dare u

Seems like a lot of controversy about a very medicore movie based on a mediocre book that is not worth all the attention.

As a girly with back issues, I see no problem with asking how to safely lift someone for a scene. Back pain is debilitating

I think the reason it’s continued to get messy is because Blake doesn’t know how to be humble about this film and people are annoyed with the marketing. Why make a film about a character in an abusive relationship if you’re not going to mention DV in the marketing? Are they afraid that that will keep moviegoers away? Because I had no interest in seeing this before and I have no interest in seeing it now, not even if it becomes available with streaming. Also, the more people have spoken about the other books and experiences with the author, the less I want to support anything associated with her.

I think something almost nobody has mentioned is that Ryan Reynolds rewriting the rooftop scene is in direct violation to the WGA striking conditions of the time. Production was during the WGA strikes, and scripts that were being shot during this time had to be locked and not revised whatsoever. Christy Hall, the screenwriter, says she had no idea about this, so that also signifies Ryan rewrote it during the strike. That is a HUGE slap in the face to the hundreds of thousands of writers striking to receive fair pay and job security. It’s honestly absolutely heinous.

Really? They thought the Colleen Hoover adaptation would get her an Oscar nomination?

[trinaq]

It's ironic that Justin Baldoni, the director who also played the abuser, understands the subject matter of domestic abuse more than Blake Lively, who played the victim, and Colleen Hoover, the writer.

[M-scbc]

In what world would Justin baldoni choose to take on two of the most powerful people in Hollywood just to “smear” Blake lively. IMO he is clearly playing defense up against a couple with a ton of pull and influence in that circle.

the way u predicted ryan n blake downfall is crazy

[I_AM_ANDJEL]

Clicked faster than Blake responded to that reporter with "Congrats on YOUR bump"

[danyelldoesnot]

"Wear your overalls because it's over" is the funniest thing I have ever heard.

[uhsaywhatnow]

In no world should a movie based on a Colleen Hoover book win anything beyond a Razzy. Woof.

[frozenweevil]

why do people assume there’s some grand villainy rather than just assuming people just don’t get along very well

[ThatLizHunter]

That PR firm also was hired by the teenager who took the video of George Floyd’s death - i wouldn’t use their most famous client as a reason to say they’re always on the wrong side

[niziangely]

She was promoting that movie as it if was barbie

[nad]

She felt fat shamed ? He did not ask her directly he asked her personal coach before a scene in which he was supposed to lift her up, now she says she felt that a kiss was lingering too much but he literally hired an intimacy coordinator who was on set all the time, I saw a behind the scene footage where they were kissing he was literally asking her where to put his hands while kissing her and said several times during press tour that he would let Blake lead the intimate scenes … so why is it coming out now all of a sudden when everybody is turning against her for her poor handling of the promotion ? That all thing is weird just like the fact that she hired the editor of Deadpool x Wolverine to do her own cut of the movie behind Justin’s back and presented it for test screenings ( but Justin’s cut was selected instead ) why kind of actor does that to the director who hired them ? I guess that’s why he says now that BL should direct the next movie. She tagged all the crew in her posts except Baldoni, it’s just as unprofessional as her way to promote the movie ( while promoting her husband, her hair care line, and Deadpool )

[AlexandreFilho]

Baldoni has every right to hire a PR crisis team. It must be FRIGHTENING to be in his situation.

[tricky-vixen]

I’m just gonna chime in to say that Justin Baldoni has demonstrably done a lot of work to combat toxic masculinity and so I’m at least inclined to believe his sincerity about the movie. It would be a shame to lose such advocacy in media, whether because of a petty squabble or turning out to be problematic.

[iphotons]

As a DV survivor, all I know is that one of these people is showing women like me compassion in promoting this movie, and the other one is making fun of us by telling us to wear florals and use special hair products while we go get triggered by this nonsense. Team Justin and I don't care if this means I'm falling for PR. Impact versus intent. This is the impact made on me.

3:25 I'm sorry they wanted Blake to win an Oscar from this? 💀Do they know what Oscar-worthy performances look like?
