Rumors have been swirling about the controversy between movie star and director Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, known most for her role in the 2000s teens show Gossip Girl. Many fans are speculating that Lively’s personality made it extremely difficult to make the movie, “It Ends With Us”, considering the things her co-stars have said about her and the interviews she takes part in are quite debatable.
Baldoni directed a movie called “It Ends With Us” based on the bestselling book written by Colleen Hoover. Lively starred as the main character, Lily Bloom, and Baldoni, along with directing the movie, starred one of her two main love interests, Ryle Kincaid. In this movie, Ryle’s character abuses Lily physically and mentally.
Baldoni said it was so extremely challenging for him to play the role of Ryle, especially because of how real it felt because it is hard to imagine that real life women go through that everyday, according to her interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Lively and Baldoni did not take a single photo together at the premiere. Not only that, but she has been taking pictures and interviews with other castmates, whereas Baldoni has been posing and doing his interviews alone.
Though this is suspicious, Baldoni still says in multiple interviews that Lively is a good co-star despite what everyone online is thinking.
Fans also noticed that Baldoni follows Hoover, Lively and others while they don’t follow him back. This is interesting because while the actual movie process was happening, they made cameos on each other’s instagrams more than once and were following one another back then.
Another thing that could potentially be brewing drama is that in an interview Lively told E! News that her husband, famous actor and director Ryan Reynolds, rewrote quite a few scenes for the movie. This combined with most of the press interviews and videos for “It Ends With Us” being with Reynolds instead of Baldoni is very debatable.
Brandon Sklenar, the actor who plays Atlas Corrigan in the new movie, also has spoken up many times about how Lively is off screen.
In an interview with Access Hollywood, Sklenar is asked what made it so easy to fall in love on screen. Sklenar said, “I’m just a really good actor, everything was really challenging with Blake.” Although he is speaking in a joking tone, fans are sensing some truth to his statement.
Lively has been known for her past interviews being extremely controversial too. Even though many of the “It Ends With Us” interviews are pretty bad, a lot of her past decisions also put her in a different light for everyone.
An interview from 2016 has been resurfacing all over the internet from when Lively was pregnant. To start off the interview, the journalist says “congrats on your little bump” because Lively was very open about her pregnancy at the time. Lively responds with “congrats on your little bump!” with many notes of sarcasm peeking out.
Lively continues to show no remorse for this interview and that is causing the internet to go crazy, urging an apology from the unbudging star. To make matters worse, the interviewer was infertile, so she could never get pregnant anyways.
But that’s not all. In 2014, Lively had an interview with Vogue and she was asked what the movie she laughed hardest through was. Lively said Shawshank Redemption with a straight face, which is a movie about a man murdering his wife and then living the rest of his life in prison.
Many fans are speaking out saying that Lively has always given off mean girl vibes but now because of all the fame from the new movie, it is finally coming to light.
