The It Ends With Us cast and crew are embroiled in an alleged feud, according to multiple reports. It all started when TikTok users noticed that film star Blake Lively and her co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, didn’t pose for pictures together at the August 6 New York City premiere. Shortly thereafter, reports surfaced online claiming that the cast has distanced themselves from Justin. More fuel was added to the fire when Justin reportedly hired a crisis PR manager as speculation over his alleged rift with Blake escalated.
Neither Blake nor Justin has publicly addressed any of the rumors.
News47.us is breaking down the alleged drama, below.
On August 14, TMZ reported that there was discomfort between Blake and Justin while filming a kissing scene. Insiders told the outlet that the A Simple Favor actress felt that the director “lingered” too long while kissing her on camera.
Sources also told the outlet that Blake felt “fat-shamed” by Justin while working on a scene in which his character, Ryle, lifts her character, Lilly, into the air. Justin reportedly has a history of back issues, and after he allegedly asked an on-set trainer how much Blake weighed, she felt that he was fat-shaming her, according to the outlet.
Page Six reported on August 14 that an eyewitness recalled “tension” visible in Blake on the set of It Ends With Us.
“The tension was so obvious,” the source told the outlet. “Once [Blake] was done with the scene, she was really impatient, said, ‘Am I done? Can I go?’ and as soon as they said, ‘Yes,’ there was like a Blake-size hole in the wall [sic]. She was so outta there.”
