I don't understand why Blake is using It ends with us, to promote her new hair brand. Justin is at least being serious and spreading awareness about domestic violence which the book is about

[@AmyVasquez37]

Not even that she’s using the movie to promote her alcohol brand (like what this is a movie about domestic violence) they did two events mixing both things “it ends with us” and Betty booze her brand. They did the after party for it ends with us making drinks based off the characters names and an event called Betty bloom, honestly so wild

Instead, she's making sound like a romantic story, making the press tour it a fashion moment and promoting her brands. I mean, there are other ways to tie in the brands, like giving a portion of the proceeds to DV organizations. The possibilities are endless, but what she's doing is not it.

[@desireebrightly8305]

Let’s get one thing straight Blake did not have the power to fire Justin. The author did not have the power to fire justin. Justin is the Director and Blake is nothing more than egotistical producer who was overstepping boundaries over and over and over again. She clearly tried to make this whole movie and the promotion of the movie her own Blake lively show and it’s despicable because it’s overshadowing the true message of this movie. If you enjoy this movie and you respect the message it is trying to give you then you can directly thank Justin. if it was up to Blake, the movie would be just like the promotion, another RomCom with no depth and no meaning.

[@Strandlights]

Agree to disagree. My hunch is Blake and the author intend to sucker-punch the audience with their promotion style. No way actors snd producers dont care about their movies its all their time and sleep and heart. This is just two adults at work being passionate about a project. When visions differ somebody has to give in that feeling sucks but nothing worth disparaging the other about

[@gretchenmanning8348]

[@myafelicia]

The fact that Blake's camp is now trying to claim that Justin fat-shamed her because he asked his personal trainer if he was allowed to lift her for a scene and how he could spare is back (he has herniated disks and even received stem cell-therapy for the constant pain) is just so vile! And of course also 'his kiss lingered too long" while there also is proof from the set that SHE was telling him how to hold and kiss her before a kissing scene with the intimicay counsellors around them. Rumor has it that Blake and her husband want the rights of the book series to make their own sequels...

[@gretchenmanning8348]

That is so nauseating. Heard about the "fat-shaming". HER issues, not his. The guy has a legitimate physical health constraint. If you watch his videos, he and his wife are very healthy and into exercise with their family. He takes very good care of himself. The fact that he was literally controlled during every scene (particularly the physical ones) makes me feel for him even more. He was the director! The author should be ashamed for choosing celebrity over integrity...along with the other co-stars. I think Blake (and Ryan) revealed some true colors. They will be "has beens" in a year or two, and decent REAL people like Justin Baldoni will rise again. He is a very skilled actor/director. He will come out on top.

It was readable, it was OK, but it was blown up into something online that didn't exist in the pages. And even with my severe ADHD I know I would have put more effort in. I get a lot of people like easy reads that are a little more basic, but it almost felt like I was being spoon fed a concept that I was far more capable of understanding than the writing allowed, almost like reading a 'for dummies' book for a subject you are knowledgeable in. But I still can't help but feel it's almost insulting to the average reader too. I feel like chatgpt would have done better.

Stop ruining this movie, I haven't even seen it yet and now I need to forget all this BS, before I get the chance to enjoy this movie. (from Sandi)

[@JZL-hp5iz]

I feel like the issue is that Blake has always wanted to be bigger than she is. She's not a great actress her acting skills have literally been the exact same. I've seen people talk about how her acting Scott and better it hasn't watch her and gossip girl watch her in the Green lantern and watch her in any other movie that she had done afterwards and she does the exact same thing. I feel like what she's good at is really just being pretty and being married to a very likeable man. Which is where I feel like the issue comes in when it comes to her. She sees the things that her husband does and how beloved Ryan is how he can sit there and not only be in movies and shows that people genuinely like and his personality is very shining even if there are questionable shit that both of them have definitely done. but he's also charismatic enough that he was able to sit there and convince a company that didn't want to come out with a movie to not only come out with movie but allow him to come out with sequels to that movie and be the one of the main producers and directors if I'm correct and it's blowing up and has done nothing but greatness for her husband and for her technically cuz they're both making Bank off of the entire Deadpool franchise. That I feel like she now wants to do that. From every video that I have watched about this from every tik Tok that I've seen it genuinely comes off as if she tried to just take over the entire project and when that didn't work she decided to go on a smear campaign against this man. Like I find it ironic that people have pointed out that this is someone who has talked about DV and promoted people getting help for it for about 10 or so years like almost a decade this is someone who's always taking their craft very seriously and who seems to be the only person genuinely talking about what the movie is about in terms of the DV in it how people can get help talking about questions he wishes people would stop asking or once you wish people would ask like he seems to be the only one taking any of this seriously which is ironic dealing that even the author seems to be like la di da di da. Then again I've never read any of her books mainly because I've never heard of one good thing about that woman either or her son so... Cast members and people not really talking about it. I feel like that makes sense because are you really going to try and go up against Blake and her husband Ryan who have their hands in like every freaking little thing it seems in Hollywood who are super popular if they what are companies / franchises you would consider them to be the Disney of their world not only from the movies and TV shows that they've been a part of things that they've produced let's not forget about the liquor brands the hair brand now the phone service like they have so many things under their belt which means that they probably have so many people in so many high places and all over the place when it comes to not just the entertainment industry that it wouldn't be hard for them to convince others who are working with them to take their side or to say Jack schitt about anything. She definitely gives off mean girl vibes like if things don't go her way she will legitimately be like well if you don't do this I will ruin your life. I'm dealing that I don't think I've ever seen her work with people who are within the same celebrity status as her like ever really she always seems to work with people who are below her and celebrity status making it easier for her to use that or hold that over their heads.

So glad everyone is seeing what I am seeing. I think JB has done immense work in getting this movie made and as someone who has seen this, I thought it was a beautiful film. I agree with his sentiments that there are better actresses for a sequel and Blake is better placed as a director rather than the lead actress, definitely her drama takes away from the serious issues this movie addresses which only women suffering real life domestic abuse can understand. It's like holding onto anything that shows what real abuse is like, you feel like no one in the world can see or believe you because your partner appears so beautiful on the outside when he is a monster on the inside!! Blake and her husband who has nothing to do with anything should not be using this serious topic to promote themselves!!! Sad and pathetic.

he works on everything i do vice versa? is everything a family affair? i do not want to work with them if I were an actress

[@manuelaabud1249]

Even bad publicity is good publicity. If two adults have creative differences it is okay. If they approach the story from different angles, it might be just that. I personally believe that domestic violence should be taken seriously, but, maybe they are counting on the surprise effect so that people will watch it and think about it. What I would reflect on is the amount of hate towards a woman on her postpartum and the silent treatment towards a dedicated director. Both are wrong.

[@Josie-nb6go]

We could’ve had a movie that could’ve successfully show and help those in DV navigate their own journeys…. Instead we got screwed over by one of our own.

[@MyHandle4455]

How fast things change... just last weekend this movie was the toast of the town. Now anything about it is being completely eclipsed by the drama behind the scenes.

[@JocularJane]

Loved the movie. Blake and Justin played their arts well. Who cares what happened behind the scenes?

[@skm7159]

I thought it was good movie until the latter part of the movie when it started to get choppy. I was really incredulous when the ending suggested that she ended up with Atlas - she had zero chemistry with him. I imagine the sequel will be Dullsville if it focuses on their relationship.

[@mfc3553]

Blake needs to stop promoting her shit,Ryan should've never even been promoting it like it was his movie or fcking Deadpool,not every movie needs the actors to make it a fun time,it's nonsense. Justin is being throw under the bus with this whole situation when he's the one actually taking the topics seriously.

[@angelaperry8231]

That's why women stay, because they will make themselves so perfect for their victims until it happens.. again. He definitely had a vision and people took advantage of him. He seems like such a good guy. I hope to see more of his work

[@M-WG]

Blake Lively is NOT unproblematic. She’s just really pretty and doesn’t work often so we forget about her.

[@emmanuelhenne]

I think she looks quite ordinary and fake. Her eyes are cold,and her smile is mean.

[@alim-nb6wc]

Lily is in her early 20s but blake is in her late 30s so it changes the film because she wanted to be part of it

[@marleneg7794]

When a one note actress who was raised a rich girl becomes a power hungry player.

[@TheOrignalTRockz]

Sorry, but who cares what she WEARS?! It’s literally HER thing and nothing that is of ANY interest whatsoever. Leave her alone. She looks great, you don’t have to wear it. I am not sure what’s going on, but it’s all just speculation. It seems like he had any has the best intentions, he should be respected for his work and I fino it unfortunate that his cut, which had the best votes, was not chosen after all.

[@tracirogers9719]

He portrayed it perfectly!! This movie showed the conditioning that takes place and how easily it is to not know the truth of the abuse for the victim. I hope they reconcile their differences because this movie very well portrayed what i experienced and good never understand and blamed myself for many many years. Thank you to the entire cast, director and writer.

[@mom4nz610]

I hope baldoni has option for 2nd movie and just never makes it

[@Jlk6532]

One person talks about the DV is the film, the other one is selling we bullshit shampoo…people show you who they really are

[@thewebstylist]

Gee it wouldn’t be mr overcompensation Ryan causing this

[@60Airflyte]

He gives me mean girl vibes too.

[@Sam82631]

Important context about Ryan Reynolds rewriting a scene: During the writer's strike all scripts were supposed to be locked with no edits occurring. And given the timeline of the movie, Ryan would have had to rewritten the scene during the strike, which is not only dishonest and disrespectful to the actual screenplay writer but to all the writers fighting for their jobs

[@GingerSchmidt-s3x]

I won’t watch this movie because of Blake Lively’s and Parker Posey’s rude interview. Dear Ms. Lively and Ms. Posey: your mean girl interview will keep me from spending one thin dime on your little movie. Blake-are you planning on more reconstructive surgeries to improve your looks? You should definitely give that some more thought to that. Maybe they can whittle down that really big ego.

[@sunday5959]

poor Justin...

[@MissPerriwinkle]

why is she all over the media? sick of lookin at her. she seems like a drama llama....

[@debrap947]

Blake Lively seems to be a real mean girl.

[@chloehickson4]

Reports of Baldoni's alleged behavior surfaced Aug. 9, when the Daily Mail published a report alleging Baldoni was "chauvinistic" and "borderline abusive" on the set of It Ends with Us. The same day, Page Six reported Baldoni created an “extremely difficult” atmosphere behind the scenes for the entire cast. Why does everyone give him the benefit of doubt but not everyone else ? I love Justin Baldoni but even I think it’s very weird that everyone from the cast want nothing to do with him, even the other men. Maybe his behaviour was really awful during the production.

[@TheLsd76]

Used to like Blake, up until she attacked Catherine, the Princess of Wales, while she was ill. That was disgusting.

[@plz12312]

I think im just going to read the book and avoid the movie...seeing how everyone respond to this...

[@AnnaKhait7]

It was a well done movie. So, whoever influenced it… did a great job! 👏

[@carmengracepuentes7953]

Soooo glad I got the original cover ❤

[@rubytuesday5815]

Poor Justin

[@amandajensen3640]

I wonder if Ryan felt insecure about the intimacy between Justin and Blake. So her pushed himself into the film. I don't know that I will see the movie since I am a DV and child abuse survivor.

[@RhondaReid-g9q]

Probably he’s cross-eyes and beady. Justin is gorgeous.

[@amandajensen3640]

@user-ch3ez7wz7i Justin is gorgeous! I would be feeling insecure on both sides.

[@victoriabolton1884]

Neurosurgeons go to school for 14-16 years lol idk where she got 50 from 😂

[@diannehartnett9044]

She is promoting hair products and her husband!

[@myselfme767]

Blake Lively is a mean person who's trying too hard to be liked!Is Blake Lively so powerful in Hollywood or is it Ryan? How can she convince the whole cast to avoid him? Or did they just followed her, because of Blake's influence in Hollywood?

[@anniedeedrix6732]

Nice people dont always get along and that is okay .

[@veronicaleon8075]

5:22 Jenny’s answer surprised me. Not one complimentary word for the Director who most likely had a say on hiring her for this movie. What she did say though was short sighted. At the time no one knew all that we know today so her words are loaded with critique to Justin should stick with Directing or acting but not both 🙄 Tell that to other Director’s who starred as main character. I googled this info. There’s Barbara Streisand, Clint Eastwood, Danny Devito, Ben Affleck, Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, Kevin Costner, Joel Edgerton, John Krasinski and Justin Baldini who I think did terrific acting and the Directing was good bc I walked into that movie only knowing that it was adapted from a book. I knew zilch of what it was about. I really really really liked it. It was an incredibly moving movie. For Jenny and the cast side with Blake loudly in public meant to ostracize Justin in public is disgraceful. Especially if it’s in fact about Blake felling fat shamed by Justin or that he kissed too long in a kiss. Singular kiss, not plural. These are things that are worked out amongst professionals and you move on, not creating drama and cliques like defensive bullies do. It’s too bad that the PR has gone south bc this might dissuade ppl from wanting to watch an otherwise, a good movie with a much needed message to those of us who have suffered DV.

[@ValBalace]

Blake is giving mean girl

[@DakotaLily]

I don’t know - something super weird is going on - for some reason I don’t feel like balding did anything 🤷🏼‍♀️ I get this sense Blake is having a huge ego trip for some reason

[@robinsalem8201]

Blake is trying to make this movie and deadpool movie into the new Barbie/oppenheimer

[@traceyroyer993]

Narcissism, inferiority complexities, emotional instability and jealousy on top of the usual competitiveness of these top players, has got to be maddeningly overwhelming. Unbearable for some. Blake and Brandon are both perfect 10s, each very talented and I presume fairly wealthy, etc. (Reynolds & Lively, for sure. I've just now "met" Brandon, hence, my uncertainty). Who really knows the entirety of what's going on with this entire production. Ryan having actually written some of the dialogue, (after filming began, it sounds like), could 100% be the primary instigating factor of all of this tumult. But, no one, save those involved, really knows the goings on, "... behind closed doors." You know the age old expression. It's as true now as it was at the first utterance. Also, Blake was not acting professional or respectful, at all, at that notorious interview, where Parker Posey also appeared. Anything to do with her? The typical, overt snobbery of the elite. I'm somewhat disappointed, as Blake is my closest, celebrity doppelganger. Ha. If only it were readily apparent. Peace ☮️

[@samiam5434]

I Ryan and Blake did shows that they lacked respect for Justin. Now, I would question maybe Justin deserves it because maybe his view was poor but now seeing that he is only taking it seriously…we also see Ryan and Blake are narcissistic but rewriting and not telling Justin. They took over basically and it was disrespectful. The director is the boss…..😂 Ryan and Blake would never do that to Christopher Nolan or James Cameron . 100% Those directors will kick you out if Hollywood.,.not even Blake and Ryan would save safe if they disrespected a high up like that. Justin is new and doesn’t have the power so they felt comfortable making this “their” movie. Entitled brats. Also, I always question Blake as s person because she is so close to Taylor swift who is s know narcissist. Girl had no shame. Birds of a feather flock together. So now that it’s confirmed that Blake is an entitled b*** too….now we must question Ryan for being into a narcissist like that.

[@MySabrina15]

She can’t fire him he owns the rights to it

[@sandysilva5659]

I feel sorry for the main actor of her last film Justin Baldoni who is the director of the film and holds the rights to adapt the book to the cinema. She acts he doesn't exist in a very disrespectfully and unprofessional way. He shows the reality of the film and speaks out against domestic violence very accurately. Very disrespectful for this actress who wanted to take over his film he has been working for years. He talks about domestic violence, she's more about selling the film like Barbie with flowers and selling the beverage products and hair products along with the film's premiere. And the book writer selling nail polish and coloring books. He is a class act, mature with high emotional inteligence. His interviews of the film are the best.
