The drama behind the scenes of It Ends With Us is making more waves than the movie itself! Rumor has it that director and actor Justin Baldoni has hired a crisis PR manager, sparking speculation of a feud with co-star Blake Lively.
Sources claim Blake, who’s also a producer, had her own cut of the film made, leading to tension in post-production. Fans are now dissecting their every move—especially the lack of joint press appearances. Is there a real rift, or is Hollywood just stirring the pot?
The PR Move That Has Everyone Talking
Baldoni’s recent decision to bring on Melissa Nathan, a crisis PR guru known for handling Johnny Depp’s trial, has fueled rumors of a behind-the-scenes fallout. This move hints at some serious issues between the stars, who are reportedly clashing over creative control. Blake’s been linked to commissioning her own film edit, raising eyebrows and suggesting a possible power struggle. But as is often the case in Hollywood, the truth might be more complicated—or maybe not as juicy as we think.

Social Media Sleuths Weigh In
Fans have taken to social media, dissecting every detail. The fact that Blake and Justin aren’t doing press together has raised suspicions, with some pointing out their social media habits—Blake and Justin don’t follow each other, adding fuel to the fire. Blake even revealed that her husband, Ryan Reynolds, wrote a fan-favorite scene, which led to more speculation about her level of influence on the film. The lack of mentions about Baldoni in her interviews only adds to the chatter.
What’s the Real Story?
While the gossip is delicious, it’s important to note that multiple sources have downplayed the idea of a feud, saying it’s normal for films to undergo multiple edits and creative disagreements. Despite the whispers, Baldoni has publicly praised Blake, calling her a “dynamic creative” and expressing his admiration for her work. So, is this all just Hollywood drama for the sake of drama, or is there more going on behind the scenes?
Fans Are Keeping Score
Fans are divided, with some taking Blake’s side and others defending Justin. What’s clear is that everyone is invested in the drama, whether it’s real or not. As It Ends With Us continues its press tour, all eyes will be on these two to see if they can put the rumors to rest—or if the tension will spill over onto the big screen.
Either way, It Ends With Us is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about films of the year, both for its on-screen story and the off-screen drama that’s keeping everyone guessing.
