Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni’s Rumored ‘It Ends With Us’ Drama Explained

After much anticipation, “It Ends With Us” has finally hit theaters, but the rumored drama surrounding the film has been getting more attention than the movie itself. Although the film adaption of Colleen Hoover’s book touches on important topics and brought in $50 million at the box office opening weekend, people can’t stop talking about the potential rift between the film’s director and male lead, Justin Baldoni, and his co-star and producer Blake Lively. It all started in August when fans noticed that Blake and Justin didn’t do any press together. Speculation of a potential rift got worse after fans noticed Justin wasn’t included in any of the group photos of the New York City premiere. Fans further speculated the tension may have been caused by Blake and her husband, Ryan Reynolds’ creative input on the film. But despite Justin’s positive words towards Blake in interviews, rumors of cast drama hasn’t slowed down. As a result, Justin reportedly hired veteran public relations crisis manager Melissa Nathan.
