The news was just launched by TMZthe popular American gossip and customs site, and arrives after months in which the relationship between Blake Livelystar and producer of “It Ends with Us“, and the director (and co-star) Justin Baldoni it has become a topic of heated public discussion in newspapers and social networks. I had summarized the story here, for example.
In short, Blake Lively, after the release of the film, was hit by a major reputational crisis from which she still does not seem to have recovered. She was accused by fans of being 'unsympathetic' to the film's sensitive subject of domestic violence, apparently preferring to talk about the more frivolous aspects of filming, such as her wardrobe. “Put on a floral dress and go see 'It ends with us' with your friends” was his most criticized phrase: rather than a drama about a toxic relationship, it seemed like he was advertising a romantic comedy. His relationship with Baldoni was also much discussed, who according to rumors would have been placed somewhat on the margins of the project, despite being the director, also due to the cumbersome presence of Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, who would have even put hand to the script. As proof of this, there aren't even any photos of Lively and Baldoni together at the film's premiere.
Now, however, the matter seems to have gone beyond the boundaries of speculation and has reached court.
