One could have imagined that her influence (45 million followers on Instagram), her glamorous friendships or her marriage to a renowned actor (Ryan Reynolds) would have made Blake Lively untouchable. One would also have thought that the impact of #MeToo had put an end to the harassment of actresses. This was to underestimate the capacity for nuisance and the misogyny of certain men still in place in the American film industry.
The affair begins in August 2024. Blake Lively is the headliner of the film “It Ends With Us” (“Never Again” in French), a hit at the American box office. Adapted from a poignant bestseller, it tells the story of the descent into hell of Lily Bloom, a young florist struggling with a violent husband, played by the actor, also director of the film, Justin Baldoni. A plea against domestic violence that appeals to the public, a reason to rejoice? Not really. Because dissonant music spreads very quickly on social networks and celebrity sites: Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni never appear together during promotion. So what happened between the two main actors? Rumors from the corridors suggest artistic differences: Blake Lively would have imposed her own editor and her final version of the film, and showed a difficult character.
