It Ends With Us Drama: What Happened Between Justin Baldoni & Blake Lively?
By VALERIE ETTENHOFER
At the New York premiere of "It Ends With Us," star and co-executive producer Blake Lively was pictured with plenty of her co-stars, but director and co-star Justin Baldoni wasn’t.
Some soon realized that several people involved in the making of the film, including Lively, co-stars Jenny Slate and Brandon Sklenar, all don't follow Baldoni on Instagram.
Baldoni's podcast co-host, Liz Plank, apparently didn't pose with Baldoni at the premiere either, and the pair's "Man Enough" pod actually hasn't dropped a new episode since June.
Perhaps most strangely, Slate pretty pointedly avoided the question when asked about Baldoni on the red carpet, instead giving Deadline an impressively creative non-answer.
While appearing as a purposeful shunning of Baldoni, news reports indicate behind-the-scenes tension involves Lively and possibly her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
THR reports that Lively made her own version of "It Ends With Us" with help from "Deadpool & Wolverine" editor Shane Reid, but didn’t know which parts, if any, were used.
