Social media is buzzing with rumors of a feud between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. Baldoni directed and costarred with Lively in the film adaptation of "It Ends With Us." Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni reportedly did not get along on set. Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images/Getty Images Whispers of a feud started on TikTok and X after it became clear that Baldoni, who both directed and starred in "It Ends With Us," wasn't doing any press with the rest of the cast. Then, internet sleuths discovered that while Baldoni follows the entire cast on Instagram, only Hasan Minhaj follows him back. According to Baldoni, he's taking a step back since the film is about a relationship involving domestic violence. "This isn't my night — this is a night for all the women who we made this movie for," he told Entertainment Tonight. "This is a night for Blake, this is a night for Colleen. I'm just so grateful that we're here, five years in the making." In another comment that some have interpreted as a bit of shade, Baldoni said he wouldn't want to direct an adaptation of the sequel, "It Starts With Us," because "I think that there are better people for that one. I think Blake Lively's ready to direct, that's what I think." As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, there are reportedly two cuts of the movie: one approved by Baldoni and another done by editor Shane Reid, who has worked with Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, which Lively commissioned. The rumored two cuts and Baldoni's comments have led fans to believe that the drama began because of the two's different visions for the film. Amid all of this, Baldoni has hired Melissa Nathan, a seasoned crisis PR manager, per The Hollywood Reporter. Nathan is known for working with Johnny Depp during the Amber Heard trial.
