Celebrity Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni during the It Ends With Us promotions. There are a lot of people trying to figure out what’s going on behind the scenes with the It Ends With Us cast, but the internet can’t figure it out. For those who are unaware, the film It Ends With Us stars Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, who also directed the film, and Brandon Sklenar in the lead roles. The book by Colleen Hoover has the same name. Baldoni has not been seen with the rest of the cast since the film’s press tour began! Not for a single film or interview, which is fairly uncommon in Hollywood
Celebrity Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni during the It Ends With Us promotions. Despite the conflict between Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles, even the Don’t Worry Darling cast took pictures together. People are also talking about how Lively and Baldoni are promoting the movie in completely different ways: she is having a fun, girlie pop time, and he is actually talking about the important issues the movie talks about, like domestic abuse.
It Ends With Us, written by Colleen Hoover and released in 2016, follows Lily Bloom, played by Lively, who was raised in a broken home by a father who abused her mother. Later in life, she finds herself in an abusive relationship with Baldoni’s Ryle Kincaid. The extremely serious issue of domestic violence (DV) is addressed in the plot, which follows Lily on her journey.

Audiences were anticipating a melancholy press tour with an emphasis on raising awareness of DV given the plots of the book and movie. Promotions of Lively’s haircare line, red carpet appearances by Deadpool and Wolverine, scenes written by Ryan Renolds (for some inexplicable reason), and a complete freeze-out of the main lead and director were all things they were not prepared for.
The fact that Baldoni was only seen with his wife on the red carpet, never with the rest of the cast, and that there were no pictures of them together was the first thing that people noticed on social media. Strange considering Hollywood’s preference for cast-by-cast photos. In addition, while Baldoni follows the cast on Instagram, Lively, Hoover, and the others do not. Hoover and Baldoni shared numerous Instagram posts with one another during the film’s production.
According to sources who spoke with The Hollywood Reporter, the filmmakers split up during the postproduction process, resulting in two distinct versions of the film. However, Baldoni’s exclusion from the group cannot be explained by the fact that multiple cuts of a movie are not uncommon.
