It Ends With Us: Know All The Controversy Surrounding The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Starrer

Collen Hoover’s bestseller, It Ends With Us, created quite a hype as soon as its movie adaptation hit the theaters. The book was a massive hit, and hence, the expectations were high for the movie. It did become a box-office success but grabbed the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Even before its release, ‘It Ends With Us’ faced a lot of controversies.

For those who do not know, the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni starrer is about Lily, who has witnessed her mother being a victim of domestic violence. She comes across a neurosurgeon named Ryle, and they both get into a relationship. But soon, Ryle’s dominant and aggressive side shows up. The audience was quick to point out how the story romanticizes domestic violence. Hoover clarified that the book is based on her personal experience and that success was a bittersweet experience due to its theme.

Though the whitewashing of emotional abuse and violence has mixed opinions, there was also an alleged feud between It Ends With Us stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Blake is also the movie’s producer, while Justin directed the film. Their lack of public interaction during promotional events further solidified the rumors. Fans also noticed that Hoover and Blake follow all the star cast on social media but not Baldoni.
