«Pretty surprised at the backlash and drama» around the movie, the actress said. Blake Lively was unprepared for the backlash she encountered while promoting her critically acclaimed film It Ends With Us.
According to a source who spoke with PEOPLE, the actress was «pretty surprised at the backlash and drama» that preceded the romantic drama’s debut last month.
The insider continues, «At first, she felt extremely vulnerable and upset.» «There was seldom a day during the film’s promotion when she wasn’t in the headlines for the wrong reasons.
Simply said, she’s not used to this kind of drama.» According to the source, the circumstances «felt out of control to her.» Nevertheless, Lively, 37, who will next be seen with Anna Kendrick in A Simple Favor 2, «enjoys working.»
It Ends With Us, the Colleen Hoover adaption that Lively produced, went on to become the highest-grossing film office smash of the actress’s career to date.
When Lively and Justin Baldoni, the male protagonist and director of the movie, failed to appear for group shots on the red carpet at the premiere, rumors of conflict between the two costars spread like wildfire.
Additionally, they did not collaborate on any press in the run-up to the release. Furthermore, a few individuals on the internet criticized the movie’s promotional effort, saying it was deceptive for a work that addresses issues of trauma and domestic abuse.
