It Ends With Us sequel hit by Lively-Baldoni dispute
Sequel to It Ends With Us faces challenges due to Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni rift
It Starts With Us, Colleen Hoover’s 2022 bestseller, continues the story from her 2016 book and is set a few months after the first part ends. The sequel is anticipated following the success of the first film, which grossed over $200 million globally. However, there are complications due to a rumored rift between co-stars and co-producers Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
Rift and production hurdles
Tension between Blake and Justin reportedly emerged after they finished filming *It Ends With Us*. They have not promoted the film together, and there are rumors that Blake edited the film differently from Justin’s version. Allegations include claims that Justin fat-shamed Blake and that Blake’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, contributed a key scene, which might have affected Justin’s credit.
