00:00Why is the internet seeming to turn on once-beloved actress Blake Lively?
00:03Recently, some drama surrounding the release of her new movie, It Ends With Us,
00:07has led fans to questioning the star's press behavior and unearthing much older
00:11accounts of Lively's interviews with immense scrutiny. Rumors started to peer online
00:14regarding an alleged feud between It Ends With Us stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
00:19The negative optics for Justin led him to hiring a crisis PR team,
00:22notably the same one Johnny Depp had hired during his trial against Amber Heard.
00:26As the press tour continued, fans started to be more and more critical of Lively for her treatment
00:30of the heavy domestic violence themes in the film, or rather, lack thereof. Lively launched her new
00:35haircare line during the film's promotion, and seemed to use the film's release to cross-promote
00:39this as well as her sparkling beverage line and her husband's film Deadpool Wolverine.
00:43Additionally, she didn't dwell on the heavy topic of DV during her press tour.
00:47Meanwhile, Baldoni's press for the film centralized the heavy theme,
00:50leading many to criticize her in contrast.
00:52It Ends With Us is in theaters now, so grab your friends, wear your florals.
