On-set drama: It Ends With Us insider rips ‘effortlessly rude’ Blake Lively, ‘performative feminist’ Justin Baldoni
Hindustan TimesThe It Ends With Us cast drama is only furthering an uncomfortable silence between the lead faces of the film, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. What the It Ends With Us insider said about Blake Lively A person told DailyMail.com that while Lively, lead actor and an executive producer for It Ends With Us, had “everyone” ticked off on the film set with her “effortlessly rude” mannerisms, Baldoni pushed his “woke and performative feminist” agenda. “There's nothing bad about having your kids be part of your workplace, or having your kids be interested in activism… but it's hard not to have to it feel insulting and performative.” The source even derided Blake Lively as “an advocate for the pretty blonde people in the world" due to her alleged actions on set. The insider alleged that this seemed to have affected the actor/director's morale as well as whenever he'd be asked about something, “he'd be like, ‘Well just ask Blake’… because when Blake got there she would have a lot of really strong thoughts and feelings.” Dragging Justin Baldoni as an “idiot," the insider emphasised that the actor had made performative “woke feminism” his brand, having also written a book called, “Undefining Masculinity.” The source didn't stop there. Whether this is just another PR move or some personal grudge playing out in the wake of the backlash the movie is receiving, the insider ripped the stars as “entitled people” with “no experience with abuse”, and so they are “cosplaying what they imagine abuse could be like for hot people.” While Baldoni has still received some respite in this arena from a certain side of the fandom, Lively has met with excessive blowback for drifting away from serious conversations about domestic violence, the central focus of the film.
