Blake Lively and Brandon Sklenar Cried While Watching IT ENDS WITH US | Interview
"It Ends With Us" actor Brandon Sklenar has taken to Instagram to defend author Colleen Hoover and "the women of this cast" against the online backlash the film has received in the lead-up to and after its theatrical release. Rumors surfaced that there was a disagreement between lead actress Blake Lively and the film's director and co-star Justin Baldoni during post-production over the final cut of the film. Neither actor has commented on the rumors.
“I wanted to take a moment to address all of this online garbage,” Sklenar wrote on social media. “Colleen and the women in this cast represent hope, perseverance, and women choosing to make a better life for themselves. Slandering the women who poured so much of their heart and soul into making this film because they believe so strongly in its message seems counterproductive and distracts from what this film is about.”
"It's actually the opposite of the point," Sklenar continued. "What may or may not have happened behind the scenes does not detract from our intentions in making this film, and hopefully it shouldn't. It's disheartening to see how much negativity is projected online."
