It Ends With Us has suffered another blow amid the behind-the-scenes drama as a former child star calls out Blake Lively for including music made by her abuser in the soundtrack. It Ends With Us has had a chaotic cinema release as Lively has been accused of downplaying the serious nature of the film and it has been reported that the director and male lead, Justin Baldoni, has fallen out with the rest of the cast. Amid this drama, producer Blake Lively is now facing new criticism for including music from a ‘known abuser’ in the movie’s soundtrack.
In a scathing message posted on social media , Alexa Nikolas, 32, who is best known for her role as Nicole on Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101 has reached out to Lively who has spoken openly about having a hand in the soundtrack on the film, to bash her. ‘Not only has your rollout of this film been a complete disaster and shame, but you also put my known abuser/groomer’s music in your film.’ ‘There is physical evidence of him grooming me when he was 33 and I was 16,’ Nikolas continued.
She then named her ‘abuser’ as her ex-husband Michael Milosh known professionally as Rhye, whose song Hymn was included in the film. ‘It’s easily accessible on the internet sadly since I had to also take on the emotional labor of exposing Rhye with evidence. ‘[There] was also a very public lawsuit that goes into great detail about what he did to me.
Shame on this film.’ In a 2021 lawsuit, Nikolas accused her ex-husband of sexual ass.
