Taylor Swift was the latest person to get dragged into the It Ends With Us drama about Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Gossip Girl star Blake stars in the Coleen Hoover-adapted movie with Justin - who also directed the drama covering serious topics like domestic violence and emotional abuse. Since the press tour began , rumours spread that Blake and Justin were feuding behind the scenes due to differing opinions on final cuts and alleged fat-shaming.
It was reported that Blake made decisions about the script and outfits without "consulting Justin or his team". Fuel was added to the fire when Blake revealed that her husband Ryan Reynolds rewrote a rooftop scene which saw her character Lily Bloom meet Justin's Ryle for the first time. At one point, there were claims Justin made her feel 'uncomfortable' when he reportedly asked how much she weighed for a scene where he had to lift her.
However, as per TMZ , it was revealed that Justin has a history of back issues and wanted to know how to properly train before filming the scene to avoid any injuries. One journalist even weighed in on the drama and shared a 2016 interview with Blake that made her 'want to quit her job'. With fans sharing their two cents on the supposed drama, many decided to rope American singer Taylor Swift - who is best friends with Blake - into the row.
The actress was branded a 'mean girl' after fans watched her recent interviews. One user said: "Blake Lively being a mean girl and everyone being shocked is so funny to me. She's best friends with Taylor Swift.
.." Another added: "Blake Lively being best friends with Taylor Swift makes so much sense.
I see Blake took some tips from Taylor using her "untouchable" fame and clout to try and make people turn on someone they view as competition. Too bad the public can see right through these things now." Another user posted: "Blake Lively and Taylor Swift hanging out with each other made way too much sense.
No, I will not elaborate further." One person simply wanted to hear more gossip about the alleged drama and posted: "I would give up a vital organ to read the text messages between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift from this past week." Rumours of a backstage row between the director, his star and Colleen Hoover emerged days before the release of It Ends With Us (August 9) as fans pointed out they had all unfollowed one another on Instagram , wondering if a conflict could have caused Justin Baldoni to back out of the project.
Meanwhile, Justin has been doing many of his interviews without his co-stars. Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads ..
