The It Ends With Us premiere infamously featured a lack of Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively together, a move THR reports was done at the behest of Lively.
According to a new report on their ongoing legal issues, THR notes that Lively and Baldoni not ever being around each other at the premiere of the film was no accident.
According to them, Sony informed Baldoni that Lively and her team would not “allow” Baldoni to attend the premiere at all. While that was the initial request, a settlement was later negotiated, resulting in Baldoni infamously walking down the carpet by himself.
This was followed by the main cast of the film, and was one of the starting points of social media beginning to whisper that there were issues between Lively and Baldoni.
After the premiere, Lively and Baldoni’s tensions continued to flare, with THR reporting that Lively asked Sony to have Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios submit letters to the PGA (Producers Guild of America) stating that Lively had done work on the film, which Baldoni and Jamey Heath did, noting that they were doing so under duress to their lawyers.
