Brandon Sklenar said he is “team It Ends With Us” after Gayle King questioned where his loyalties lie amid the ongoing legal battle between former co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
Sklenar, who was on CBS Mornings to promote the second season of 1923, explained that he wanted to maintain focus on the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel about a relationship colored by domestic violence rather than extraneous matters.
“I just want people to remember why we made the movie in the first place and what it stands for, and just keeping the focus on that,” he said. “Like that movie meant so much to me, and I have someone very, very close to me in my life whose gone through what Lily’s [Lively’s character] going through for a long time, and I’ve been on the frontlines of helping her navigate that space.”

Hollywood power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds stepped out on the red carpet for SNL50: The Anniversary Special in a first outing since the inception of their legal dispute with Justin Baldoni.
The duo were all smiles for the fete, which has drawn industry heavyweights from across the entertainment world, including Saturday Night Live cast members and writers past and present, superstar musicians and A-List actors, directors and producers.
In attendance are colleagues like Scarlett Johansson, Daniel Levy, Claire Danes, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Tom Hanks, Will Ferrell, Kim Kardashian, Emma Stone, Jimmy Fallon and many, many others.
Though Reynolds was at the National Board of Review Awards in January, Lively has mostly remained out of the limelight amid the increasingly convoluted and contentious battle with It Ends With Us co-star and helmer Baldoni.

Note: This story contains spoilers from “Matlock” Season 1, Episode 11.
While Kathy Bates’ Matty seems to be pulling off the facade of the century in CBS’ “Matlock,” she raised some flags for jury consultant Shae, which actor Yael Grobglas said is “Matty’s worst nightmare.”
“Matty has won everybody over. Her cover story has been working, but when you find someone like Shae — this is what she does. She can tell when someone is lying,” Groblas told TheWrap. “She knows instinctively something is off from the first moment she met Matty, but she cannot put her finger on what and it’s been bothering her ever since … She knows she’s lying.”
As Shae sets her mind on getting to the bottom of what Matty is lying about, she launches her own investigation into the titular lawyer, with the help of Sarah (Leah Lewis), who also turned on Matty after she...

Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively drama has been going on since last year, but it would take another year or so to conclude. In the meanwhile, shocking details about their ‘feud’ continue to emerge, proving that the issues at hand are larger than they seem. Recently, an interview of Baldoni filmed prior to Lively’s s*xual harassment lawsuit was released, where the actor-filmmaker remarked he has had an intense and harsh year.

While the court of public opinion is already on his side, the interview has further made fans believe the actor is not the one at fault. In the said interview, the Jane the Virgin star candidly shared his flaws, accepted his past mistakes, and sent a chilling message to all men stating no amount of sorries can ever fix their toxic mistakes.

The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama keeps getting worse by the day. While it started as a s*xual harassment lawsuit against the It Ends with Us director, it has now stemmed into a larger controversy, with the chances of Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, being potentially canceled. While the reasons for these are many, Reynolds has particularly been receiving immense backlash for allegedly trying to make fun of Baldoni through his Marvel character.

While Reynolds has been accused of bashing at Baldoni and trying to defame him, according to Baldoni’s legal complaint, he has also been getting hate from fans for allegedly molding ‘Nicepool’ after Baldoni.

Blake Lively has certainly found herself in quite a corner amid her lawsuits with Justin Baldoni. Despite starting the entire ordeal in December when she legally filed her lawsuit against the Jane the Virgin star, she is now in some very deep waters as more and more of her fans are questioning their loyalty to her.

One of the more evident assumptions that have been made by those online is that when Lively first went public with her alleged perspective of the entire situation, she thought that her very powerful friend circle would aid in her victory against Baldoni. However, some of her closest friends are seemingly leaving her marooned.

Amid all of the scandal surrounding Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, there is no denying that It Ends With Us has taken on a sour note for fans. With even Colleen Hoover’s reputation having taken a hit from all the speculation, what was once a celebrated work has become a symbol of a very public controversy.

With this, many past interactions between Lively and Baldoni have also become ironic in a sense, as fans reel at the evident lies that they were spouting during the film’s press tour. One specific clip is resurfacing of Baldoni speaking highly of Lively before tragedy struck, which seems almost painful to watch again.

Kathy Bates, the Oscar-winning actress of Misery, has been at her best in Matlock. Defying Hollywood ageism, Bates plays a 75-year-old lawyer who has returned back to the workplace. But all is not what it seems as the wily Matty Matlock, “like the old TV show,” has hidden her real identity as Madeline Kingston to infiltrate Jacobson Moore, the law firm that represented the pharmaceutical firm she blames for her daughter’s fatal opioid overdose.
During the first half of the show — which debuted back in late September, but got really going in mid-October and earned a speedy season two renewal — Matty’s subterfuge as an older woman left impoverished and slightly bitter by her no-good dead husband forced back to work to support her teenage grandson, despite being quite wealthy and happily married, looked like it could blow up at any time.

Let’s face it: Hollywood thrives on its fair share of juicy headlines. The thing is, this time it’s not about which A-lister’s lip gloss is popping or who’s got the most Instagram followers—it’s a tale of s*xual harassment accusations, public denials, and celebrity alliances.
When Justin Baldoni, known for his role in Jane the Virgin, made headlines by announcing the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel It Ends with Us, fans of the book were over the moon. The story, which focuses on Lily Bloom—a young woman caught in an emotionally abusive relationship—was already a viral sensation, especially thanks to its massive following.

Then came the casting of Blake Lively, a name synonymous with beauty, grace, and her iconic role in Gossip Girl. But things took an unexpected turn.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s legal battle remained effectively deadlocked on Monday following the first hearing since her initial sexual harassment complaint and his $400 million civil countersuit were first filed over their experiences on “It Ends With Us.”
Lively’s attorneys had attempted to get a gag order in place to keep Baldoni’s lawyers from speaking to the media — referencing their chronological timeline website from over the weekend, amongst other public statements. However, the actor-director’s team successfully argued that the actress’ camp was doing the same thing, pointing back to her New York Times article.
Both sides have now been ordered to follow New York’s Rules of Professional Conduct, which prevent lawyers from prejudicing their juries with comments. With that said, they are still allowed to talk to the press to defend their clients from bad publicity — meaning no gag order.

The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama does not seem to end, and so far it is Baldoni who seems to be winning the war as far as public opinion goes. After filing her complaint against Baldoni and alleging he s*xually harassed her and more, Lively’s claims have been countered by Baldoni, presenting an entirely different narrative than what the actress claimed had occurred.

Amid all of the information that is coming out about the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively lawsuits, the former has just made quite a bold move. It was recently reported that Baldoni has made a website specifically for the lawsuits that details everything from specific information that he has put out to a timeline of events from his perspective.

While this, on its own, is quite unheard of, it seems to be working very well in his favor. The reason for this is that Baldoni added several new details to his 168-page timeline, including never-seen-before texts that Baldoni allegedly shared with Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

Last week, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ lawyers proclaimed they wanted Bryan Freedman disciplined by the courts for the attorney’s “extrajudicial statements” in the media against the actress for his client Justin Baldoni in the multiple lawsuits battle between the It Ends With Us co-stars. Now, along with that proposed protective order against Freedman, the power couple’s attorneys want to make sure the Century City litigator won’t be taking a deposition from their client in Lively’s New Year’s Eve lawsuit against Baldoni for sexual harassment and retaliation.
Everything exploded publicly with Lively’s December 20 complaint in California’s Civil Rights Department complaint against her Iewu director. Now, Friday’s block move against Freedman comes just hours after the Gossip Girl alum and the “Merc with a mouth”-portraying Reynolds filed notice that they intend to get Baldoni’s January 16 $400 million defamation and extortion suit against them dismissed.

Justin Baldoni’s issues with Blake Lively have started affecting his career. According to a source, Baldoni may lose three potential projects, including a live-action Pac-Man. The It Ends With Us actor and his Wayfarer Studios were involved in the live-action version of the popular arcade game from 2022. Amidst the drama in August 2024, reports about the film resurfaced.
After months of speculation about a feud between the lead actors on It Ends With Us, Lively accused co-star Baldoni of creating a hostile work environment in a civil rights complaint filed on December 21. Baldoni filed a countersuit, claiming damages worth $400 million for charges including civil extortion and defamation.

Justin Baldoni is widely recognized for playing Rafael Solano in Jane the Virgin. He’s also a filmmaker and social activist who has used his influence to bring important issues to attention. Lately, he has been in the headlines for his feud with Blake Lively, which has already led to legal filings.

A six-minute voice message has surfaced in the ongoing legal dispute between film director Justin Baldoni and actress Blake Lively, revealing an emotional late-night apology and shedding new light on their conflict surrounding the movie “It Ends with Us.”
The recording, first reported by Daily Mail, captures Baldoni speaking candidly at 2 Am about their creative differences. “I am far from perfect,” Baldoni admits in the message. “I’m going to make mistakes, but I will always apologize and find my way back to center.”
The dispute began in December when Lively filed a sexual harassment and retaliation complaint against Baldoni, known for his role in the TV series “Jane the Virgin.” The situation quickly escalated into competing federal lawsuits, with Baldoni filing a $400 million defamation and extortion suit against Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds.

In the latest turn in the legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, a voice message from the “It Ends with Us” director has surfaced in which he apologizes for his brash response to Lively’s version of the now infamous rooftop scene.
The voice note, originally obtained by Daily Mail, is a six-minute apology from Baldoni, who sounds desperate to fix any trouble over Lively’s rooftop rewrites. Baldoni states that it’s “two in the morning” in the voice note, but the date it was recorded remains unclear.
“I am far from perfect. I am a flawed man, as my wife will attest,” Baldoni said in the voice note. “And I’m going to fuck up. I’m going to say the wrong thing. I’m going to put my foot in my mouth. I’m going to piss you off, probably, but I will always apologize...

If you’ve ever wondered how to handle fame with grace, look no further than the kind of people who make the world a little better just by being in it. Keanu Reeves has long been the gold standard for humility in Hollywood. His unpretentious nature and genuine warmth toward fans have made him a beacon of decency in the industry. But now, it seems Justin Baldoni is joining that select club of stars who know how to keep it real with their admirers.

Recently, a video surfaced that shows the actor-director posing for photos with female fans in a way that feels eerily reminiscent of Reeves’ humble photo-op style.

Bollywood Mascot: Justin Baldoni, known for his role in Jane the Virgin and as the director of the emotional drama Five Feet Apart, is facing legal troubles tied to his acclaimed film. In a surprising turn of events, Baldoni’s own lawyer has filed a lawsuit, claiming that the actor-director appropriated a writer’s original script for the 2019 film, which starred Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson.
The Allegations

According to the claims, the writer provided a detailed narrative that closely mirrors the storyline of Five Feet Apart, which follows two young patients navigating love and life while battling cystic fibrosis.
Baldoni, who also served as a producer for the movie, has been accused of adapting the script into the final version of the film without crediting its original author.

Justin Baldoni released raw footage from “It Ends With Us” production that he said Tuesday proves he did not sexually harass co-star Blake Lively while filming.
The 10-minute clip, which all takes place during one romantic dance scene cited in Lively’s original complaint, shows the two actors laughing and improvising small talk for various takes.
The video’s release marked the latest public attack between Baldoni, the film’s star-director-producer, and Lively since sexual harassment allegations against Baldoni were first made public last month. Most recently, Baldoni named Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds in a $400 million defamation and extortion suit last week. Lively’s legal team responded by calling the lawsuit “desperate.”
The actress was first to sue with her federal sexual harassment filing in December that asked for unspecified damages. The dance scene featured in the newly released video, which does not include any dialogue in the finished film,...

Exclusive: Hours after Justin Baldoni filed a $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, the It Ends With Us star and her legal team have clapped back — hard.
“This latest lawsuit from Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and its associates is another chapter in the abuser playbook,” said Lively’s Manatt, Phelps & Phillips attorneys and Willkie Farr & Gallagher Llp on Thursday evening in a statement provided to Deadline.
“This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim,” they said. “This is what experts call Darvo. Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim Offender.”
“Their response to sexual harassment allegations: she wanted it, it’s her fault,” the lawyers add of Baldoni and gang’s federal filing in New York this morning.

Who’s winning the PR war in the ongoing legal battle between “It Ends With Us” co-stars Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively? Possibly neither of them, legal experts say, as people — whether they’re in the industry or not — grow increasingly weary of their war of words and lawsuits of the past month.
“There seems to already be a public fatigue with the back and forth here, with neither seemingly clearly free from blame, and no single incident that either can point to as a clearly horrendous act that deserves public backlash,” Los Angeles attorney Camron Dowlatshahi of Msd Lawyers told TheWrap on Thursday.
Lively gained a tremendous advantage by filing her sexual harassment suit against Baldoni before Christmas, according to legal analysts, but public support for the actress might be shifting as more text messages between the actors emerge, potentially providing room for debate about her allegations.

"The Age of Adaline" — directed by Lee Toland Krieger and released in 2015 — is, put simply, a movie centered around the idea that Blake Lively is an inhumanly beautiful creature. This makes it hard to imagine that anyone else could have played Adaline Bowman, a woman unstuck in time who's incapable of aging. What you may not know, though, is that "Grey's Anatomy" veteran Katherine Heigl was originally supposed to play the titular role but ended up dropping out ... so what happened here?
Heigl, who originated the role of Dr. Izzie Stevens on the long-running ABC medical drama — and left the series partway through its 6th season — was initially cast in the film against Angela Lansbury, who was supposed to play Adaline's much older daughter, Flemming. Long before the movie came out, Heigl exited the project in 2010, according to a report in Deadline; at first, the outlet said that Heigl's departure was due to on-set strife.
