Fans are wondering what it’s like to work with actress Blake Lively after some alleged drama between the “It Ends With Us” Cast.
Is Blake Lively Nice?
August 13, 2024– Is Blake Lively a nice person to work with?
Rumors are swirling regarding whether or not the actress is nice after it was alleged that she and director/fellow cast member, Justin Baldoni, had a rift. It was alleged that Lively and Colleen Hoover- who wrote the book the film is based on- both unfollowed Baldoni on social media.
During the promotional tour, fans noticed that Baldoni was strangely absent from press interviews and panels despite being a leading cast member on screen in the movie. He also directed the film. Even during the premiere of the movie, Lively was spotted taking photos with other cast members while Baldoni walked the red carpet with his wife, seemingly alone.
It was also alleged that there were two different cuts of the film- one being Lively’s and one being Baldoni’s, although it is unclear if this is legitimate or which one made the final cut, if so.

Fans were also concerned with Lively’s promotion of the film recently- she seemed to gloss over the fact that this film is about domestic violence, instead, encouraging fans to seemingly “grab your friends” and “wear your florals” to watch the film. She has also been promoting her new haircare brand in addition to the film, which some fans thought took away from the messaging behind the movie. This also upset fans. Baldoni, on the other hand, seemed to be one of the few cast members taking the subject of domestic violence in the film seriously, such as promoting resources and help for those impacted.
As outlined by the below TikToker @thisisjessrose, Lively initially promoted this film almost like a summer ROMCOM.

However, it seems as though Lively is attempting some damage control after the alleged claims that she is promoting this film as a ROMCOM by posting about domestic violence stats and resources on her Instagram. Fans thought the timing of this post was weird because the film came out days prior.
Now, it is important to know that we don’t know for sure what happened amongst the cast- if anything. As a result, there is no concrete evidence to support claims that Lively is not “nice” to work with.

After rumors surrounding an alleged rift between Lively and Baldoni while filming/promoting “It Ends With Us,” fans began digging into Lively’s past to see what she was like when working alongside Leighton Meester on “Gossip Girl.”
There are alleged claims that the duo didn’t get along on “Gossip Girl” and reportedly “weren’t friends” although- again- there is no evidence to back up these claims.
Right now, it seems as though a bunch of rumors are floating around surrounding Lively and Baldoni – as well as her other, previous cast members- even though there is no concrete evidence to support claims she is not “nice” to work with.
