Tensions behind the scenes of the film 'It Ends With Us' have escalated, with reports indicating that Blake Lively, the principal cast, and author Colleen Hoover want to distance themselves from director Justin Baldoni. Sources claim that Baldoni's direction led to an 'extremely difficult' working environment, leaving Lively feeling 'uncomfortable' during filming. Notably, Baldoni was absent from the cast during the film's New York City premiere, only posing with his wife and producers, which fueled speculation about strife. While some insiders suggest that reports of tension have been exaggerated, the lack of social media connections and joint appearances has raised eyebrows. Lively is reportedly interested in directing a sequel, potentially sidelining Baldoni, who may not helm the follow-up based on Hoover's subsequent book. The ongoing drama has sparked widespread interest and speculation regarding the future of the franchise and the relationships among those involved.
