This comes after TMZ reported on Friday that Lively has no plans to publicly address rumors of a feud between her and It Ends With Us co-star/director Justin Baldoni.
The actress is reportedly trying to put tension with 40-year-old Baldoni behind her, with sources saying she’s choosing to focus on her other castmates and her family.
Justin felt “hurt and left out” by Blake, his on-screen love interest, while starring in and directing the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel, which shares the same name as the feature film.
And Lively reportedly felt “fat-shamed” by him on set and uncomfortable with a kissing scene in which she said he “lingered” longer than necessary.
According to insiders, there was tension between the filmmakers from day one.
Things only got worse during the making of the film, which surpassed $100 million at the worldwide box office in its first week.
“There were two camps on the film — team Blake and team Justin. This creative struggle set the tone for the negative experience behind the scenes and led to them not speaking to each other anymore,” a source told us. We weekly.
The insider continued: “[Justin] felt like his vision was less important than Blake’s, and it hindered creativity on set.’
