The movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel follows Lily Bloom (Blake Lively), a florist who falls in love with a neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni). Three months into their relationship, he is physically abusive to her, a situation that mirrors the experience of Lily’s—and also Hoover’s—mother.Â
It Ends With Us finished second at the domestic box office over the weekend, following Deadpool & Wolverine with $50 million, and it made $80 million globally.
Given the sensitive topics portrayed in the film, some have suggested that the alleged feud between Blake and Justin might stem from their differing approaches to handling the protagonist’s conflict.
Justin, who plays Ryle and is also the director of the film, was reportedly “dismissive” of Blake’s suggestions “during scenes depicting abuse”

According to a report published by the DailyMail, Justin behaved in a “chauvinistic” and “borderline abusive” manner on set and was “dismissive” of Blake’s suggestions “during scenes depicting abuse.”
He “failed to consider Blake’s character’s perspective, instead focusing solely on what he believed was the abusive male viewpoint,” an approach that created “a tense atmosphere on set,” the source claimed.
“Justin almost became the character in the sense that some women on set felt he was borderline abusive to them and that he was unprofessional and unapologetic.”
