- Hello, welcome or welcome back to my channel! Lovely to have you here. In this video, let’s analyze and explain how Blake lively found herself in one of the worst PR scandals while promoting her movie it ends with us. And how Ryan Reynolds had a hand in turning public favor against her.
The book that was originally published in 2016 “it ends with us” by Colleen Hoover was a smash hit and was number one on the New York Times best seller. But being number one does not mean it was loved and admired by all- it is actually a highly controversial book due to its subject matter and the nature of the content in the book.
But the drama associated with the movie is not the only reason why Blake lively is being called the Internet’s latest mean girl. Her wedding in South Carolina is a point of contention, As well as her promoting her new haircare line Blake Brown at the same time she’s promoting a movie about DV. All this and more as well as my own thoughts and opinions are discussed in the video, so thank you so much for watching, like this video, it really helps with the algorithm !

Barbenheimer was also a meme created by the audience not forced by the stars.
I think that's the part that shows just how out of touch they are. Probably a byproduct of how RR markets Deadpool, not realizing it hinges on the audience at the end of the day b
Yeah, it's something Hollywood doesn't seem to notice
@@xosrakateox that’s what’s crazy! He forgot that it was the fans of comic Deadpool that got enough attention put on the “leaked” script to get it made. Without them he’s still doing teen comedies and romcoms. And absolutely nowhere near his current status socially and monetarily.
Not it wasn’t , it was a marketing move
@sweetsour4823 no matter what it wasn't started by Margot Robie and Cilian Murphy. They didn't start the double feature idea. It was a meme that they picked up on.
The thing is that Blake was trying to do the Barbieheimer thing, but her movie was Oppenheimer. D&W was Barbie. She wanted her movie to be Barbie.
Lol, you might be on to something
Great thinking there
I think if she had taken that route it would have totally worked out
Yeah she wanted so bad her film to be lighthearted and fun, when it was a film of dark themes like DV
I think she wanted to do what her husband does
Ryan Reynolds always plays the same character, the happy go lucky generic action man, because it’s easy to promote his whiskey brand afterwards
He’s the comedian with the whiskey, he’s not even an actor anymore, his movies are in function of his products
Like can you even remember one of the latest Ryan Reynolds movies that are not deadpool? They often are so generic is remarkable
Blake tried to do the same but with the horrific decision of doing it with a movie about DV
My mom was like "They pissed the spirits off at the plantation and they came back with vengence"
❤❤❤ The ancestors ain't playing with them.
OH 😭
I thinks it's effecting Blake more because she probably cared about the wedding more. Ryan just went with it
Possibly....who tf gets inspired to marry at a plantation 😢
jjajajaja lol I feel so bad fr laughing, but it actually makes so much sense xD
“We’ll vow to raise our children to be critical thinkers and anti-racist”
I’m sorry, that’s bare minimum
Hahaha! I was also appalled at this comment.
BL and RR thought they were saying something profound when in fact this is just the basics of having humanity!
Literally!
I guess they want a cookie for being bare minimum decent. That’s entitlement for you.
she said that then and still isnt able to be a critical thinker herself after all this time... so now i highly doubt they will raise their kids like that. its all lip service.
no literally. like ma'am... you should've been doing that even if you DIDN'T have your wedding at a fucking plantation
The minute she uttered "grab your friends, wear your florals" I decided not to see this film in theatre.
In the UK there is not directors cut of the film. Eg Justins version. I only found out that there was a directors cut after and would have waited to watch that but its not available in the UK cinema, I reccomend you still watch it if you can access the directors cut or pay for it online, because it is Justin Baldonis project and I would support him. :)
@user-pb5jt6xk2m I will 100% find out where I can see it. Only Blake and Co's version is available in theatre where I live, South Africa. Id absolutely love to support Justin & see his vision bc he spoke with so much passion. Blake n Ryan really tainted this film.
The internet noticed it, compiled it, and brought attention to it! All these stuff has been out here all this time! It was about time for her to face it!
I’ve disliked her and Ryan for years. Something was off about the amount of marriages he has had.
Valid!
Idk I thought she was alright, but I always had a disdain for Ryan Reynolds. He seemed demonic and like a tryhard, just found out his wife is the exact same 💀
Bull. Its not the internet. It is mob control. It has become trendy to hate on Blake.
@@SJ-ni6iy well... he did cheat on his wife scar jo at the time with blake on green lantern...
He HAD to hire a PR manager especially when “sources” leaked that she felt she was fat shamed and the kissing too long thing. Those allegations in itself could have been really bad for him. Turned out he asked the trainers her weight. He never asked her. He has a history of back problems so asking about her weight and training for it is absolutely valid. As for the kissing scene, there was a video that turns out she was directing that scene and telling him how she wanted that scene done. This whole thing is just messy. Honestly Blake was the wrong person to cast as Lily. They didn’t need Blake and by extension Ryan to make money on this movie booktok/gram/twit would have all come out for it.
Yes, all of this 100%
Throwing him under the bus to save herself may only worsen this scandal for her.
It seems like she’s an opportunist who would gladly step over anyone to elevate herself. He is new to movie-making and she is jealous that it isn’t her or her husband. He totally hired the wrong woman who is in over her head, despite how famous she is.
How narcissistic making his back problems about her. Making the movie that’s supposed to be about DV about her hair care and alcohol line.
She is so hated and she deserves it.
As a Jewish woman, I always compare that using a plantation for a wedding venue is like using a concentration camp as a wedding venue. You would never use a concentration camp. So why would you use a plantation? It’s horrifying.
So true.
Exactly. It is so inappropriate
This!
What an apt comparison! But I think a part of many things wrong with America - we pretty up the outside and never deal with the root problems. Cant let all those lush gardens and beautiful lanscaping and the dual staircase in the big house go to waste! It's just crying out for lining up 35 bridemaids for a photo. :(
I hope as a jewish woman you are also condemning the genocide that your people are also committing in Palestine!
Just because the women all “sided” with Blake doesn’t say anything about Justin. Blake has more power and influence in Hollywood. You don’t want to cross her or Ryan, like the screenwriter complimenting Ryan’s rewrite without her knowledge or involvement when what he did is a cardinal sin in creative work and ownership.
🎯🎯🎯
Yep. Ryan and Blake are actual SCABS. I have absolutely no respect for that.
i think a lot of women dont side with her. it's what her pr team wanna leak to get the traction going.
No it's not. This is very common on a movie set. Scripts are changed all the time and are rewritten or reworked. I'm surprised people don't know this.
The biggest issue was at the time the alleged re-writes happened, the writers strike was occurring. No rewrites were supposed to be happening at all, the only reason films were supposed to be progressing is if they already had an established script they were sticking to. RR going behind people’s backs and overriding the writers work was not only rude, but also violating the strike terms, thus the (substantiated) claims of them being scabs
Blake and her co-Star bullying the interviewer is what did it for me. She’s just a nepo baby, rich girl who’s never been through any real hardship in her life. As a girl who has been bullied, I can’t stand with women who bring down other women like that. I hope this recent call out humbles Blake and how she treats people, it’s gross.
It’s her comment about Kate Middleton that did it for me
@@Bunny11344me too. That she trolled Catherine with the likes of Kim Kardashian and Harry’s wife….. ghetto
So gnarly to watch. Glad the interviewer didn't quit because of it!
I was like, "Holy mental whiplash.. wtf is going on?!" 😅😂
Same here. The effects bullying has on people lasts a lifetime. I can never really look at anyone the same way after knowing they did that
I didn’t even know she was a nepobaby. I didn’t have an opinion of her before but I didn’t think she was that fake and bland
That reminds me of something Ryan Reynolds repeatedly mentioned during the promotion of The Voices, movie he was featured in: "Just because you're a beloved Hollywood celebrity, it doesn't mean you can't be a heartless sociopath behind the smile :) "
Wow. Sick
Pretty amazing that’s literally the exact same vibe I’ve always gotten from him
he should know. he must be talking about himself. he is a shrewd business guy who wields his good guy persona as both a weapon and a shield - as we can clearly see for that promo he did with his wife's co star and hugh jackman...
He's telling the truth about himself. Men don't make jokes.
@@rejectionisprotection4448 reminds me of the quote "when people tell you who they are, believe them"
the fact that the only argument against Justin is a generalization of men while the arguments against Blake are literally her own words and actions makes it pretty damn clear who is in the wrong here
Well said!
Her stealing the movie low-key makes me rage. 💀 Why make it a romcom? To sell hair products and alcohol? What a joke. Justin's poster looks better too. Blake's poster shows how selfish she is.
To reach more people on this topic would a film that is more light or hard hitting bring more people into theaters? I know I don't want to go to theaters for sensitive topic or controversial issues - I'd rather wait and watch at home.
Justin has turned himself into a weak man, what do you expect when you invite Stacey?
@@orphanedhanyouthe book is about DV. Do you think it's appropriate to adapt a book about DV into a regular Rom/Com?
She tried to do what her husband always does
If you notice Ryan Reynolds always plays the same character in every single movie he acts in now
Just happy go lucky action protagonist, this because it’s perfect to also launch his products
The Rock is doing a similar thing
Both of them are not actors at this point, but products
She tried to do this but without the happy go lucky action protagonist, so it looks so surreal to see her promoting herself while doing a movie about DV
@@eaglestown4609 Especially because none of these people are actually good actors. They can't be as committed to their craft as Meryl Streep or Leonardo DiCaprio can be, since poor things has no talent. So they have to become products, sell themselves based on their looks.
Let's not forget she also promoted her brand Betty Booze ( a cocktail company) at the it ends wit us events. She had drinks inspired by the movie; like come on, alcohol at a movie about DV. Money hungry much.
And it’s been reported that Blake doesn’t even drink alcohol! Makes her seem phony and greedy.
And her new hair care line too!
From what I have read, it’s not alchohol. They are mocktails which are alcohol free
One drink was named after the abuser Ryle.
this is a textbook case study of what happens when no one in their pr team has the power to say no.
18:30 Justin Baldoni isn’t an A-list actor because he was too busy inspiring other men to heal their toxic masculinity. check his podcast Man Enough, I’ve been following him for years and can attest to how authentically he’s been fighting and how this movie was supposed to be a stepping stone into the SAME DIRECTION !
But some egomaniac B-list actress had to come and ruin what Baldoni had perfectly planned. I'm so mad that a movie which could have spoken about such serious topic had to have this kind of ending full of controversies.
He also wrote about toxic masculinity and I just can't believe he was the problem. He seems to have so much self work. I also appreciated how he handled the making and filming of 5 feet apart and how he to this day talks about Claire and CF. I truly cannot wrap my head around him being problematic
@reshmashrestha5694 Agreed when it comes to toxic masculinity you always Want Men calling it out. It sucks that the when a man who actually seems to care about it is now being punished for it because the Female Lead cares more about her promoting her Brand than DV.
I love Justin Baldoni - if more men were like him the world would genuinely be a better place.
@@ThandoNdlovu-zr3ldliterally everyone's defending him and talking about what a great man he is for his podcast and the way he dealed with the press
Literally everything about Justin's version shows he "got" the material far more than Blake did. It's wild that only the most prominent and involved man in the project cared about the actual victims of domestic violence and actually put his money where his mouth is, while all the women involved basically dropped and abandoned both him and the victims and the entire message of the film.
He got it more than the actual writer. He acknowledged it as a serious topic. The writer uses DV as a cash grab having to add a "shock factor" to make her books "interesting"/"controversial"
i don't think it's that wild (though definitely unfortunate) because blake has a LOT more influence in hollywood especially with ryan
this!
Or she wanted the story to reach more people and softening the story does that? I know I def don't want to go to theaters for heavy hitting emotional or controversial pieces, I'd rather wait to watch at home.
@@orphanedhanyou They tried to make an "It Ends With Us" coloring book. Nuff said.
This Blake Lively cancellation is amazing. Ever since, thought she was highly overrated. Always thought her PR was doing amazing
she hid behind hr husband's good guy persona as a shield for years. so it was hard to cancel her....even when she had a plantation wedding.....which was...wow.
The wedding thing was the nail in the coffin for me. She adores the antebellum fashion and everything related to the plantations/slavery period. Just shows she is so self involved that can't grasp the absurdity of people being miserable and hurt to please the whites' greed.
U ppl are so weird foaming at the mouth to woman
Shes not even hot though and her smile annoys the he'll out of me
There are two reasons for her IT Girl status: Her nose job results and marrying the right guy because she CAN'T ACT!
The plantation wedding soured me on them from the beginning. Just absolutely insensitive and horrifying. I'm Black and Jewish, so I've described it to non-Black people as if someone wanted to get married at Auschwitz because they liked the beautiful greenery it was surrounded by. People were t*rtured and m*rdered there. I appreciate their apology and donation, but how are you going to "raise your children as anti-racist, critical thinkers", when you couldn't even do that yourselves? It made everything coming out about them now completely unsurprising to me.
People (even in the comments) will justify slave plantations but will never justify places like Auschwitz’s even though they’re both places of torture and pain. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
💯
Your fellow pro israeli jews are racing to have weddings on the ruins of Gaza so im not surprised
Blake Lively is clearly out of her depth and in need of media training.
💯
She is socially inept
She is in need of acting classes as well.
she was because she felt too comfortable hiding behind her husband's reputation thinking he's untouchable because of how the public perceived him to be "the nice guy"...but we see through that as well
She needs to take a looooong break and let real actresses do the acting!
I feel so bad for the writer for having her scene re-done and they didn't even bother to tell her about it.... poor woman
If we're talking about CoHo, I don't think she's one to feel bad for either. Her promotion of her books is similar to Blake's: "romance."
@@kocinriciri2340no they're talking about the screenwriter 🥲 they're both different people
but yes I don't think someone should feel bad for Colleen Hoover lmao
@@kocinriciri2340.... isn't the point of this book that the main character escapes get abusive relationship & finds true and healthy love? That's romance.
@@kocinriciri2340 no I think they mean the screenwriter - the one whose scene was rewritten by Ryan Reynolds - not Colleen hoover
I think Lively's both bulletproof and utterly tone deaf. She's not going to get that she's the problem, and she will never understand why she's the problem, and if she were capable of understanding then she just wouldn't care. If you tried to explain it to her she'd just stick her fingers in her ears and repeat, 'La-la-la.'
absolutely, and I´m sure that she will play the victim-card when she's doing interviews or posting on Instagram again.
Privilege at its best
The behaviour you describe is textbook narcissistic and while I don't know the woman, it's very typical for showbiz people.
True it feels like watching a dystopian movie of detached celebrities... But it's real life. 😅 She's creating / reinforcing a stereotype for celebrities at the "top."
She is not smart that's what you mean?
Why was Ryan Reynolds writing a scene when he wasn’t a writer on the movie? This speaks volumes about what actually happened for me. Justin Baldoni was pushed around. He was disrespected by this powerhouse couple. Of course the rest of the cast would side with them or hurt their careers in the future. Blacklisted by Blake and Ryan. Especially Ryan. Justin has shown nothing but respect for the subject of the movie right from the start.
for me, as a polish person, weddings at plantations sound suspiciously like wanting a wedding at Auschwitz or other camps like that which is mind-blowing.
Because not all plantations had slaves? Plus they have more history and purpose vs the entire point of a concentration camp was to irradicate another race. Your argument is like saying don't have a wedding on earth because at some point in history that spot had a death or injustice on it. Better not honeymoon in Egypt to see the pyramids right? 🙄
And "we like antebellum architecture" is such a lame excuse. Like, it's a wood-shingled square building with columns. You could throw a rock in any town built before 1900 and hit a building exactly like it.
my homeroom teacher went to the same high school as ryan reynolds and told us that he was bullied by him so i’m not really surprised that everyone is realizing that he’s kind of a jerk
omg whatt
Two peas and a pod. This speaks volumes. No wonder he loves Blake so much. He is a pariah just like her.
That’s crazy
I actually have a solid theory for why some of the crew and actors sides with Blake: she was supposed to direct the sequel. They want to get hired again. Lol. Simple as that.
They’re playing the long game then 😂
@@babygirlt8938 True and a very uncertain and hypothetical game too 😅😂 Sacrificing morals and stuff for a movie trilogy that might not happen.
@@Angel_Auraa So a typical film industry then :)
She's the producer so she's literally their boss. Even more so than the director, whoever is financing a movie gets the final say. Of course they're siding with her.
Justin is a co-producer and co-financed it, so… I think since CoHo and Blake are buddies, and CoHo is literally the author of the book, the cast sided with them thinking they’ll get more spotlight that way. Also maybe they wanted a chick flick like Blake and thought Justin’s darker vision wouldn’t bring them enough attention.
Her reciting the “crown straightener” statement is just so embarrassing. She is going out of her way to SAY she’s a great person rather than putting the energy into BEING a good person.
I have serious doubts that anyone even said that to her. Besides herself, of course
I feel like it’s an insult anyway. Like you think it’s your place to straighten other women’s crowns?? Na… she’s a micromanager… that’s what it means
Trump does the same thing..with his 'sir' stories
She did that in front of 2000 people cause she was copying Taylor swift. Only people picked Justin’s cut but she still went with her cut. Also, she did this while Justin was in the hospital getting surgery.
What was she copying from Taylor Swift?
During surgery? What a low-blow! 😐
I'm kind've confused as to why Taylor, a supposed feminist, lent her song to a sexist movie like this.
I guess its because they are close friends.
Nooo!!!! She did that while the director was in hospital getting surgery.
@@lordfreerealestate8302her song for the trailer fit because it was My Tears Ricochet. It fit the domestic abuse theme. I haven’t read the book, but I get the feeling that the topic of DV was supposed to be something serious in the book but Colleen Hoover glamorized it. She based it off of a real situation her mother was in. So it’s really messy
Blake tries to be like Scarlett johansson and Taylor swift but she can never be them, no matter how much of a nepo baby she is (and has siblings that are actors but better reputations than her). I can't forgive Scarlett for playing an asian character in yellowface and stealing roles from asian women, but I can acknowledge that she is a well-known actress with a lot of fans. Taylor swift has her own problems as well, but she is at least business-savvy, talented in her musical craft, and has huge young female, queer, and progressive fanbases to keep her in check. Blake has none of that. All Blake has is her family connection (that most people don't even know about lol) and ryan reynolds.Reynolds. I know Taylor and Blake supposedly "friends", but honestly, seems like Blake is using Taylor since Blake was nowhere when Taylor was getting defamed by kanye and Kim kardashian.
Oh wow!! I had no idea the screenwriter of the movie had given her own interview about writing that scene and how proud she was of it only for Blake to come out and say her husband re-wrote it. She must’ve been so blindsided!! That’s so unprofessional.
I get that they have money and connections...but Blake Lively was so toxic on this. Why would anyone even want to work with her when you know that she's just going to stab you in the back and steal your project?! Her and her husband's entitlement is breathtaking, really.
Yeah it seems like she's just sabotaged her own career with this
It irritates me how much Blake just decided that this was HER movie. She is an actress not a writer and director so, hijacking the production like that is such a weird, self-centered power grab. Rubs me the wrong way that an actor gets famous enough that they think they can step over anyone to get things their way
Blake lively was having issues being liked since gossip girl based on how she was with her female costars and sister hood of traveling pants
Really, that’s new information to me and probably a lot of people. I’ve only ever known her as a beloved actress from gossip girl
@@babygirlt8938there were articles in magazines about her and Leighton clashing on set but I liked the way Leighton handled it. She was basically like, we're coworkers and don't really hangout after work. Meanwhile Blake just gave a band-aid kinda answer to how she and her costars mainly Leighton got along.
she also called leighton a monkey in an interview. it was a mean-spirited joke that no one laughed at and you could see how much it hurt leighton’s feelings
@@babygirlt8938 in my memory, she was very famous but not necessarily very liked/loved. People just wanted her style
@@gingermcmahon3479I’ve seen that clip and ahhh it’s so bad! She even had to say “It was a joke! Come on” after because no one was having it. Almost nothing makes me cringe as much as situations like that
Barbenheimer worked because of public, it's natural.
They weren't told to do it.
If you have to tell people to do a Barbienheimer, you've already failed.
Also, the two movies had contrasting themes. One was bubbly and the other was a serious biopic. The marketing teams also worked together to focus on the contrasting themes while keeping the individuality of the movies intact. They didn't lie about the themes at all. But after watching the marketing fiasco of It Ends With Us, I was like "who came up with the idea to cross promote a DV movie and a Cheesy super hero movie?" Anyone with marketing knowledge knows it's a disaster.
It also worked really well because it was a way to bring in new audiences. Women went to Oppenheimer to appease their male counterparts and vice versa. It’s hard to force that ad you stated.
B List actress bullying costars, journalists and fans for no reason sounds like a right of passage in Hollywood.
Let’s be honest: besides Gossip Girl, Blake’s acting is mid.
@@cherishoneal9108 even in gg, her acting is mid
Her major mistake was thinking she could ice him out like she did to that one reporter during that interview like the mean girl she is, then she thought because she was ryan's wife that she could manipulate this whole thing to make Justin look bad. But she didn't account with the fact that Justin truly is only out here trying to raise awareness about stuff like CF, he met Claire and then made a whole fucking movie about CF in her honor. He, to this day, talks about her and how she changed his life (five feet apart). Then he goes on to write and start a podcast about toxic masculinity and tries to help men with that shit because it not only hurts people around them but themselves (man enough) and then he decided to adapt this book becasue he wanted to help women get out of toxic relationships and show men that behavior like that isnt okay. Like sorry, blake, you may be married to Deadpool, but this man has done so much self work and dovocacy for you to paint him as something he is not. He has a history of compassion and kindness and even knows that while you act like a high school mean girl, he somehow rises above and keeps it pushing with respect
whats CF?
can people use the real words instead of downplaying it with abbreviations...
@aijivik 💀💀 look it up. The information is free and easily accessible. Let me help you with that look up "what condition is cf" or "what is the movie Five Feet Apart about?"
@@aijivik "downplaying it" y'all really just be using words whose meanings you don't know now atp 💀
How come in the era where information is more easily accessible than it's ever been people are too lazy to do a simple google search... Besides, you're complaining but I'm sure you wouldn't have understood what the full name is even if they gave you the full name lmfao. Y'all just love complaining.
@@Abrigat ngl I was hoping to gatekeep the name just for funnsies 🤣
@@cuckoo-clockheart LMAOO mb lemme edit my comment real quick
Literally thought it was a rom com, grab your gals kind of movie, and that's on Blake.
Rom coms usually have disturbing subject matter especially when it comes to the false lead and very often just as bad as this. Everyone did this with Lessons in Chemistry, not a rom com but same target audience.
She was almost certainly advertising it as she was contractually obliged to do, and if she had instead promoted it as a serious Own Voices trauma story, audiences would feel betrayed that it has tons of rom com tropes, except for book fans who know that is what it is.
Bottom line. Blake and the cast made the movie for money, Justin and the crew made it to save lives, to spread a message, and the art of making movies.
I’m sorry, but soft shiny hair isn’t going to get rid of my trauma from the DV that I have survived do better Blake.
Ironically her ad campaigns don't make her hair look soft or shiny
@stahppls2293 I noticed that too actually lol 😆
“I’m gonna wash that man right outta my hair,” is an old (60’s?) song. Even so…
Since my life is still in shambles after a horrible DV incident that included kidnapping, I can’t afford that shit.
@@LeahIsHereNow wow, so sorry, wishing you safety and peace of mind

The “grab you’re pajamas” Chile
Blake really wants a Barbie moment lol I'm so glad things went bad for her. Ryan and Blake are a very strange couple, and they really seem to be the same person. they talk the same and make the same jokes. we were tired of seeing them.
I feel like the only person who really intimidates her professionally is Margot Robbie and it shows.
I remember how she turned up to Barbie screening. A little too overdressed. She was just a guest of a supporting actor in the movie. She should have dressed accordingly.
I felt this. She wanted in on the Barbie fever
@@foxesofautumnDon't forget Scarlett johansson, the woman ryan was married to while having an affair with blake. Also, seems like blake felt threatened by isabella (the one who played young lily) because blake had 100% control over what isabella wore to rhe premiere instead of letting a professional stylist do that. Apparently, Justin was an executive producer of one of scarlett's movies, which could be one of the reasons why blake lashed out at him.
@@foxesofautumn ooooo tell me more!!
She is how you know Ryan Reynolds isn’t as cool as the Deadpool marketing makes out. He married that
Exactly
Both are same
He left his WIFE Scarlett Johanssen for that
Scarlett johansson isn't even Ryan's first wife. His first wife was Alanis morrisnette. Wonder what happened there. Also, ryan and blake got married on a plantation. [Correction: Alanis isn't his first wife but his first fiancee. What happened in that relationship that ryan scrubbed it off the internet?]
Yup Ryan is way over rated. He is funny but he also strikes me as a great actor and thats the face the public sees. The fact he went with such a toxic mean woman who is now his best friend speaks volumes about who he really is
us having a bad day/ being pregnant/hormones should not be a excuse for treating others rudely
I feel sorry for the main actor of her last film Justin Baldoni who is the director of the film and holds the rights to adapt the book to the cinema. She acts he doesn't exist in a very disrespectfully and unprofessional way. As the film was hers.
Very disrespectful this actress who wanted to take over his film he has been working for years. She and her husband did it. He talks about domestic violence, she's more about selling the film like Barbie with flowers and selling the beverage products and hair products along with the film's premiere. And the book writer selling nail polish and colouring books.
The movie poster she produced ( her face and flowers), there isn't his name either.
He is a class act, mature with high emotional inteligence. His interviews of the film are the best.
In his interviews, he shows the reality of the film and speaks out against domestic violence very accurately.
I agree! I feel really bad for him, and i was surprised (in a good way) that he actually addresses the serious themes of the movie in interviews and on the movie poster
the hair care brand is so out of left field for me because her hair isn't even nice lol
This is so shady 😂
No because genuinely her hair has always been average at best.
Agreed. Always looks like it needs a hair mask
It has looked unkempt since gossip girl days.
Her hair always looks so frizzy! I would not use her products if they were free lol
The poor screenwriter, she clearly HAD to say that she was thankful to Ryan (as if he is some great Christopher Nolan), otherwise she would never get another writing opportunity again.
Thank you , Justin. For all you have done to be the voice for d v survivors. What a remarkable MAN you are ❤
YES! So grateful that at least one person kept the main focus on the real issue!
I feel sorry for Justin and the other people that got their work scrapped for the power couple's ego project😢
I wish you would have addressed the fact that she also used this movie to promote her alcohol brand, all the while the DV perpetrator in this film is an alcoholic… that’s WAY more problematic to me than even the hair care cross promotion. It literally made me sick to see her name drinks after the characters. Who does that?!?!
people getting upset that a literal (albeit fictional) abuser isn’t the exact flavor of attractive white man that they’ve been drooling over despite his horrific crimes genuinely disturbs me
Booktok fans in general are horrifying lol
And it's not like he's ugly. I haven't read the book but if the author herself asked him to play Ryle maybe she had someone more ruggeddly handsome/charming in mind than a pretty boy.🤔🤔
I think the main problem people had with the casting was the age.. i don't know properly but from my side of the internet that's what I've seen
His is he not… hot AF??
@@wiziarmy4879 i’m confused with the age complaints. ryle is a literal doctor in the book (a neurosurgeon at that). realistically he has to be AT LEAST in his mid 30s.
Not only her hair care line, but also she promoted her alcohol brand. She even named a drink after the abuser in the movie.
No fucking way
Yeah. What she decided is crazy when you look at DV statistics and alcohol statistics. Like, how ignorant and awful of a human do you have to be, to ignore the huge DV point of the film you're promoting, and then ALSO promote alcohol.
Here's a couple excerpts of studies I read:
The 1st:
"Research indicates that approximately 62% of assaults are linked to alcohol consumption. Alcohol can impair judgment, reduce inhibitions, and increase aggression, which can contribute to violent behaviors."
And the 2nd:
"13% of adult men had an alcohol use disorder compared with 9% of adult women."
So, whether it's a man or woman- roughly 1 in 10 people are an alcoholic. And assuming the audience are as tone-deaf and oblivious and Blake, 10% of the audience would be enticed to drink. And of that 10%, 62% would assault their partners. Which, as the lead actress of a film, where her character is a DV victim, suffering and escaping from a DV situation.. you'd think she wouldn't.
And yeah, this might sound like a lot of overthinking. But I guarantee that if you asked your friends whether they thought more alcoholics or sober people assaulted their partners, they'd say "alcoholics". It's just common sense. If someone's intoxicated, they'd have less restraint.
*Why she thought that encouraging people to be intoxicated, in the same setting as "encouraging" people to flee intoxicated assailants is a fucking conundrum.*
(I say "encourage" in quotes because she really isn't encourage DV awareness and supporting victims.)
As someone who has back issues(permanent disability but gratefully, highly functioning), if I am an actor and my job in a scene is to carry a person, I want to how much they weigh so I may prepare and train appropriately for the scene, or, decipher if it is too risky. Asking for the weight of someone that I am supposed to carry in my role for an extended period is not “fat shaming”. I would ask the weight of man, woman or heavy object etc that I was expected to carry. People without lifelong back injuries do not understand this, or would never have to even consider the question (how self absorbed people are these days, jumping on defence and assuming everything is a personal attack). Obviously, I assume, and I HOPE, there was tact and explanation when enquiring about the weight of the female actor. That would be the only right way to enquire about this of course. How blessed those without injuries go about living their lives with no consideration for any physical activity they have to accomplish.
Thankyou for the effort in your video 🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing!
And thanks for watching 😊
Irony the guy ended up being the most sensible one. 2 shallow women using women to make money and attention. Theres a writer worse than el james and Stephanie meyers 😐
This is what pisses me off the most
I’m so glad I never read any Colleen Hoover books. I’m out here having a hard enough time about JK Rowling.
@beatiz25ish Best comment ❤
Which tells you the guy is simping and the women are laughing behind his back how he is showing of what a good boy he is.
Boone Hall Plantation still has intact brick cabins that are called "slave street". How can you still claim ignorance when the horrible history is spelled out for you? Considering Blake's bullying and her total disregard for DV survivors through the marketing campaign, I'm pretty sure she simply didn't care.
Yeah, I'm not buying that they didn't know. There's no way that you don't hear the word plantation or see the stuff you mentioned at all during the process of renting it out. They knew.
Of course they knew, they are both educated. But it looked good on pictures 🤷♀️ unbelievable!
She is a living, breathing ditzy blonde. I think Ryan instigated tension between Blake and Justin to ensure sparks didn’t fly onset because….he knows how that goes.
I’m not sure if Ryan had a role in that considering that Justin has a family of his own, as does Blake.
i think he may not have instigated but certain went with it. better knowing your wife hates a good looking guy rather than gushing over him
That's how those two, Ryan and Blake, started their relationship....making of a movie.
@@carriewittbrodt5072 how you get them is how you lose them :) he should know lol
@@allys744 There are rumors that they both cheated on their partners before they got together. Maybe not on Justin's side, but I can see why Ryan would be insecure that something might happen.
The hell is wrong with Lively she really read the book and script and all she took away from it all is flower shop?!?! bonkers
She can't act w/o producing..maybe because she's really not that good of an actor, the only way for her to still star in films is her u to produce and cast herself ..
It's called being bossy.
Imagine going into a fast food job and saying you can't work unless you pick what people order 😂😂. She can't act, and she can't even do the basics of her job without forcing herself into a place of control. She sounds insufferable to work with.
I think she’s a control freak. Which is what her being a crown straighter really means. She thinks she knows what’s best for everyone
getting married at a plantation is like getting married at a haunted house. they don’t care how many lost souls are probably still roaming those properties today. that’s asking for a miserable marriage.
Finally the masses are waking
Up to overpaid famous people who are not inherently good cos they are rich / famous…. Many times is the opposite. … stop idolizing humans only cos they are famous!!! Judge their actions and character!!!
I agree that we all need to wake up and stop idolizing regular humans, any other human regardless of what they do for a living or how good they are at being human. However, they are getting paid in relation with the revenue they bring to the movie industry. If you entertain millions of people, that is worth something equivalent to the enjoyment and the amount of people who enjoy watching. That’s why they get paid millions of dollars for what they do. That’s why you see social media “starts” making a lot of money. Perhaps it will change someday, but that is the incentive of being in show business.
Even ignored the true talented Celine Dione or maybe because insecure of Celine’s great voice. I’ve never seen a singer worth a billion who couldn’t sing. But they have a big cult followers so that’s why.
People never learn.
🎯 🎯🎯
Okay why is everyone acting like Justin is not just a character?? Hes a director and actor. Doesn't mean hes an actual abuser. Ppl are so insane
I have always thought Blake thinks to highly of herself. I like Ryan but NO ONE is that "nice" really, you also don't get that rich by being nice, you hurt people and step on people on the way.
Blake lost my regard when she bullied HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales. There are things you just don’t do if you have any semblance of manners. Bullying is first. Have the year you deserve, Blake.
It still blows my mind how she got away from that so unscathed!
I remember a lot of people, myself included, genuinely concerned about a royal cover-up (like trafficking or murder) when it was revealed that Princess Kate's picture was photoshopped. I am just happy that Kate is alive and being treated for her illness.
Why Catherine did a photoshop at the first place. Catherine herself is a bully . Remember she made another woman cry then change the story, she is exactly like black lively , always smiling while being mean and protected by the system and manipulate narrative ( photos ..) until one day the truth comes out
@@dudaresende955of course, sugar. And Markle is the second coming.
@@judithargitay9860are you one of those obsessive meghan haters cuz they are very rabid and horrifyingly obsessed ….. btw i love kate and am angry with blake but what??? ur not righteous here
Lol I love the cheeky TikTok in the beginning of this video
*Blake promoting The Green Mile* Hey guys!! Get all dressed up and strap yourself in for an ELECTRIFYING experience!
Also, let’s not forget, she said during a 73 questions video that the film she laughed at was The Shawshank Redemption
If true she’s disgusting.
Lol, not Shawshank the tearjerker
She bullied Catherine, the Princess of Wales too but when it came to apology, hers was vague.
She is 100 a Narcissistic brat
💯
They knew exactly what they were doing when they got married at a plantation. An apology is just a joke. Sickening
25:38 what’s worse tho is that this interviewer has gone on to talk about how that comment felt something like a punch to the gut, as she struggles with infertility
Blake wants to be a mix of Taylor Swift & Margot Robbie so bad, but the truth is that neither is she as talented as Taylor nor has a overall cool vibe like Margot does. Instead, she just gives such mean girl/trad wife vibes.
I call BS on them not knowing the plantation wedding as public figures was a good idea. I genuinely believe they made up their minds beforehand to donate whatever amount of money depending on how bad the backlash would be.
While she's wrong for more than one thing, the way the internet does a 180 and starts hating on someone everyone seemed to adore yesterday gives me whiplash. No, she's not the devil incarnate, she's a flawed person you've put on a pedestal for some reason. Maybe this should teach us to not do it again.
No, what this teaches us is that everything eventually comes out. If you are a crappy person, you can’t just pretend to be a good person when it’s convenient for you. Actions have consequences and I’m glad people are finally able to see who the “perfect” celebrities they looked up to really are. No one is saying they must loose their platform all together but the public has the right to know who their idolizing.
@@karlaf.64 well, that kinda reiterates my point.
Right? I feel like all this drama just brought more attention to the movie 🥴 I think it would've been better if people just dismissed the movie after the initial criticism and started promoting other books and movies about dv that are actually impactful. I saw this amazing italian movie about da/dv a few weeks ago called There's Still Tomorrow and it would be neat if people started discovering films like that instead of just latching onto this (in the grand scheme of things pretty insignificant) drama between hollywood people.
Thank you. The only voice of reason in this comment section. Everyone is quick to pick up stones, we are all human. We all have flaws
I've always hated hated and Ryan since their early days. Ryan is in the same level as The Rock. When you pay to see his films, you pay to see a product instead of a passionate actor. And Blake always had drama around being a bully since her gossip girl days.
I feel SO bad for Justin who spent literal years purchasing the rights, planning, and getting funding for this passion project of his, being asked to star in it due to his acting ability and devotion to this topic, only to be steam rolled by Blake (and unfortunately Ryan too) with their influence, money, bullying and entitlement. He was the director! The fact that Blake created so much conflict that it changed the creative control, the vision, the movie posters, even the writing of different scenes! Just shows what a controlling, entitled nightmare she must have been to attempt to work with and have just "act" a role in this film.
I cant imagine the disappointed to have this passion project just turned into a nightmare by one overbearing crappy actress, I hope Justin has another opportunity that allows him to freely execute his vision and projects in the future, hes very talented.
is NO ONE going to address Blake’s eyebrow blindness
Priorities Michele 😂
lol you’re right we’re staying on topic and calling her out for her behavior and lack of education and sensitivity to real life issues. i promise i know 😭 i just had to get it off my chest 🫶🏻
@@michele345this interaction is so funny 😭
MICHELE PLEASE!💀
People are dying, Michele
She had her husband write the script during the writers’ strike :))) She had no respects to the writers
"They are just regular people" ... Actually they are not. And that is the problem. (Please do not encourage audiences to see them this way). Not with this amount of money, narrative control, industry control, Nepotism, etc. They are not regular people. And it's been lovely to see 'regular people' calling out Blakes bad behavior. Because in the past her status (not a regular person) shielded on-going bad behavior.
I think you misunderstood. They’re not regular people in the sense that they’re average people living non-celebrity lives. They’re just regular people in the sense that they’re human just like everyone else. They can be kind, mean, funny, rude, jerks and everything in between-they’re just people.
@@babygirlt8938yes we know they are human 😂 thx for pointing that out

That interview was the end of Blake Lively. As it should be. ABSOLUTELY APPALING.
BLAKE IS NOT A LIST
it’s her lack of care around DV that has made me most angry with her on this tour
I feel like I've heard people call out blake lively before but can't remember about what. It feels like every time she goes to a met gala, people suddenly forget all about her controversies
Because she doesn’t talk there. She went away for a while so there was no need to talk about her since she wasn’t around
This was so disappointing. I also don’t like those saying people are just piling on. She was so incredibly rude so many times. If she just apologized to Kjersti Flaa, it would have gone a long way. To say “it doesn’t define you is INCREDIBLY naive. Most never get out from under the financial burden. Leaving is the most dangerous time. If you have children, you then have to hand them over when you know what he is capable of. It colors your choices, and trust for the rest of your life. It’s not just a choice to leave. Also, nothing says florals and Lorraine Schwartz rings like a good beating from the man that is supposed to love you.
I didn't like that last woman. With those kind of women, men can't win! Now it's worng that men hold other men accountable?
We have proof on top of proof for everything that is said about Blake. her rude behavior, her not taking this serious. But all that's said about Justing is made up out of thin air or the fact that the Cast chose to be fotographed with Blake rather than him. Which could have been done purely for career purpose and not because they actually chose a side in this.
accusing him of being the problem because he openly speaks out for subjects that support women, is just wild! Shame on that woman for doing that.
I couldn't agree more
Blake lively is unbearable
its ironic how a man is handling the topic of DV against a woman more respectfully than 2 woman (1 who's a wife)
....Did you just suggest that men don't also experience domestic violence?
@@akashajones6079 there's a reason I specified "against a women" specifically, because thats what applies in THIS case
Tbh I never saw Blake as an it girl, she would come in and out of the spot light and show up with “nice” outfits, definitely not an it girl based on her acting career because she’s never been know to be a good actor.
“It’s not only the women that… have the clothes” -Blake Lively
I think she was trying to be like Scarlett Johansson, who gets annoyed that she’s asked about her skin tight outfits in marvel movies. I think they’re both absurd because if you are a sex symbol and you wear a skin tight outfit, you’re gonna be asked about it. Does Scarlett Johansson not know she’s a sex symbol? Give me a break.
Not exactly a feminist crusade.
I went on a plantation tour in Louisiana (the Whitney was one of them) and it was such an emotional experience for me. After the tour, one YT woman actually complained that the tour talked too much about the slaves! I was shook.
Edit to add I'm a fan of both Blake and Ryan but she has come out of this whole thing looking sus.
Omg whaat?!
What did she expect?!
Imaging cheating on Scarlet Johansson with Blake, I mean she is not on Scarlets level, how dumb Ryan
Blake is 11 years younger than Ryan.
@@seaoceanandsee😂 scarlett was young too she was 22 when she married 31 year old Ryan.
@XxGamersxx1990 yeah what I'm saying is that he's a predatory creep that prefers control over a much younger woman that is less successful than him.
To be fair scarlett was polyamorous and ryan wasnt into it
@@44DimensionSevenThe root of problem was that Scarlett is ans still more popular than r*an
the change of the movie poster is a visual representation of everything wrong with this production.
Getting married on a plantation is so absolutely insane, yes it's a beautiful building and piece of property but how on earth do you know even a crumb of history of the property and want to bring your whole family there to celebrate your marriage? insane.
I get wanting a beautiful location. But I wonder if there really weren’t any other beautiful locations available to them that don’t have a horrific history, especially given their budget.
As you said, absolutely insane behaviour.
I think the writer was being gracious by thanking Ryan after finding out he meddled with it because she's fully aware of the power dynamics at play. She's not going to risk her career by going off in an interview about how unprofessional Ryan and Blake were to rewrite the scene behind her back. I find the whole thing pretty gross tbh. Ryan and Blake are using their positions to strong arm their way through.
I’ve never liked her. She always gave me this vibe.
Me too. I feel so vindicated now 😂
I hope they recast the role of Lily for the sequel. Nobody wanted Blake to begin with and now she has proven to be extremely difficult and narcissistic. OMG, Blake is coming off as so shallow & insensitive. I love Justin's message & look forward to more of his films.
The depiction of plantation wedding at 3:46 is both wild and vile
Extremely
This is exactly what I was thinking….. why in the actual hell would he agree to that photoshoot?????
that was INSANE
I immediately spit my drink out hearing that and seeing that. What in the actual hell?!
that made me gasp. 😂 it’s so crazy. Gotta be a picture from a movie. This can’t be a photo shoot for a wedding theme
Blake and ryan are like that couple that have a joint Facebook
😂😂
i will say, if the “fatshaming” incident happened as reported and we’re not missing anything… blake, girl, that isn’t fatshaming 😭 the way it’s described (and again, acknowledging that there could be more that isn’t reported) is the most innocuous exchange i could think of.
asking the set trainer if you’re safe and in shape to lift a particular weight is completely normal even if he didn’t have a history of back problems, not only for his own safety but for blake’s as well. and how is he supposed to know if he’s good to go for her weight if he doesn’t know what that weight is? he didn’t even ask her directly, which could be considered rude, he asked the set trainer in the context of the set trainer doing their fucking job.
i understand and sympathize with the fact that blake could just be uncomfortable with *any* discussion of her weight, regardless of the context, but that doesn’t make it fatshaming.
I think Blake was subjected to less scrutiny before because she was perceived as youthful and light-hearted. It helped that her advocacies were fairly uncontroversial.
This time, she dipped into a more mature, serious topic, and got evaluated differently. Her risks did not pay off. Add to this that time marches on for everybody. I think if she had done her promotion for this film as a younger woman and in a different decade, people would have let more of the questionable stuff go as girlish hijinks.
And behind all of that is the changing view of Gossip Girl and her Serena character. Right now, she looks to many people like a real-life Serena who is not getting away with things like she used to and is shocked.
Very insightful comment.
It’s clear to see she was a miscast, she isn’t right for a serious role. I’m not a fan but this amount of hate is crazyyyy.
She’s obviously more suited to comedy….
The first thing Taylor Swift did after the European leg of her tour... get with Blake Lively. Sorry, but I change my mind on Taylor. It's over.
Lol no one cares that you judge someone just cause someone else they know did something dumb. It just say that you are keen to judge people without thinking twice. Bye no one cares.
Taylor has nothing to do with this is someone does something wrong you blame the person who did something wrong not their friend
Birds of a feather as they say….
Doesn’t everyone outside of the swifty cult know TS does not-so-great things? She gets away with it
@@AtiyaRahman-lu9wiLmfao Taylor isn't an angel either 😂. The way she handled one of her fans dying at her show tells me all I need to know considering she took her sweet time addressing it and then didn't even say the girls name just "We lost a fan! 😢" get outta here with that shit 😂.
Depictions of DV and other forms of ab*se must be handled with discretion, tact, respect and sensitivity. The book it is based on didn't do this, either. I'm honestly shocked it was given a film adaption, since Colleen Hoover's problematic, insensitive books have been very widely scrutinized for good reasons.
Once Reynolds became a billionaire, that did change my perspective on him a lot.
I never understood the obsession with her and her husband. She's bland and he's a creep. They're humble braggers disguised as being relatable and down to earth.
The laundry list gets longer everyday 😆
I'd rather go see beetlejuice
Me too, @Alyssa-pv6ki .I also going to see Beetlejuice and looking forward to see Sonic The Hedgehog 3. This movie looks like a shitty romcom book instead of DV book
Same
I'd rather watch paint dry.

@@ornamentalhermit333😂😂😂
I watched it ends with us because of Justin and Justin’s vision he directed it and it was done in a way that was respectful and not too graphic as I cannot watch violence in films. Justin was the director as well as the main character in the film he has the rights to both books ❤
Not Blake's poster only having her name on it 😭tell me you're full of yourself without telling me...she tried to make this 'the blake-lively show'. Glad people are seeing it for what it is.
