Maybe they are trying to publicly side with the more famous & powerful one? |
Look at this interview from 2016 that the interviewer posted this week. Blake comes across as a horrible person:

Colleen Hoover is going where the money and sequel is. |
She could’ve publicly stayed out of it by not “unfollowing“ Justin on social media. It seems silly, but it’s a big statement. |
It's very immature, which makes sense considering her writing and Lively who acts like a perpetual spoiled shallow 20yo. |
This is completely normal for Hollywood. Happens all the time. |
Someone's husband swoops in and rewrites scenes? |
The actors and author caused the problems by going public with their issues. Plenty of people want to learn about the movie before going. Hard to miss the issues. |
You can't look at Ryan Reynolds as "someone's husband" when it comes to Hollywood. He has becomes a major force (I mean, I like him, but his rise in power is pretty astounding) and that gives him the ability to do what he wants with a script he is involved in, given the money he/they put into it. Plenty of Hollywood writers have gotten far worse treatment after writing a script. |
He is absolutely someone's husband, an action dude with great business sense not known for his sensitivity. I'd be pretty pissed if writing a movie about DV and the Deadpool guy comes in and rewrites. How can her coworkers respect her (I know they do on the surface, because Ryan Reynolds money)? She can't do one thing independently? It's sad and unnecessary if her point is to be taken seriously as an actress. |
Apologies I don’t have a link but wow her interviews are terrible. I saw one where the interviewer said, for women who identify with this film and want to share their story with you, how best should they approach you? And Blake basically answered that they shouldn’t - and then she went on to mock anyone who would want to approach her? I wonder if she was speaking off the record? It was so bad. |
Wow, right out of Mean Girls. And everyone knows she is obsessed with clothes so she needs to drop the fake feminist act, not to mention costumes are a vital part of a period movie. |
I was intrigued so I looked and found it. Her costar looked mortified. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/comments/1eru6l6/blake_livelys_recent_it_ends_with_us_interview/ |
OK, I’ve spent way too much time on this.
Say Justin is a terrible person and created a terrible environment onset. In that case it makes Blake look bad. She has power in Hollywood and she is essentially distancing herself from this guy, but completely okay with not speaking up and doing anything formal. She says she’s a girls girl, but I guess it’s fine if he goes and acts hostile on other sets? She seems to want to separate herself from him, but not want him to take any accountability besides just being a mean girl to him. If he did something so bad he should not be working in Hollywood they should have fired him. Someone has confidence in Justin because he has been given a lot of leeway and funding to promote the film and it seems to be working. They are clearly doing two separate promotional angles, and they are funding Justin and his family flying all over the world hosting premiers on his own, hosting panels on intimate partner violence. It seems to be working as fans are responding to that side of it. So it leads me to believe he didn’t do something so egregious but maybe he’s just a jerk. Maybe it was a lot of pressure to directed act and maybe that showed onset. Fine, the cast unfollowed him and our distancing himself from him. That doesn’t explain how unprofessional they are being. Jenny slate’s interview is getting a lot of attention because she was asked how he was in the dual role as director and actor. Instead of saying anything about him, she turned it on herself and started talking about how she would not want to do two jobs. Whether or not you like him, he is in part responsible for the success of this film. He played a lead role in a way fans are loving and his direction contributed to the films success. If she wanted to be diplomatic, she could have said something like he really took a lot of creative input from people on the set, and he played the character in the way fans are responding to, or something like that. There’s a way to answer the question for good of the film without complimenting him, but also without drawing attention to the fact that you think he’s terrible which distracts from the movie. She seems to not want to talk about him at all and it seems like she wants to hitch herself firmly to Blake and Ryan’s wagon. I don’t blame her but it does make me lose respect for her. Also makes me think that Blake and team are creating some sort of very polarizing environment where people have to choose which seems unprofessional and icky. I guess at the end of the day, if someone is a jerk it doesn’t mean you have to turn around and be a jerk. Isn’t that what we teach our kids, you can’t control other people, but you can control how you act? I just don’t see how justin being a jerk means that other actors and Colleen have to act so unprofessionally and bully like. This weird silent treatment like he is not the director or lead actor seems sociopathic to me. And what is interesting to me is Justin is being totally professional and gushing about the cast. Maybe it is the expensive crisis management that he hired, but it’s working. I came to this whole thing not knowing who Justin was and being big fans of Jenny and Blake and Ryan. I don’t know how I feel about Justin, but I definitely am feeling icky about Blake and Ryan and Jenny. |
Wow. I think she is more comfortable doing the jokey, light, I’m-so-relatable act which I get, but it seems like there should’ve been some sort of media training to talk about the more serious themes of the film. This came off really bad and Brandon looks very uncomfortable with her response. |
