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.

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, 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.

Apologies I don’t have a link but wow her interviews are terrible.

That’s not completely true ….what I will say is…. It’s not just Blake and Justin Baldoni (director/main character) not talking to each other – it’s pretty much the entire cast/Colleen Hoover Also not doing any press with Justin – and no longer following him on social media. Justin only took pictures with his wife on the red carpet at the Premier and had no interactions with the rest of the cast. Sounds like Blake and Ryan had to infuse a ton of money into the movie to get it back on track.

Yeah, I’ve been reading about this. But the way everyone has turned on the director feels very - middle school ostracism. It’s cruel and unkind and gives me flashbacks to my youth! That being said, maybe he did something egregious.

Agree. What irks me is that Colleen really bought for him to direct and play the character. And so for her to turn against them like that just seems like she got caught up in the whole Blake lively and her hair phenomenon lol.

I get it - she’s a star, but it does seem petty of Colleen and like she just acts on a whim. Justin is not a newcomer… He is pretty established in Hollywood so it would be surprising if he did something completely egregious and we aren’t hearing about it. He seems like a really nice guy, devoted to his wife, has a ton of fans, just seems weird that they turned against him.

I’m excited to see the movie but also happy that the press etc.
is going to die down now that opening opening weekend is done.

Even if they had a difference of opinion creatively or he was a bad director - to unfollow on social media and refuse to appear with him…very immature.

And apparently the screenwriter was surprised to learn that Ryan Reynolds rewrote some scenes. That’s disrespectful of someone who I imagine has had great professional success in the industry. I don’t like the egos.

This is completely normal for Hollywood. Happens all the time.

Someone's husband swoops in and rewrites scenes?

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.

It’s definitely a chick flick, The acting was amazing, I really liked it.

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.

He took method acting too far. This was leaked from someone on set.

Who? Lively's camp?

Baldoni seems respectful for the entire marketing push. Others don't seem to be as respectful imo.

Does anyone remember the rumors years ago when The Town (movie) came out? Who put those out?

I think people need to act like adults. At some point everyone works with people they don't get along with. It is life and if there is a real problem, talk to HR. If it's ego, you push it aside for a big project, get the project done, congratulate one another, and move on. Yes, some people work harder than others and sometimes someone needs to pick up slack. It stinks, but it happens. You don't create drama and rumors like in middle school. Grow up.

Why are you twisting yourself into knots trying to defend him when the ENTIRE cast unfollowed him?

Not the poster you are asking this question to but it seems like the theories out there are that people chose to rally around Blake and Ryan. Ryan in particular is very powerful in this industry right now and you don’t want to cross him.

Colleen Hoover practically begged Justin Baldini to direct and play the character. He did not want to do both and she really pushed him. She let him option the rights to her baby - this book that fans love. And then all of a sudden she just turns on him? It’s clear she is completely starstruck around Blake and it seems like she just fell in line.

This movie was getting a lot of criticism. There was a lot of time in between a bulk of the shooting in the movie and the writers and actors strike and then when they wrapped the movie. I think Blake and her team panicked and got Ryan involved and they decided to make Justin the fall guy.

Every time I read or hear about this it just really seems like Middle School behavior from the cast. Maybe Justin deserves it? It’s just really hard for me to justify grown professional adults acting like this towards someone. We all hear of sets where people don’t get along, but I have never seen this kind of behavior before.

Add that to the criticism Blake is getting for trying to make Barbenheimer happen again with the cross promotion of Deadpool, making this a fashion show, and promoting her hairline, instead of at all talking about the serious subject matter of this movie, and it’s just weird. I am betting the truth is somewhere in between all these rumors. But it seems like the cast is a very immature and justin seems to be taking the high road.

You’re right, it doesn’t make sense that Colleen Hoover would all of a sudden turn on Justin given how much she wanted him to play Rile. Seems to make more sense that he behaved inappropriately than being starstruck like by Blake lively.

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.
