‘FELT OUT OF CONTROL’

Blake Lively Was ‘Vulnerable and Upset’ Over ‘It Ends With Us’ Drama

A source told People that the actress was “just not used to this kind of drama.”

Blake Lively was not immune to the It Ends With Us drama that unfolded last month. According to a People source, the actress felt “pretty surprised at the backlash.” The drama in question involved rumors that Lively had a falling out with her co-star and director of the film, Justin Baldoni. The rumor mill began churning when the two didn’t do any press as a duo or get photographed together at the film’s premiere. In addition to the feud speculation, Lively was also subjected to criticism after problematic comments resurfaced, as well as a tense exchange with an interviewer back in 2016. The source also revealed to People that Lively “initially felt very vulnerable and upset.” “During the promotion of the movie, not one day went by when she was not in the news in an unfavorable light. She’s “just not used to this kind of drama,” the source added. The whole ordeal “felt out of control to her.” Lively herself has yet to comment on her rumored feud and subsequent fallout.
