Blake Lively’s true feelings on set with Justin Baldoni exposed.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni may have portrayed star-crossed lovers in It Ends With Us, but behind the scenes, the vibe was far from romantic.
According to TMZ, tensions on set have simmered into a full-blown feud between the two Hollywood stars.
Sources close to the production spilled the tea, revealing Lively felt more than a little uncomfortable around Baldoni.
Past on-Set clashes for Lively detailed.
Interestingly, this wasn’t the first time Blake has faced on-set discomfort.
Back in 2012, during the filming of Savages, she was known to butt heads with her co-star, Taylor Kitsch.
The chemistry between the two was rocky at best, leading to plenty of whispers of conflict behind the scenes.
Lively, always a professional, never aired the dirty laundry publicly.
Meanwhile, Baldoni is no stranger to the spotlight himself, having risen to fame as Rafael Solano in Jane the Virgin.
Known for his heartthrob looks and charm, Baldoni carved out a niche for himself in Hollywood.
However, his off-screen persona is just as well-known for his advocacy of positive masculinity and emotional vulnerability.
In fact, Baldoni has given TED Talks on the subject and even authored a book titled Man Enough.
So the thought of him crossing lines on set seems out of character for someone who preaches respect and self-awareness.
Lively’s unease multiplies.
And it wasn’t just one incident that rubbed Blake the wrong way.
Apparently, there are two key moments that left the Gossip Girl alum feeling uneasy.
Scene gone wrong revealed.
The first incident involved a seemingly innocent on-set moment—Justin lifting Blake into the air for a scene.
However, behind the camera, things took a sour turn.
Baldoni’s question sparks controversy.
Justin, who has a history of back issues, reportedly asked his on-set trainer how much Blake weighed.
He wanted to make sure he could safely lift her without injuring his back.
But when Blake caught wind of this question, she felt like Baldoni had fat-shamed her.
Considering Blake had given birth to her fourth child with husband Ryan Reynolds earlier in 2023, the comment hit a little too close to home.
Sources say it really bothered her.
Kissing scene complicates matters.
To add fuel to the fire, another incident on set pushed Blake further into uncomfortable territory.
This time, it was during a kissing scene between her and Baldoni.
Apparently, Baldoni lingered just a little too long during the kiss.
The prolonged smooch didn’t sit well with Blake, who reportedly felt it crossed a boundary.
Needless to say, Blake wasn’t thrilled with her co-star’s behavior.
The bad blood between the two leads quickly became the talk of the set.
It wasn’t long before the cast and crew began to notice the rising tension.
Despite Baldoni’s reputation for integrity, some of the It Ends With Us cast members weren’t quick to take his side.
Several people on set stood by Lively, claiming her discomfort was valid.
Other insiders believe the tension is being exaggerated, possibly for the benefit of film marketing.
After all, there’s nothing like a little on-set drama to keep people talking before a big release.
