Sony boss defends Blake Lively following It Ends With Us backlash

As a woman who has personally experienced domestic violence and understands the gravity of such themes, I wholeheartedly support Blake Lively for her role in “It Ends With Us.” The movie, though not without its flaws, sheds light on an important issue that needs to be talked about.


Note: the following article contains discussion of themes including domestic violence.

A Sony boss has defended Blake Lively following a social media backlash towards her.

In more accessible terms: The latest movie of the actress titled “It Ends With Us” has hit the screens, but there are some viewers online who feel that she hasn’t shown enough sincerity in addressing the movie’s topic of domestic violence during its promotion.

As a devoted admirer of Colleen Hoover’s work, I was utterly captivated by the movie adaptation that unfolds the story of Lily Bloom, a character brilliantly portrayed. In this harrowing tale, I found myself deeply ensnared in Lily’s heartrending ordeal as she endured an abusive relationship with Ryle Kincaid, skillfully played by Justin Baldoni.

As a passionate gamer, I’d rephrase that statement like this: “In response to the recent criticism towards Lively, the lead character in an upcoming Sony Pictures Entertainment production, their CEO, Tony Vinciquerra, has come forward to stand by her.”

He shared with The Hollywood Reporter that Blake, Colleen, and countless other women devoted tremendous energy to creating this exceptional film. From the outset, they worked tirelessly and selflessly to ensure that a sensitive topic was treated sensitively and respectfully.

“People are really enjoying the film. The dedication of Blake in sparking dialogue about domestic violence is truly admirable. It’s a pleasure collaborating with Blake, and we hope to create another twelve films together.”

As a gamer putting on my detective hat, there’s been some chatter about a potential rift between Lively and my co-star, Baldoni. For one, we haven’t done any joint interviews, and it’s noticeable that she and the rest of the cast don’t follow him on Instagram. Adding to the mystery, whispers of behind-the-scenes tension during post-production have been going around. But hey, I’m just sharing what I hear from the gaming world grapevine!

Baldoni himself recently admitted to “friction” on set, while not speaking on the rumours directly.

He shared with Elle UK that taking on both acting and directing for a project like this is quite demanding, he said. There were significant pressures involved in portraying the intricate character of Ryle, and, as a director, managing diverse personalities was also part of the challenge.

Each day on set brings its own set of occurrences. There’s invariably tension that arises during filmmaking such as this one. However, it is my firm belief that it’s precisely this tension that ultimately fosters the creation of breathtaking art at the end of the day.

The movie adaptation of “It Ends With Us” has been a success at the box office, earning $50 million in North America even with a mix of positive and negative critic reviews upon its debut.

It Ends With Us is out now in cinemas.
