Blake Lively has been under fire due to her rumored involvement in the controversies surrounding the film *It Ends With Us*. Now, her co-star Brandon Sklenar, who portrays Atlas Corrigan in the movie, has stepped up to defend her against the backlash.
Sklenar addressed the criticism in a lengthy Instagram post, taking a stand against the online negativity directed at Lively and others involved in the film. “I wanted to take a moment to address everything circulating online,” he wrote. “Colleen [Hoover] and the women of this cast stand for hope, perseverance, and for women making better choices for their lives.”
He said, “Attacking the women who have invested so much of their heart and soul into this project because they strongly believe in its message seems counterproductive. It detracts from the true essence of what this film represents.”
Sklenar also emphasized that the issues raised online contradict the film’s core message. “What may or may not have occurred behind the scenes should not, and hopefully will not, overshadow our intentions in creating this movie,” he noted. “It’s been discouraging to witness the level of negativity being spread online.”
Rumors of tension between Blake Lively and co-star Justin Baldoni during filming, combined with criticism that Lively prioritized her brand partnerships over the film’s promotion, sparked the controversy.
