The premiere of the 2024 film calendar, It Ends with Us, has attracted a lot of attention, but not only for its content. Meanwhile, there has reportedly been a dispute between the film's lead actress and producer, Blake Lively, and director Justin Baldoni. Neither of them have publicly confirmed that there was any kind of conflict between them, although rumors have swirled in the meantime. Lively has remained silent amid the personal backlash she has faced. Now, he's shared his first full Instagram post since the BTS drama.
Blake Lively's IG update was a plug for her Blake Brown Beauty line and specifically announced the brand's All-In-wONEder potion. The post included several photos of the actress herself, who was wearing only blue jeans and a brown jacket while holding the potion. In her caption, she also made a joke about the brand, poking fun at her own outfit and messy hairstyle. You can check out his post below:
It's certainly an eye-catching look and is a great way to mark your first regular Instagram post in no time. Aside from that, the 37-year-old mother of four also took to her IG Story to promote the product. It was there that he also shared one of the photos from the post above along with a short message:
Shirtless. No hair brush. No problem.
All in all, the A Simple Favor star seems to be betting not only on this Blake Brown Beauty product but also on her appearance. Fans also seem to be here to check out the top Instagram post, as, as of this writing, it has racked up over 770,000 likes. I can't say for sure if that would indicate that fans have been missing Ms. Lively's usual content over the past month. However, it's a lot of social media engagement to receive after the alleged dispute surrounding his latest film.
In August, during the It Ends with Us press tour, fans began to notice that Justin Baldoni, who was also one of the film's co-stars, was conducting interviews separately from the rest of the cast. At the time, it was rumored that there was a conflict between Baldoni and Blake Lively, due to the latter supposedly commissioning an alternate version of the film during the post-production process. Lively also spoke about disagreements on set, although she did not specifically mention Baldoni by name.
It Ends with Us is currently available for purchase on VOD, a release that Justin Baldoni celebrated. The film will also be available on DVD and Blu-ray on November 5, 2024.
