Reported drama behind the scenes of the blockbuster movie It Ends With Us has fired up the gossip world. Subsequently, during the film’s red-carpet premiere, the movie’s star and director, Justin Baldoni, didn’t appear to interact with the star-studded cast, including Blake Lively, Brandon Sklenar, and Jenny Slate, leading to rumors of discord. Body language expert Darren Stanton weighs in on the rumors that Baldoni and Lively are feuding.

At the red carpet premiere of It Ends With Us, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, didn’t interact with each other. This observation came after chatter that there were difficulties on the set of the Colleen Hoover book-adapted drama.

Body language expert Darren Staton spoke exclusively to Showbiz Cheat Sheet and shared his thoughts about the trouble between Lively and Baldoni. Together, they played the heroine Lily and villain Ryle in the film.

“Is there a feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni? However, neither main star has been seen together in recent interviews and red-carpet events. They’ve both said very nice things about each other,” Stanton began of their relationship.

However, he did note that the stars acted as if there was trouble between them without addressing the topic directly. “I’ve noticed with Blake, she’s very professional,” Stanton began.

“And I’ve noticed when she’s asked a question about her relationship with him, and she does a thing in psychology known as ‘linguistic deflection.’ Furthermore, this means she answers a different question, so she avoids the subject. For me, that’s a big red flag that she doesn’t

Subsequently, Stanton claimed, “When it comes to Justin, we see lots of stress indicators of the fact that all was not well on the set. And by the end of the shoot, it seems clear there was lots of anger and stress in his facial muscles.”

Stanton concluded, “When he was asked about a sequel he also flashed a part surprise, part disbelief micro expression which is a fleeting of a real emotion. Thus, in my opinion, we won’t see these two work together for quite some time.”

In an interview with Hits Radio UK in a video published Aug. 10, Blake Lively said there were some creative differences while making the movie. However, she didn’t specify any issues with Baldoni directly

Lively produced the film with Baldoni, Alex Saks, Jamey Heath, and Christy Hall. Thus, she recounted one particular moment where she stood her ground regarding the use of the Lana Del Rey song “Cherry” in the film.

“They begged me to take that song out of the movie,” Lively explained. She added, “I’m not supposed to be talking about this. They felt like it was too charged and heavy.”

“Things are still good with Ryle at that point,” she explained. “So you don’t want to feel that charge.”

“The moment Atlas

enters,” she explained, “things are charged and heavy. There’s conflict, pain, turmoil, and tension.”

“Because you’re like, ‘Oh my god, my soulmate, the one that got away in my life, this person who’s haunting me and everything I do and everywhere I go is here now, and we still had that connection,’” Lively concluded.

Justin Baldoni praised Blake Lively, but she saved her kudos for husband Ryan Reynolds

In an interview with Today to promote It Ends With Us, Justin Baldoni praised Blake Lively, calling her “smart and creative. I think she’s best known as an actor, and of course, she’s a fashion icon, but she is so much more than that.”

Subsequently, Baldoni continued, “She is a dynamic, creative. She had her hands in every part of this production, and everything she touched, she made better.”

In turn, Lively praised her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for writing the iconic scene where Lily meets her love interest, Ryle, on the rooftop of his building, and they exchange some flirty banter back and forth.

“The iconic rooftop scene, my husband actually wrote it,” she told E! News at the premiere.

“Nobody knows that. He works on everything I do,” she concluded. “I work on everything he does. So his wins, his celebrations are mine, and mine are his.”
