All the clues pointing to Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's epic rift on It Ends With Us before sexual harassment bombshell
Share:
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni avoided each other on the red carpet and watched the It Ends With Us world premiere in separate cinemas - in the same building - during their pernicious promo-tour, MailOnline can reveal today. The co-stars failed to pose together outside New York City 's AMC Lincoln Square, at the UK premiere in London's Leicester Square and at the European gala in Copenhagen.

And full cast pictures were also abandoned amid rumours that the acting team had sided with Blake and were no longer speaking to him amid allegations about his behaviour on set. Blake Lively has been accused of trying to destroy Mr Baldoni, 40, the man who directed and starred in the movie, which made more than $350milllion worldwide in four months. She is suing him for sexual harassment and allegedly launching a smear campaign against her.

But there were signs that all was not well between them before the world premiere in New York on August 6 this year, with Lively, 37, and Baldoni not seen together during their entire promotional tour of the US and Europe either. There was also an extraordinary moment where he was pushed back when asked about whether there would be a sequel, which fans immediately said revealed a major rift.

Justin admitted there were 'tensions' on set and suggested that a sequel would only happen if Blake Lively directed it instead of him, even though he had already secured the rights to Colleen Hoover's It Starts With Us - the 2022 follow up to her 2016 novel It Ends With Us.
