Blake Lively has made her first public appearance since her new film It Ends with Us controversy. The actress has been in the news for the past two weeks. It all started when she was spotted not promoting the film alongside its director and star, Justin Baldoni. Sources close to her later revealed that Blake had creative disagreements with Baldoni during filming and editing. Blake reportedly changed the script and costumes without consulting Justin, and then, because she was unhappy with the final cut, she paid for another cut of the film out of her own pocket.

A source told Page Six that Blake Lively was upset when Justin Baldoni commented on her appearance on set – when she had just given 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to her fourth 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥. However, another source said that Justin had a history of back pain, so he asked Lively about her weight before filming the holding scene.

The story doesn’t end there, as Blake has faced backlash for her promotion of the film. According to Stuff , in interviews earlier this month she avoided discussing the film’s theme of domestic violence. Instead, the actress is said to have used the film’s promotion to promote her hair care and wine brands.

Several other interviews from Blake Lively’s past were brought up, where she was accused of making inappropriate jokes about morning sickness and pregnancy cravings or making lewd comments about a female journalist’s midsection.

A source revealed to Dailymail , Blake Lively is very sad and worried about being criticized. “She thought this was her time to shine but now it feels like the end of her career. Blake is afraid that no one will want to work with her in the future. She really wants to continue producing, directing and acting but is thinking about taking a step back to evaluate the future.”

Blake Lively serves as producer and lead actress in It Ends with Us , playing Lily Bloom, a Boston woman torn between her love for an abusive neurosurgeon and her high school sweetheart. The film, which cost $25 million to produce, has grossed $242.6 million worldwide after three weeks in theaters.
