Author Colleen Hoover was once proud of her 2016 romance novel It Ends with Us — until Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, the stars of the 2024 film adaptation, turned on each other in dueling lawsuits.
Following the movie’s release, Lively, 38, sued Baldoni, accusing her co-star and director of sexual harassment and orchestrating a campaign to “destroy” her reputation. Baldoni, 41, soon fired back with a countersuit, accusing Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of attempting to “destroy” his reputation and career.
