Blake Lively is back in the spotlight and has decided to grace us with her thoughts following the epic debut of her new film, *It Ends With Us*. Imagine Blake, as cool as ever, sliding into your Insta Stories with a virtual confetti cannon and a giant βTHANK YOU!β sign for everyone who made it out to the theaters.
In her Insta rantβsorry, I mean heartfelt messageβBlake took a moment to do a happy dance and thank all her fans for checking out the film. She also played the role of a digital superhero by dropping some seriously important resources for anyone dealing with domestic violence.
Blakeβs Instagram was not just a gratitude fest, though. Oh no, she also shared a BBC interview where she dived deep into how domestic violence is tackled in the film. Hereβs where it gets interesting: βThank you to everyone who showed up to prove that people actually want to watch movies about women and the rollercoaster ride of emotions they experience,β Blake declared. βIt Ends With Us is basically a saga of the female conditionβthink of it as a Netflix binge-worthy mix of elation, despair, and everything in between. And guess what? Weβre super proud of it!β
She continued, βWeβve been partying over this film and spreading its message far and wide. Thanks for embracing *It Ends With Us* with all the love, agony, and giggles we had while making it.β
Blake didnβt stop there; she dropped a link to her BBC chat. βThis film tackles domestic violence, but letβs be real, itβs not just about being a survivor or a victim. Sure, those are big deals, but they donβt define you. No one gets to slap a label on you, and certainly not an event or someoneβs bad behavior. Youβre the CEO of defining yourself. We think weβve delivered a story thatβs like life itself: emotional, fun, hilarious, painful, terrifying, tragic, and inspiring all at once.β
And because Blakeβs got your back, she included some vital info for anyone who might need it. β1 in 4 women aged 18 and older in the US have experienced severe physical violence from a partner at some point. Domestic violence isnβt pickyβit affects all genders and impacts more than 12 million people annually in the US. Everyone deserves a relationship free from this stuff. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is open 24/7, every day of the year. Click the link or text βSMARTβ to 88788 for immediate help.β
