Sony Pictures, the cinematic powerhouse behind It Ends With Us, has come gallantly riding in to defend its leading lady, Blake Lively, amid her ongoing lawsuit against the filmโs director, Justin Baldoni. And no, this isnโt the plot twist from a deleted sceneโitโs real-life drama!
Apparently, the saga began back in August 2024 when Sonyโs CEO first jumped into the fray, standing up for Blake against a wild social media trolling campaign. Because in Hollywood, the internet loves nothing more than a good pile-on, even if the target happens to be one of its favorite blondes.
Fast forward to December 23, and Sony has doubled down on its loyalty like a loyal best friend in a teen movie. In a statement so serious it probably wore a suit and tie, a spokesperson told Variety:
โWe have previously expressed our support for Blake in connection with her work on and for the film. We fully and firmly reiterate that support today,โ said the spokesperson, likely while sipping a triple-shot espresso. โFurther, we strongly condemn any reputational attacks on her. Any such attacks have no place in our business or in a civil society.โ Translation: Stop throwing virtual tomatoes, people!
Meanwhile, Blakeโs co-star Brandon Sklenar has also chimed in, standing by her side. Itโs nice to see the cast coming together off-screen too, though someone should probably write all of this into a sequel.
So, whatโs next in this unfolding Hollywood drama? Stay tunedโit might just involve more plot twists than the actual movie.
