Justin Baldoni, talking about ITWU: the question shouldn't be 'Why did she stay', it should be 'Why did he do that'

Plantation Barbie: ohhh i love the concept, Deadpool, the flowers, the wardrobe, Ryan, did i mention my rings? My hair care brand? Oh did i mention my husband? Hahaha I'm so funny jokey joke. The girlies should have a big party, rom com, my man, thankyou to my man

Justin baldoni decided to adapt It Ends With Us because he thought that stories about domestic violence, and specifically escaping and life beyond domestic violence deserved to be platformed.

Instead of being supported, he’s been mean girl’d by the cast; that’s treating the film like its this cutesy rom com : and I think this rly encapsulates everything that’s wrong with the book, and the fanbase it’s amassed

The way that the cast (with the exception of Justin Baldoni) of It Ends With Us is handling the actual story is so disheartening and gross. It Ends With Us is the recountment of a domestic violence survivor, a story about her and her abuser. It’s not a “fun” “funny” “movie with hot boys and girls” story (Blake Lively’s actual words to describe the film), it’s a story about the nuances of DV, and the hope that you can end the generational trauma. Ryle IS Lily Bloom’s abuser and a perpetrator. He is NOT a male romantic interest in a romance novel, he is an abuser. Lily Bloom falling in love with Ryle and narrating it shows us how difficult it is to leave that type of relationship, how we ignore the red flags because of the feelings and complexities of it all. Like viewers and readers need to understand that.

STOP ROMANTICIZING THIS STORY PLEASE

Tried to be the new Barbie, ended up as the new Don’t Worry Darling

[stfulara]

all this fiasco around 'it ends with us' has made me lose the love I had for Blake Lively- dude branding a movie abt DV as the romcom of the year is just sick and twisted and promoting your new brand instead of actually taking about the issue what are we 2???? lol they even mean girl-ed Justin Baldoni who actually wants to talk about the real issue here- and there's this deadpool x wolverine x it ends with us drama

the fact that young adults would actually romanticize this shitshow is so disheartening, normalizing domestic violence is NOT OKAY

[cevansgoodgirl]

I’m not gonna talk about Blake lively because everyone is doing it and there’s nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said.

But I will talk about Justin Baldoni. Justin Baldoni is probably one of the only men in the movie making industry that has ever put women first. Not for his own personal gain but to empower women. To tell their stories and experiences.

He did a TED talk years ago that I’ll never forget when the Me Too movement was happening. Where he talks about how women and statistics say it’s not a matter of “if” women being assaulted whether it be sexually, emotionally, physically happens, it’s a matter of “when”. He is a man who knows that women simply existing in this world have to live with this fear of this type of reality. He spoke up and it’s always stuck with me.

Not only that but the projects he’s been involved in? That he’s directed ? Never were about HIM. Or what he can do, what fucking brand he has or any shit like that. His stories he told were about the people directly inspired by them.

Five feet apart - Claire Wineland- dedicated and inspired by her. Brought awareness for cystic fibrosis. Still gives and bring awareness to the organization that helps people and families with this disease.



Clouds- zach sobiech’s story of a kid with terminal cancer diagnosis of osteosarcoma., who wanted to make music. Met Justin years before the movie and changed Justin’s life.

The man is bringing awareness to these things AND TOXIC MALE MASCULINITY!?!? The man enough podcast? The book? Where he talks about not only his experiences but is bringing awareness for MEN

God bless this man. Everything he does and works on speaks for itself. He is a selfless man who is telling different stories in the most real way possible. Not Sugar coating a DV movie about it being rainbows and lollipops and sunshine and to get your florals and go see the movie like it’s the fucking notebook.

He wanted it to be as real as possible. To the point where he literally feels sick or disgusted with the character he played because of how he had to ACT. The man is a god send.

YOU CAN NEVER MAKE ME HATE JUSTIN BALDONI

THE HOUSE BUNNY (2008) dir. Fred Wolf

[trashhmuffinn]

You know I never got the hype around Ryan Reynolds and being the most handsome man and Blake lively being this Kween™️ even during their most successful years (think gossip girl and crazy stupid love) but now I get why I was never into them and always felt their vibe was off

It’s because THEY ARE TONE FUCKING DEAF

It ends with us is NOT about ‘grabbing your girlies’ and ‘wearing your florals’ it’s about domestic abuse which is a very serious issue affecting not just one person but entire generations

I cannot believe how fucking stupid the PR team is and how fucking dumb Blake Lively is

I am the last person to call a woman dumb but MY GOD MAAM you have made NO EFFORT to understand this project

Justin Baldoni I love you and thank you for all that you are doing

[everythingisspokenfortbh]

Imagine if the promo for The Fault in Our Stars was all Shailene Woodley talking about being “single and thriving”, “girl power” and “you don’t need no man!! 💃🏻🪩🌸💐”

[shuadi99]

People pls. Amber Heard and Blake Lively cannot be compared.

JB hiring a PR company (who has previously managed johnny depp) especially in light of the extremely toxic mean girl smear campaign against him is just him choosing a good PR company that can do the job from his side (he is literally alone on one side while the cast is on the other). It is just like people hiring the services of a lawyer, a lawyer can have represented many people including some morally questionable ones but that's because everyone has a right of legal representation and that is literally his job. That

a) doesn't define him and

b) doesn't define his future clients.

He will be hired cause he is good at his job.

Now coming to calling Blake Lively being called out, I get it, she has been your favourite for a long long time, but can you really not see the absolute tone deafness in all her statements. You cannot claim to be a girl's girl without holding people responsible accountable. She is undermining a major issue faced by centuries of women, she is downplaying a serious movie to have her moments with her brand and husband and if all you can see is "oh a woman is being called out" instead of "oh an influential person, who has played a central role in a movie about an imp. topic of conversation, is being held accountable for being tone deaf" then maybe you need to have a relook on your strong clenched beliefs.

Don't blame a man for being a better feminist than the woman he worked with. It can be the case, it is the case here even though we wished it wasn't. It's a great time to check your unchallenged love for celebrities is all I can say.

IT ENDS WITH US (2024) dir. Justin Baldoni

[behindthesefangirleyes]

I’m gonna level with you. Everything I’ve heard about It Ends With Us and the promo for it was learned against my will. The he-said-she-said is frankly irrelevant to me.

However

He could be the biggest jackass in the world and there’s no version of this where it isn’t absolutely shameful how she’s promoted this movie.

I may absolutely hate Rafael, but I've heard nothing but overwhelmingly positive things about Justin Baldoni. One of my friends absolutely loves him and told me YEARS ago he was doing community work on Skid Row in LA, which is incredibly rare for a celebrity. He genuinely seems committed to the issue of DV during his press tour, unlikely the rest of the cast. I'm team Justin on this one.
