Robyn Lively Comes to Blake Lively’s Defense in Midst of ‘It Ends With Us’ Controversy

Amid ongoing criticism surrounding Blake Lively’s latest film “It Ends With Us,” her sister Robyn Lively has come to her defense. The “Gossip Girl” star, who recently marked her 37th birthday with a celebration surrounded by A-list friends, has been facing a challenging press tour leading up to the film’s release.

Reports of creative differences on set and claims of Blake making “mean girl” comments, as old interview clips resurfaced online, have contributed to the negative buzz surrounding the movie.

Robyn’s defense of her sister came in response to a fan’s comment on her social media post honoring Blake’s birthday. The fan expressed admiration for Blake, calling her a lovely human being, and emphasized the love she receives from her fans outweighs the negativity.

Grateful for the supportive message, Robyn thanked the fan and shared a heartfelt birthday message for her sister, referring to Blake as her best friend and expressing her love and admiration.

The sisters, both daughters of talent manager Elaine Lively, have been under scrutiny since the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel hit the big screen. Rumors of creative differences between Blake and the film’s director and leading man, Justin Baldoni, have circulated.

Additionally, Blake faced backlash over past interviews, including an incident where she made a snarky comment to a journalist who mistakenly congratulated her on a pregnancy. The actress has also been criticized for using transgender slurs in previous interviews.

Recent reports have suggested that Blake was “impatient” on set during the filming of the movie, leading to tension among the cast. This impatience allegedly extended to disagreements with co-star Justin Baldoni over the final edit of the film.

Despite the controversies surrounding the film, Blake was recently photographed sharing a kiss with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, at a pool party hosted by Taylor Swift. The star-studded event included celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, and Patrick and Brittany Mahomes.
