The drama surrounding the film “It Ends With Us” has taken a toll on actor Brandon Sklenar, who appeared alongside Blake Lively in the movie. Sklenar expressed his disappointment at the negativity surrounding the film and the vilification of the women who worked on it.
The film, which also stars Justin Baldoni, has sparked controversy over its depiction of domestic violence. Despite being one of the most successful box office films in the US this year, it has received mixed reviews, with some critics calling it a “car crash” and accusing it of repackaging domestic violence as slick romance.
Sklenar took to Instagram to defend the film and its message, stating that everyone involved was aware of the responsibility they had in addressing issues of generational trauma and domestic abuse. He emphasized the importance of spreading love and awareness, rather than perpetuating negativity.
The actor also addressed rumors of a rift between Lively and Baldoni, hinting at speculation that arose when they were not pictured together on the red carpet. Sklenar urged fans to focus on the film’s intentions and the positive impact it can have on viewers.
While some critics have questioned Lively’s promotion of the film and her focus on other business ventures, Sklenar and the rest of the cast have reiterated their commitment to raising awareness about domestic violence. They stand for hope, perseverance, and empowerment for women choosing a better life for themselves.
In the midst of the controversy, Sklenar disabled comments on his post and called for a message of love and kindness to prevail over hate on the internet. He encouraged fans to be part of a new narrative that uplifts women and all individuals.
As the discussion around “It Ends With Us” continues, Blake Lively’s representatives have been contacted for comment. For those affected by the issues raised in the film, support is available through the BBC Action Line. Stay tuned for updates on this evolving story.
