Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni’s drama may impact “End With Us” by author: Experts
Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel “Ind with Ind-Up” came to life in 2024, when Justin Baldoni and Black Lively ( Blake Lively) starred in the movie adaptation of the book.
But after the release of the movie, Bardoni and the lively legal war was something Hoover could not have expected, and in the round trip between the two stars, the writer disabled her Instagram account.
According to media reports, the author allegedly deleted photos from her profile, including the star of the film, and supported vividly despite a complaint against the 41-year-old Baldoni one day after the “Goggy Girl” star.
Since returning to her social status, fans have not only demanded an apology to Bardoni, but also threatened to boycott her future projects, which include with Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and A movie in Josh Hartnett’s movie.

It is not clear that Hoover’s upcoming works, including adaptations of the novel “Verity”, will be perceived by fans. Ryan McCormickGoldman McCormick PR’s reputation management expert and managing partner told Fox News Digital that only time will tell how Hoover’s fan base reacts.
“Anyway, I don’t think Hoover’s profession wouldn’t be affected by the war between Lively and Baldoni,” McCormick said. “She is an accomplished reader. The question to her followers is, ‘Are you going to abandon Colleen? Some people are in May, but I don’t think most people will.”
McCormick noted that Hoover’s best option is to “get rid of this intense event completely.”

“Don’t mention Lively or Baldoni for the foreseeable future,” he said.
In addition to “Verity”, the author also starred in “Sorry You” by Allison Williams, McKenna Grace and Dave Franco. McCormick suspects that despite the lively Baldoni drama, any star would be worried about working with Hoover.
“In any case, I don’t think Hoover’s profession would be affected by the war between Lively and Baldoni. She is an accomplished writer with a large number of readers.”
“If the public rebound is going to increase Hoover sharply, I can see some celebrity hesitation,” McCormick said. “But she has nothing to do with this Titanic clash.”

The fact that you have not apologized to JB is shocking, Shocking, shocking, shocking,” one fan wrote. “The most important tip! Say loudly. Acknowledge your mistakes. If you do, people will respect you more.”
Another user added: “Recently, all negative attention has felt a little stressed? You’re wrong, you can do at least.”

“She initially supported Blake Lively, but has since backed down,” Us said. “If she didn’t keep a neutral stance, this could affect future projects. There is no need to be a complete apology, but a public statement is made Clarifying her neutrality might help. Best look.”
“If she doesn’t maintain a neutral stance, this could affect future projects. There is no need to apologize, but a public statement clarifies her neutrality may help.”
When it comes to Hoover’s career, Uthe is not too concerned about what she thinks is a “personal mistake.”
“It seems more like a personal mistake than a long-term career problem,” Us said. “She is likely to be swept by Blake and Ryan’s Hollywood charm, but at the end of the day, she wants to make a good movie.”
