The Celebrity Beat…

I really tried to ignore this nonsense, but it simply will not go away.  So we might as well address it… as quickly as possible.

There have been tons of rumors about Blake Lively having a feud with Justin Baldoni, her director and co-star on the hit movie “It Ends with Us”.  And a new report says fat-shaming is at least part of the reason.

A source says they were about to film a scene where Justin had to lift Blake, and he asked an on-set trainer how much she weighed.  Supposedly, he has a history of back problems, and just wanted to be ready.

But Blake found out about it and she wasn’t happy, especially since she’d recently had a baby.

Blake was also reportedly upset about a kiss she thought went on too long.

At least one report says that A LOT of people on the set didn’t enjoy working with Baldoni, who actually hired a PR crisis firm this week.  There’s talk that he might not return to direct or star in the sequel, “It Starts with Us”.

At the same time, there’s also talk that Blake is no picnic and may even be kind of a MEAN GIRL.  One reporter shared a clip of an interview she did with Blake and Parker Posey back in 2016.

She said the women were so awkward and unpleasant, it made her want to quit her job.

Blake has also been getting flak for the “cutesy” way she’s promoting the movie.  Some people object to her less-than-serious tone, given that the movie is about domestic violence.
