Colleen Hoover’s silence fuels more drama in Justin Baldoni's legal battle
1. Colleen Hoover’s silence on Justin Baldoni lawsuit against Blake Lively raises eyebrows
Colleen Hoover, the bestselling author of It Ends with Us, who previously deactivated her Instagram account amidst the ongoing controversy between co-stars Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, is currently staying silent.
Her quiet stance has only fueled speculation surrounding the situation, with some theorizing that it might be tied to specific conditions in her book deal.
Baldoni and Lively, who worked together on a project set for release in August 2024, have become the focal point of a legal dispute after Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior on set. Initially, Hoover voiced her support for Lively via social media.
A popular conspiracy theory suggests that Hoover's silence could be a calculated move to regain the rights to It Ends with Us from Baldoni. The theory posits that Hoover might be able to reclaim her book’s rights if Baldoni faces serious allegations, such as sexual harassment, due to a clause in their contract.
Additionally, it speculates that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively could be interested in acquiring the rights from Baldoni and potentially developing a sequel based on Hoover's upcoming book, It Starts with Us.
