The ongoing legal battle surrounding the film “It Ends With Us” has taken a dramatic turn, leading fans to speculate that actor Brandon Sklenar may have shifted his allegiance from co-star Blake Lively to director Justin Baldoni. This speculation arises as Sklenar was recently spotted at the Vanity Fair Oscars party wearing a floral brooch reminiscent of one Baldoni had worn at the film’s premiere.

The proceedings in court today were marked by tension as Lively’s legal team sought to keep sensitive information, including private group chats involving high-profile friends like Taylor Swift, under wraps. With Swift potentially being called as a witness, Lively’s team is pushing for a protective order that would limit access to certain documents, designating them as “attorney’s eyes only.” The heated hearing lasted about an hour and a half, with a ruling expected in the coming days.

As Lively prepares to attend the premiere of “Another Simple Favor” at the South by Southwest Film and TV Festival, she has opted to forgo interviews, likely to maintain focus amidst the swirling controversy. Reflecting on her recent experiences shooting in Capri, she expressed a desire for significant life changes and a fresh start.

Sklenar’s earlier support for Lively seems to have cooled, with his recent actions prompting fans to question his loyalties. When asked about how he plans to support Lively during this tumultuous time, he offered a carefully measured response, emphasizing the importance of remembering the film’s core message.

As the story unfolds, the public remains keenly interested in the dynamics between the cast and their personal relationships amidst a backdrop of legal challenges. The coming days will likely shed more light on the intricate web of alliances and tensions surrounding this high-profile production.
