" The truth has n’t amount out yet . It ’s going to . "
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard at least a little bit about the controversy surrounding the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bookIt Ends with Us.
The film focuses on a florist named Lily Bloom (Blake Lively) as she navigates an abusive relationship with Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni). The main theme of the movie is the generational cycle of domestic violence, flashing back to Lily’s youth when her father abused her mother.
Rumors of afeudbetween Blake and Justin, who is also the film’s director, began after social media users noted that Blake and Colleen do not follow Justin on Instagram. Blake and Colleen were photographed together at the movie’s premiere and did several press interviews together, while Justin did both solo.

Needless to say, there’s a lot of mess surrounding this film.
And now Blake’s brother-in-law Bart Johnson has stepped into the picture to defend Blake.
Earlier this week, Bartshareda video tribute for Blake’s birthday on Instagram with a heartfelt caption. “When I grow up I wanna be just like her. I’ve got a long ways to go. LOVE YOU BLAKE!!!” he wrote.
An Instagram usercommentedon the post, saying, “Shame she’s so set on promoting happiness in a domestic violence setting without any regard for any victims. Disappointing from Blake but also disappointing that daddy Bolton supports it”
TheHigh School Musicalactor quickly came to Blake’s defense, saying, “Ellen I’m really sorry you feel that way. I’m sure you have a huge heart and want the best. I can promise you the truth has not come out yet. Blake worked harder on this film than anything I’ve seen her do my entire life. Because it meant so much to her. The message is in the book. And in the movie. Not in short clips / interviews. She is the reason the message / this movie/ is getting out. Were mistakes made? Yes. I make mistakes in life. But they aren’t under a microscope. Anyway, I respect your views. I got nothing but love for you. ❤️”
The Instagram user left a kind thank you to Bart saying, “thanks for your lovely comment. Lots of love♥️” and Bart replied, “thanks for that kind response Ellen to that Ellen. Means a lot. ❤️❤️ The truth hasn’t come out yet. It’s going to.”
Sadly, it looks like this drama won’t be ending any time soon…
