Actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have announced they’ve reached a settlement following a dispute tied to the film It Ends With Us.
In a joint statement, both sides emphasized that the movie remains “a source of pride” and highlighted its central mission of raising awareness around domestic violence and survivor support.
“The end product… is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life,” the statement read, adding that the project aimed to create “meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors.”
The statement also acknowledged that the process behind the film “presented challenges,” and noted that concerns raised by Lively “deserved to be heard.”
While specific details of the dispute were not publicly disclosed, the resolution signals a mutual effort to move forward and refocus attention on the film’s message rather than behind-the-scenes conflict.
Both Lively and Baldoni reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining professional, respectful workplaces, stressing the importance of environments free from misconduct or disruption.
They also addressed the online response surrounding the situation, expressing hope that the settlement would encourage a more respectful tone in public discourse, especially on social media where speculation and criticism had intensified.
The film itself, based on the bestselling novel, has drawn attention not just for its cast but for its sensitive subject matter, which centers on abusive relationships and survivor experiences.
With the dispute now resolved, the focus is expected to shift back to the film’s release, reception, and its broader impact on conversations around domestic violence awareness.
