Tensions are rising behind the scenes of the hit film "It Ends With Us" as Blake Lively reportedly claims Justin Baldoni's behavior on set made her uncomfortable.

Sources close to the production revealed to TMZ, two specific incidents that contributed to Lively's discomfort.   

Firstly, during preparation for a scene requiring Baldoni to lift Lively, he allegedly inquired about her weight to his trainer, causing her to feel fat-shamed. This incident was particularly sensitive considering Lively had recently given birth to her fourth child. Secondly, Lively felt uneasy during a kissing scene with Baldoni, alleging that he lingered longer than necessary, creating an awkward and uncomfortable situation.

These allegations surface amidst existing rumors of a feud between the two actors. While some crew members have defended Baldoni, claiming the situation is being exaggerated for publicity, others maintain that there was genuine tension on set. The situation is further complicated by reports that Lively commissioned her own cut of the film, hinting at creative differences between her and Baldoni.   

The controversy surrounding the film has undeniably drawn more attention to "It Ends With Us." However, it also raises important questions about creating a safe and respectful working environment on film sets, particularly when dealing with sensitive subjects like domestic abuse.
