Brandon Sklenar, who plays Atlas Corrigan in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 'It Ends With Us,' is addressing the online negativity surrounding the movie. He has taken to social media to defend Hoover, star Blake Lively, and the other women involved in the film's creation.
Sklenar expressed his disappointment with the online criticism, highlighting that the film's message of hope, perseverance, and women choosing better lives for themselves is being overshadowed. He emphasized that any behind-the-scenes issues should not detract from the film's important intentions.
Rumors of a feud between director Justin Baldoni and Lively have been circulating, fueled by their absence together during the press tour. However, Sklenar stressed the cast and crew's awareness of the responsibility they had in portraying sensitive topics like generational trauma and domestic abuse.
He believes the film should inspire, validate, and instill hope, ultimately spreading love and awareness. He urged the audience to move beyond blaming women and focus on the film's positive message.
Despite the controversy, the film has been successful, crossing $100 million at the domestic box office. Baldoni has even hired a crisis PR management team to navigate the situation.
