Brandon Sklenar chooses a side in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s controversy

Brandon Sklenar spoke about the disagreement between his co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni from the movie “It Ends With Us”. In an interview on CBS Mornings, a reporter inquired if he favored one over the other during their ongoing legal dispute. Instead of picking sides publicly, Sklenar humorously stated, “I’m on Team It Ends With Us.

Sklenar emphasized that the core message of It Ends With Us ought to be the central point of attention. In his own words, “I simply want folks to recall our initial motivation for making this film and what it represents, and to always keep the spotlight on that.

Apart from discussing the story’s artistic merits, Sklenar also revealed a personal connection to it. This stems from the fact that someone dear to him experienced situations analogous to Lily, Lively’s character in the movie. As he put it, “Performing in this film provided her the courage to transform her life.” Additionally, he expressed frustration over the way the movie’s message has been overshadowed by controversy.

The legal dispute arose in December 2024 when Lively made accusations of sexual harassment against Baldoni. She claimed instances of inappropriate behavior during filming and a subsequent smear campaign against her. In response, Baldoni countered with a lawsuit filed in January 2025, charging Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and others with defamation and civil extortion.
