https://twitter.com/DailyMail/status/1825050718484468111 -A Source tells all on what happened on the set of " It ends with us".
-Lively 'wasn’t mean - she was just so effortlessly rude,' the source confided.
There 'wasn't outward feuding or fighting' but the 36-year-old actress was 'so extraordinarily opiniated' and 'had really strong feelings about things' that it caused great stress and tension on the set. "I got this impression from Justin that he was just really, really stressed and fatigued about this constant inability to control the project he was making… so much so that when you’d ask him questions, he'd be like, "Well just ask Blake"… because when Blake got there she would have a lot of really strong thoughts and feelings.’
-On the first day back from shooting - after production had been waylaid by nine months of writer's strike, workers on set were desperate - dipping into their 401Ks, losing their houses, etc. The insider felt it was 'tone deaf' for Lively to bring her kids to set that day so they could set up a booth to raise money for 'sick kids and horses' amid the crew's own struggles.
‘There's nothing bad about having your kids be a part of your workplace, or having your kids be interested in activism… but it's hard not to have it feel insulting and performative.’
On the other side of the rumored beef... the source claims that Baldoni, 40, was just as difficult to deal with on set. 'Justin is very similar to her [Lively] in that he needs to be the smartest person in the room' the insider revealed.
He reportedly had a sty on his eyelid for most of the shoot - and forced camera crews to re-block filming to avoid it.
‘I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of the visual effects budget was dedicated to editing it out,' the source said.
Baldoni's brand, they said, is that he is a 'performative feminist' - and he even wrote a book titled 'Undefining Masculinity.'
