Brandon Sklenar came to the defense of It Ends With Us, its author, and his co-star Blake Lively amidst ongoing rumors about behind-the-scenes conflict and criticism over how a movie about domestic abuse was marketed.
Sklenar stated that author Colleen Hoover, who wrote the novel the film is based on, and the women of the film’s cast - Blake Lively, Jenny Slate, Isabela Ferrer, and Amy Morton - “stand for hope, perseverance, and for women choosing a better life for themselves.”
He continued: “Vilifying the women who put so much of their heart and soul into making this film because they believe so strongly in its message seems counterproductive and detracts from what this film is about. It is, in fact, the opposite of the point. What may or may not have happened behind the scenes does not and hopefully should not detract from what our intentions were in making this film. It’s been disheartening to see the amount of negativity being projected online.”
