At the premiere, Justin was conspicuously missing from group photos , and recent snaps show him in what seems to be a heated chat with Lively. Fans have been speculating about the tense relationships as many of his co-stars do not follow him on social media.
In reaction to the chaos, it's thought that Justin has turned to experienced PR crisis manager Melissa Nathan. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Justin has enlisted the help of The Agency Group, a firm specializing in communications, reputation management, and personal publicity.
This move comes after allegations from an insider who claimed that Justin, also the director of the film, made Blake feel "uncomfortable" on set and created an "extremely difficult" environment behind the scenes. The source, speaking to Page Six, alleged that Blake faced criticism over her postpartum body after giving birth to her fourth child, Olin, just before filming started.
Another source told TMZ that Baldoni reportedly "asked how much she weighed" before a scene in which he lifts Lively's in the air. When Lively found out about his question, she reportedly felt like he "fat-shamed" her.
"It's not just Blake. None of the cast enjoyed working with Justin ...They certainly didn't talk to him at the premiere," a source spilled. The New York City premiere of their film only served to fuel rumours of tension.
Onlookers pointed out that Justin wasn't snapped in group shots with his fellow actors and chose instead to strike a pose solo alongside his missus Emily Baldoni. Word has it that Justin and Blake even watched the flick in separate movie houses.
In the picture, Blake and Justin play Lily Bloom and Ryle Kincaid Lily's got a past marred by an abusive childhood and moves to Boston aiming for a fresh start with her flower shop.
Once she's settled, she takes a shine to Ryle and ends up in a toxic love that's all too familiar, echoing the violent relationship her mam endured when Lily was a kid.
