'It Ends with Us' Jenny Slate's telling response to question on working with Justin Baldoni

It Ends With Us star Jenny Slate seems to be living by the old adage: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”

While at the It Ends With Us premiere in New York on Tuesday, Jenny opened up to Deadline about the new movie, successfully dodging a particular question regarding its director Justin Baldoni . Justin wasn’t just a director, but he also had a leading role in the film along with Jenny and Blake Lively . When the interviewer asked Jenny what it was like having Justin as a co-star and director, the actress seemingly circumvented the question.

“What an intense job to have to do so many things,” Jenny said. “...I really just want to have one job at once.”

Rather than directly replying to what was being asked, which essentially was what it was like to work with Justin, she drifted onto a tangent, revealing how much she “liked” writing.

“It’s special to be able to be a writer…but I’m good with just acting,” Jenny added. The clip of her speaking to the news publication on the red carpet has begun gaining traction on X, formerly Twitter. Some on the social media platform thought that Jenny’s evasion proved that the reported It Ends With Us behind-the-scenes drama existed.

“Oh, something went down on that set and among the cast,” one wrote on X. Another agreed, “Looks like there was some drama on that set and among the cast.” A third person claimed, “I was at the NYC screening and the entire cast was there except for him - and he was in NYC! Something happened”

Justin has seemingly been subtly distancing himself from the ongoing rumors of drama revolving around the movie, more specifically him and Blake. Internet investigators noticed that Justin was distant from the movie’s cast while at the film’s New York City premiere.

While there, Entertainment Tonight interviewed Justin, who asked him if he would also be helming the sequel after directing the first. "I think that there are better people for that one," he said. "I think Blake Lively's ready to direct, that's what I think.

Justin didn’t seem to mind not being the center of attention at the event either, telling ET: "This isn't my night — this is a night for all the women who we made this movie for."

He added: “This is a night for Blake, this is a night for Colleen. I'm just so grateful that we're here, five years in the making."
