Blake Lively 'will NOT' publicly address her 'feud' with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni

Blake Lively has no plans to publicly address the rumored feud between her and It Ends With Us co-star/director Justin Baldoni.

The 36-year-old actress — who recently snubbed a fan on the red carpet — is reportedly trying to put the tension with Baldoni, 40, behind her, per TMZ.

The mother-of-four, who is married to Ryan Reynolds, is choosing to focus on her other castmates and her family.

Justin felt 'hurt and sidelined' by Blake — his onscreen love interest — while starring and directing the film adaption of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel, which has the same name as the feature film.

And Lively allegedly felt 'fat-shamed' by him on set and was uncomfortable with a kissing scene in which she believed he 'lingered' for longer than necessary.

From 'day one' insiders claim there was tension between the filmmakers.

It only escalated throughout the making of their movie, which crossed the $100 million mark at the global box office in its first week.

'There were two camps on the film — team Blake and team Justin. This creative struggle set the tone for the negative experience behind the scenes and grew into them not speaking anymore,' a source told Us Weekly.

The insider continued: '[Justin] was made to feel that his vision wasn’t as important as Blake’s, and it stifled the creativity on set.'

He is also said to have taken it personally that Lively made various script and wardrobe changes 'often without consulting' him.

A second person close to the situation, however, insisted that 'any changes or input by Blake was to create the best film possible and honor the book.'

'Blake was a producer and worked closely with Colleen and other female team members on set. Without [Justin’s] input does not mean [she went] behind his back,' it was noted.

TMZ reported that the 'fat-shaming' Blake felt stemmed from preparation for a scene in which Baldoni lifted her into the air.

Insiders told the outlet that Baldoni suffers from back problems and sought assistance from a trainer prior to the scene.

Baldoni allegedly asked the trainer how much Lively weighed and asked for help preparing his back to avoid incurring an injury.

Amid the swirling rumors, Baldoni hired a crisis public relations firm to represent him.

He has turned to PR crisis manager Melissa Nathan for help, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

And People magazine reported the rift also includes the principal cast of the film and Hoover.
