It Ends with Us

Hello everyone, how are you? If you ask me, how am I? Oh, I don’t know what to say, but let’s say that we are fine for now; here we are inside the topic of the year and maybe of the next year too, the hot news, the exciting news;

Yes, I know you figured out what I’ll talk about in this post okay, if you still didn’t get it, I’ll tell you, but first, let’s grab our coffee or any drink you prefer and dive into our topic…

Still asking, we will talk about the topic of the year, of course not the movie, but the main actress of the film, and all the news out there about her and about her co-star and a lot more; believe me when I say this, this one is new for me and I never knew that one of the actresses I like the most be like that in her personality…

I think we have all read or heard about the news about Blake Lively, 1st, I have loved Blake since 1st time watching here on Gossip Girls, I’m someone who doesn’t like to read or see news about actors and actresses, and not interested in it, who married who, who divorced who, or who got pregnant or whatever, all the news I care about in any actor I love is what’s the next movie and when?!

I was so excited about Blake’s new movie ” It Ends with Us” I hadn’t read the novel yet, so I didn’t know anything about its topic, and before knowing that Blake would at in this one, I saw stories in Colleen Hoover’s Instagram that she made a nail polish line for it Ends with us book and another book; so, I thought that the book might be a rom-com or Drama-Romance story or something!!!

Then I saw Blake announcing the movie and after a while the marketing campaign, the PR, and the movie premiere, and all I see is flowers and kisses and hugs, even the trailer wasn’t looking like it would be something else completely; you see Blake telling people to wear flourish and enjoy the movie with their friends, Her Husband Ryan got an interview with her co-star Brandon Sklenar and have fun and even Hugh Jackman joined that funny interview; so, what you will think is that this movie is romantic; but, you know now how I was like when I knew the truth, like the GIF…

Believe me, I was shocked, literally shocked, I was like I forgot how to speak, the movie is actually not about romance or drama or even comedy, it’s about Domestic Violence; 1st, I was shocked that Colleen promoting this kind of books with nail polish;

Then, another shock on my head to know the fact that Black is promoting the movie with alcohol “Will talk about it…” and flowers, and her hair care line… Hmm

I’m out of words… I can’t even figure out if I want to cry or laugh; let me take you to another news that made me want to know more about the topic, news about Blake and Justin Baldoni that they aren’t talking, and they didn’t promote the movie together as Justin is the main character and the director; so, I decided to know more…

1st, I knew about the long kiss scene or something that made Blake uncomfortable, the other news was about Justin fat-shaming Blake when he asked how much she weights to train because he has an injury in his back…

let’s pause a little, and talk about everything in more detail, after that news I found a YouTube video for Brett Cooper “The Comment Section” It’s the first time I’ve seen Brett, and I like her way 😀 anyway, she was addressing the issue and talking about what was going on and after that I googled and wow, I found a lot about the news and the issue and how Blake is wrong and other videos about actors disliking her and how she is mean girl and how she’s a bully…

I was again shocked, I was looking at Blake as a beautiful actress and mother, of course, I don’t know her in person, but after knowing all of that and seeing some of her interviews and that way she promoted a movie and story about DV. the way she did that made me see the red flags, and here we will back the question and prompt about the traits you see as red flags; to answer this one; I decided to merge it with me talking about Blake Lively!

Now, you’ll ask how is that related? You’ll see, just let’s keep going and see everything together; I kept watching and searching to be sure of everything I’ll write here, and I think it’s not news to you, I’ll take the issue from the last one to the beginning; It Ends with us is a novel about Domestic Violence, don’t worry, I’ll not spoil it for you, I’ll not tell the story, but, what exactly happened, 1st, Colleen, the author herself promoted that kind of novels with Nail Polishes, what was you think about? or what was your PR team think about? it’s a disaster in my opinion to promote such a thing that talks about women and what they experience every day from beating and killing in such a downgraded way, with colors of nail polish… Am I the only one who thinks that this shouldn’t happen!

Then Blake promoted her hair care line, which by the way people gave it a lot of bad reviews and only one star; also promoted it with alcohol, which is by the way one of the reasons of DV and maybe the top reason, also telling women to wear their flourish clothes and enjoy the movie with friends and loved ones!!! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Is it normal to take my friends and go see a movie about DV, and enjoy it and enjoy what many women live around the world in real life? or should the woman who experiences DV every day, take her Violent husband or boyfriend and wear a flourish and see the movie while he hits her; my way is aggressive, yes, I know, because where was her head while promoting like that? It doesn’t need a PR team or whatever, it just needs some humanity, and a little bit of head to think before acting and talking; where was her Husband who wrote something or changed something on the script for her and interfered in her everything and whatever she was saying where was he to tell her oh, my beautiful wife, this movie is about DV and it’s not about flourish fashion and not about where you got your clothes in the movie from, which another subject she was so proud about it, but never took a second to address the real issue and be humble, human, and sensitive…

No, she didn’t even have a bit of sensitivity, how? an interview with her and Brandon,

“For people who see this movie, who relate to the topics of this movie on a deeply personal level, they’re really gonna want to talk to you,” reporter Jake Hamilton said to Lively and her co-star Brandon Sklenar.

“This movie is going to affect people, and they’re going to want to tell you about their lives,” Hamilton went on. “So if someone understands the themes of this movie and comes across you in public and they want to really talk to you, what’s the best way for them to be able to talk to you about this?” the reporter asked.

Lively replied sarcastically, “Maybe asking for, like, my address, or my phone number. Or, like, location share?! I could just location-share you and then we could…” Laughing, she trailed off, as Sklenar sat silently.

Justin was promoting this movie separately and very good way, addressing the issue, talking politely to hosts, and being sensitive in interviews toward this very sensitive issue that many women live and experience every day and every moment; She is the producer of the movie with her Husband Ryan, but did you know that Justin had the idea of turning the novel into the movie and it’s his baby, not Blake’s, still after the accusations she made about him 1st fat-shaming her, what was that about, so the issue if that Justin has a back injury, so for the safety issues, Blake’s safety and his he has to train on weights to hold her and not fall her down, he asked the trainer how much weight he should train on to carry Blake; she accused him of fat-shaming her, let us get back to 2016 to another disaster interview on a movie called “Cafe society”…

At that time Blake was pregnant, and the host congratulated her and said “1st, congrats on your little pumb…” the reporter meant the pregnancy, and it’s not bully or something because yea some people congratulate that way look below,

Blake was so mean to the reporter Kjresti Flaa, she was disrespectful, and she was talking side by side with her co-star Parker Posey and left aside the reporter, go and see the interview on Kjreti’s channel and everyone talk about it you’ll find it easily, that interview made Kjresti quit her job; being bullied isn’t just in schools, it’s in your job too… here is the interview

That means, I’m sorry to say this but Blake you might have a serious issue of fatphobia or something; this isn’t good; the other issue she made was that Justin kissed her longer than the scene should have taken, 1st when you go out and tell people that someone did something to you by some way or another that you don’t like, you should have some prove or anything, but actually behind the scenes proved that Blake pushed Justin to do certain things to kiss her and act to make the scene as she wanted, let me remind you, she’s the producer, but she isn’t an intimacy on-screen expert or something, so she doesn’t fully understand what had done and then accused the man of being appropriate, for God’s sake Blake think before speaking…

I didn’t know Justin before this movie, by the way, I still haven’t watched it, but, after seeing his interviews I salute him for the way he speaks and addresses the issue of DV, and I’m not defending anyone over anyone, I’m just talking about the facts I found and saw….

Let’s go back to the question above, the traits that are red flags in personalities, being a bully. mean to people, and unrespectful, I always believed that you can’t make everyone like you and love you, but you can make everyone respect you; respect is something we all deserve, it’s not a choice, I don’t want you to like me or whatever, but I want and demand respect; yes, being an unrespectful person means a red flag for me, and unfortunately those traits are in Blake Lively; whoever you’re, a famous actor, a politician, singer, filmmaker, employee, CEO or whatever your job is famous or not, it doesn’t give permission to disrespect people, especially the famous people, you’re not above us, who made you are the people, your fans, yes, you might be amazing actor or filmmaker, but being a good actor will not make me ignore the fact that you’re disrespectful and bully and mean to people, that in fact makes me unfollow you and boycott you.

Maybe, I’m just one person for you, but for me, I can’t give you my money and time just because you are a good actor or whatever, because yeah, I can’t ignore personality traits, I can’t ignore if you’re just a face without a character, unfortunately, that many people don’t care and that what happens when we give those people fame, and not boycott them for good…

Thank you all for having time to read this one, and till the next time, be safe, smile, and never give up; love you all ❤ ❤ XO XO
