Reports have emerged online suggesting that the cast has distanced themselves from Justin. Neither Blake nor Justin has publicly addressed the rumors. Sources have claimed that during a scene in which Ryle, played by Justin, lifts Lilly, played by Blake, into the air, Blake felt “fat-shamed” by Justin. This reportedly stemmed from Justin’s history of back issues and his alleged inquiry about Blake’s weight to an on-set trainer.

The tension between them was palpable, and it was apparent that their working relationship was affected during post-production, leading to the creation of two different cuts of the film due to creative differences. Additionally, there are reports of alleged tensions involving the “principal cast” and Colleen Hoover. The cast’s relationship with Justin reportedly deteriorated in various aspects, including social media activity.
