On August 6, 2024, Justin Baldoni attended the “It Ends With Us” New York Premiere at AMC Lincoln Square Theater. On August 31, he posted a heartfelt message on Instagram dedicated to those impacted by the film’s themes.
He acknowledged the endurance, strength, and hope portrayed in people’s lives and emphasized that every step forward is a declaration of unyielding spirit and an inspiration to others. In his message, Justin acknowledged that people may not always see the impact they have, but their journey encourages and motivates, lighting the path for those still searching for light.
He expressed empathy, recognizing that he can never fully understand others’ pain and everything they have endured, but assured them that they are not alone in the fight. He expressed that their stories continue to inspire countless others.
The text then brings up tensions that reportedly arose because Justin felt he did not have sufficient creative input as the director, with sources claiming that Blake allegedly took over many aspects of the production, including involving her husband, Ryan Reynolds, in the writing of a scene for the movie. This action sparked debate about the sensitivity required when handling such a delicate topic, especially in a film meant to highlight the experiences of survivors.
The text concludes with a call to action, providing the National Domestic Violence Hotline’s number for confidential support for those experiencing domestic violence.
