The 34-year-old actor, who portrayed Atlas Corrigan in the film, shared his thoughts on the controversy in an Instagram post on August 19. He emphasized that vilifying the women involved in the movie was counterproductive and detracted from its intended message. He urged the public to consider the film’s purpose and the efforts put into making it.
Brandon acknowledged that there had been negativity circulating online and hoped it would not overshadow the film’s intentions. He implored fans to trust that everyone involved in the film understood the responsibility they had and stressed the film’s purpose to inspire, validate, recognize, instill hope, build courage, and spread love and awareness. Despite becoming a box office hit after its August 9 premiere, reports emerged of disputes between the actor and director Justin, 40, and film star Blake, 36.
Both Blake and Justin have not publicly addressed the alleged rumors about their disagreement. Brandon concluded his message by emphasizing the film’s positive objectives and urged people to move beyond placing blame on the women involved. Finally, the text ended with a note urging individuals experiencing domestic violence to seek confidential support from the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
