It's been three weeks since It Ends With Us came out and no one could have predicted the public scrutiny that leading lady and producer Blake Lively would face.
She's been publicly pitted against director and star Justin Baldoni. From people criticising Lively's cavalier approach to domestic violence in interviews, to others digging up archived interview moments that cast the Gossip Girl star in an unflattering light, it's been... a lot.
And now, Blake Lively's family has had enough.
High School Musical actor Bart Johnson, who is married to Lively's sister Robyn Lively, has shared his thoughts in an Instagram comment, which was posted on a birthday tribute he shared for Blake.
Someone left a comment on the post that accused the actress of "promoting happiness in a domestic violence setting without any regard for any victims," which prompted Bart to issue a reply.
"I'm really sorry you feel that way," Johnson began.
"I'm sure you have a huge heart and want the best. I can promise you the truth has not come out yet. Blake worked harder on this film than anything I've seen her do in my entire life. Because it meant so much to her."
