Brandon Sklenar has recently spoken out regarding the controversy surrounding the film 'It Ends With Us.' The actor, known for his role as Atlas Corrigan in the movie, addressed the speculation and negative attention that has surrounded the project.
'It Ends With Us' features a star-studded cast including Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, portraying characters Lily Bloom and Ryle Kincaid, respectively. However, during the film's promotion, rumors began to circulate about potential tensions between Lively and Baldoni, who also directed the film.
Social media users noted the absence of joint appearances by Lively and Baldoni, leading to assumptions of discord between the two. Additionally, Lively faced criticism for her perceived lack of emphasis on the film's serious theme of domestic violence during interviews.
In response to the backlash, Sklenar took to Instagram to express his disappointment at the negativity directed towards the film's female leads. He highlighted the importance of the movie's message and the impact it has had on audiences, citing a friend who credited the film with saving her life.
Sklenar emphasized the awareness and responsibility that the cast and crew had in portraying the sensitive subject matter of domestic violence. He urged for a focus on the film's intention to inspire, validate, and spread awareness, rather than getting caught up in behind-the-scenes speculation.
Concluding his statement, Sklenar called for unity in creating a new narrative that uplifts women and promotes love and awareness. He encouraged individuals to be part of a positive movement that supports empowerment and solidarity.
