Author Colleen Hoover has deactivated her Instagram account amid the ongoing legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, both of whom star in the film adaptation of Hoover’s novel, “It Ends with Us.” This move comes after Hoover publicly expressed support for Lively following the actress’s sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni.
In December 2024, Lively filed a complaint alleging that Baldoni engaged in misconduct during the film’s production. Following this, Hoover shared an Instagram Story praising Lively’s honesty and kindness. Shortly thereafter, Hoover’s Instagram account became inactive.
The legal battle has garnered significant attention, with both parties filing lawsuits and industry figures taking sides. Hoover’s decision to step back from social media may be an effort to distance herself from the escalating controversy surrounding the film’s production.
