The ongoing legal battle between It Ends With Us stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has taken a new turn, with X user Melanie King (@realmelanieking) stirring the pot in a viral post on April 1, 2025, at 21:05 UTC. King’s post, which includes an image of Lively with the caption “The silence is very loud,” claims that America Ferrera has deleted an Instagram post supporting Lively amid her feud with Baldoni. King also points to the noticeable silence from Lively’s high-profile friends, Gigi Hadid and Taylor Swift, as well as Hollywood at large, suggesting a deeper rift.

Lively accused Baldoni, her co-star and director, of harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her during the production of It Ends With Us, as reported by Hindustan Times in December 2024. Ferrera, along with Lively’s Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants co-stars Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel, initially voiced support for Lively. However, King’s post highlights Ferrera’s alleged retraction, interpreting it as a sign of wavering loyalty. King also theorizes that Hadid and Swift, long-time friends of Lively, may have been unaware of the full extent of her actions, pointing to Lively’s history of public discrepancies as a possible reason for their silence.
The feud has escalated with multiple lawsuits, as detailed in a Vanity Fair article from January 2025, with Lively’s legal team accusing Baldoni of unethical behavior, while Baldoni claims Lively damaged his reputation. The controversy has cast a shadow over the film, which grossed $351 million worldwide, according to Wikipedia. King’s post, which questions the involvement of Lively’s inner circle, has sparked renewed debate about accountability in Hollywood, with fans eagerly awaiting further developments in this high-profile legal drama.
