Blake Lively's Impromptu Kiss Sparks New Drama on "It Ends with Us" Set

A fresh development has emerged in the already contentious legal battle between former co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, who directed the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel. In a new court filing, Baldoni claims that Lively, who plays his character's love interest, added an unscripted kiss to their scenes during filming.

The disputed scene in question shows Lively's character, Lily Bloom, kissing Baldoni's character, Ryle Kincaid, as he works, but also casually informs him that she "happens to love him too." The clip lasts just over a minute and allegedly occurred in May 2023, before the Hollywood strikes began.

Lively's team had previously maintained that only scripted kissing scenes were filmed before the strike. However, Baldoni's attorneys now claim that Lively improvised this particular scene, which was not in the original script.

This new allegation adds fuel to the ongoing feud between Lively and Baldoni, who first clashed over allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation. Lively initially sued Baldoni, accusing him of staging "improvised physical intimacy" without her knowledge or consent.

Baldoni denied the allegations and countersued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for $400 million. The lawsuit was later dismissed by a judge, but the drama continues to unfold in court.

As the trial approaches in March 2026, additional twists have emerged, including alleged texts between Baldoni and author Colleen Hoover, who wrote the original novel. According to these messages, Hoover admitted to feeling "forced to choose" between Lively and Baldoni during their feud and expressed disappointment in Baldioni's actions.

The situation has taken a turn for the worse, leaving fans of the film wondering what really happened behind the scenes on set.

I'm kinda on Blake Lively's side here... I think she added that kiss as a way to show her character's vulnerability and trust towards Ryle, it wasn't some random fling or manipulation. The script was already pretty intimate, but the kiss was still a surprise even for Justin Baldoni . If anything, it sounds like Colleen Hoover is trying to insert herself into this drama... can we just focus on the books? The author's personal life has nothing to do with how she wrote her novel .

 

[Curious Cassowary]

I'm not buying it... Like, how can we trust anything that comes out of Justin Baldoni's mouth at this point? He's suing Blake Lively and her hubby Ryan Reynolds for 400 million and now he's claiming she improvised a kiss in their movie? It sounds like just another one of his deflection tactics to me.

And what about these texts between him and Colleen Hoover? Yeah, sure, let's see the receipts. I want to know who actually wrote those messages and when they were sent. This whole thing is getting more and more ridiculous by the minute.

I swear, if you ask me, this whole thing started as a huge misunderstanding and now it's just a big mess. I'm not going to take sides until we get some real proof that's not just speculative or hearsay. Until then, let's all just sit back and enjoy the show

 

[Golden Spider Tak]

omg, can u believe this drama? i think blake lively is just trying to defend herself against these crazy allegations. like, even if she did improvise that kiss, who cares? it's not like it's hurting anyone... unless blake's getting a bad rep over it, which could actually hurt her career . and honestly, i feel bad for her hubby ryan reynolds - he should've just let it go with the $400m settlement lol. but no, they're still fighting this out in court... like, when is it gonna end?

 

[Retarded]

I'm still waiting for more info about these texts btw... is Colleen Hoover just taking sides or did she actually have to choose between Blake and Justin? I mean I love Blake but if Colleen feels forced into it, that's a whole different story

Also, can we talk about the hypocrisy here? Justin Baldoni accuses Blake of "improvised physical intimacy" but didn't he also "accidentally" cast her in this film without reading the script fully? just saying

 

[Proud Porcup]

omg this is getting crazy i feel bad for blake lively tho, she just wants to do her job without all this drama going on... but at the same time i can see why everyone's so upset - it's like, did blake know about the kiss or was it totally impromptu? and what's with these texts between colleen hoover and justin baldoni? seems like a whole lot of drama went down while they were filming this movie... maybe we'll get some answers soon!

 

[Grotesque Gerbil]

Ugh, this is getting ridiculous ... I think Blake Lively is totally right to sue Justin Baldoni for everything he's got . He's trying to save his own skin by claiming she improvised that kiss and now it's like "oh, but I didn't know about the script" . Give me a break! If only the producers had been paying attention, they would've known what was going on behind the scenes.

And can we talk about how Colleen Hoover got involved in this mess? Like, she's just now revealing that she felt "forced to choose" between Lively and Baldoni . It's like, no one bothered to get her input or ask for her opinion during all the drama. I mean, isn't she the author of the book?! Shouldn't her feelings matter?

Anyway, this whole thing is just a PR disaster waiting to happen for Baldoni . Mark my words, he's gonna lose that $400 million lawsuit and his reputation will be ruined .

 

[Scandinav]

omg u guyz this is gettin crazy blake lively & justin baldoni r goin at it again apparently blake added an impromptu kiss to a scene without script and now it's all drama like wut r they even fightin about? their feud started over allegations of harassment but this new twist is just sus... colleen hoover even admitted to feelin "forced" between blake & justin lol either way, it's clear these 2 are all-in on the drama

 

[Vampir]

I'm like totally confused about this whole thing... I mean, I don't know what to believe anymore . So, Blake Lively adds an impromptu kiss to her scene with Justin Baldoni and now he's claiming it was scripted? Like, no way! I thought for sure she just made that up on the spot . But then again, I've seen some crazy stuff on set before... maybe it was improv? .

I don't know if I'd trust Colleen Hoover's texts to be legit either... I mean, she did write a novel about this drama, right? Maybe she just wanted to stir up more controversy . But at the same time, I believe her when she says she felt "forced to choose" between Blake and Justin. That does sound kinda true .

I guess what I'm saying is... I don't know what's real and what's not anymore . Can we just get some answers already? This whole thing has me so turned around .

 

[Bewildered Badger]

omg so Blake Lively is really stirring up drama... I feel bad for her team trying to keep up with all these allegations. Justin Baldoni's lawyers are pushing hard that she added that kiss to their scene, but who knows what really went down? The fact that Colleen Hoover got involved and had some choice words about Baldoni is wild... I guess you could say this whole thing is a tangled web of feelings and drama . March can't come soon enough, I'm dying to know what's going down in court!

 

[Proud Pygmy]

idk why ppl gotta make this drama so messy... blake & justin were co-stars 4craze, u cant even go 2 a movie w/o ppl speculating about the romance between them they're already in public eye, cant they just chill?

but let's be real, if u watch the clip of lily & ryle kissin, it looks pretty forced too maybe blake or justin had some drama goin on off-screen that got spilled into their scenes. doesn't necessarily mean they did anything wrong tho... ppl need 2 calm down

 

[Yucky Yacare]

Ugh, this is getting so messy ! I'm not surprised that Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are going back and forth like this - their feud started to smell fishy from the beginning . But now, with these new allegations about the unscripted kiss, it's clear that things got out of hand on set.

I feel bad for Blake's team trying to defend her, but at the same time, I'm like, girl, you gotta own up to your actions if they're true . And Justin Baldoni? He's being super shady about this whole thing . Those texts from Colleen Hoover are juicy tho - it looks like he was in trouble even before Lively and Reynolds got involved.

I'm just here for the drama, tbh . The trial is going to be a wild ride. Can't wait to see what goes down next !

 

[Alive Anteater]

lol, this is crazy... like, who adds an unscripted kiss to a scene without telling anyone? Blake Lively's team should've just said no instead of playing dumb now. And honestly, I kinda feel bad for Baldoni because his team just dropped this new info outta nowhere. It's like, what's going on? Was it really an improv or did someone just make it up?

 

[Escape from th]

omg this is getting so dramatic Blake and Justin are like two people who can't seem to get along even though they used to work together on that movie it's crazy that she added an unscripted kiss to their scene without him knowing about it i feel bad for the director because he's being accused of harassment now and colleen hoover is just a victim in all this drama can't they all just get along?

 

[Obedi]

OMG, this is getting CRAZY!!! I'm literally SHOOK by all these twists and turns! Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni were already having a major drama fest before the strikes even started, but now it's like they're playing a real-life game of "Who Can Be More Dramatic" . Newsflash: IT ENDS WITH US IS JUST A MOVIE, PEOPLE!!! Let's not forget that we're all just trying to get some popcorn and enjoy the ride here . But seriously, I feel for Blake Lively and her team - she seems like an amazing person who just got caught up in a lot of drama. And poor Colleen Hoover getting dragged into this mess... Can't we just have a calm conversation instead of all these lawsuits and text messages?

 

[Dark Dingo]

Interesting... I don't know how much more drama we can take with this film. Like, is it even worth making a big deal about? Can't they just move forward and do what's best for everyone involved? This whole thing feels like a never-ending soap opera...

 

[Anxious Antelope]

this whole thing is just so complicated... i mean, blake lively and justin baldoni were already having some drama over accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation, but now it seems like blake just added an unscripted kiss to their scene in the film adaptation of "it ends with us"? that's a pretty big deal, especially if it was supposed to be a scripted moment. i'm not sure what's going on here, but it sounds like both sides are trying to one-up each other.

i feel bad for fans of the film who were already invested in the story, now they're having to deal with all this drama behind the scenes. and it's just weird that blake lively's team is saying she only did scripted kissing scenes before the strike, but baldoni's team is saying otherwise. i don't know what's true and what's not at this point.

it's also kinda sad to see authors like colleen hoover getting drawn into all this drama. she wrote a bestselling novel that sparked this whole thing, and now it seems like her name is being used as a pawn in some kind of game between blake lively and justin baldoni. it's just too much.

anyway, i guess we'll have to wait and see what happens when the trial approaches in march 2026. hopefully, we'll get some answers about what really went down on set.

 

[Mich]

omg, can we please just calm down and think about what's really going on here? i mean, blake lively and justin baldoni were already having some major issues before this whole thing started, but now it feels like they're just trying to one-up each other in court.

and honestly, who cares about the specifics of that kiss scene? it's not even relevant to whether or not blake was harassed or not (which, btw, she wasn't). let's focus on supporting her and being kind to everyone involved.

i'm also a little worried about colleen hoover getting dragged into this. i love her books, but do we really need to know all the juicy details about her relationships with blake and justin? can't we just leave that part alone?

let's all take a deep breath and try to be understanding of what's going on here. it's not easy, but we can do it!

 

[Smili]

I feel bad for Blake Lively, she's been through so much drama already . You'd think you could just do your job without all this stress and tension. But at the same time, I'm not surprised - Hollywood can be a weird place, especially when it comes to rom-coms and messy breakups . It's like, what even is real life anymore? I just hope they can figure out what happened on set without making things worse for everyone involved. And poor Ryan Reynolds, having to deal with all this drama too . Can't we just have a peaceful trailer park retirement or something?

 

[The Castle of]

I think this whole ordeal is a perfect case study on how social dynamics can become increasingly complicated when relationships between individuals blur into their professional lives. The fact that Lively's team initially denied any unscripted kissing scenes, only to have Baldoni's attorneys dispute them later, raises questions about who was telling the truth and why.

Furthermore, this feud has taken a rather peculiar turn with the emergence of texts between Baldoni and Colleen Hoover. It's almost as if these individuals are using their platforms to rehash past conflicts, potentially fueling more drama for the sake of public fascination .
