“It Ends With Us,” based on the Colleen Hoover novel. In that letter, Lively also accused Baldoni of creating a smear campaign leading up to the film’s release last August.

Since then, Baldoni has sued The New York Times and Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. “Outrage is the most boring emotion humans have these days,” Feig added. “When it’s towards something meaningful, that’s great. But people get outraged at everything.

It’s like, this is what you’re angry about? There’s other things to be outraged about – please, go and help make the world a better place.” Back in December, Feig also publicly showed his support for Lively, whom he worked with on both “Simple Favor” movies.

“All I can say is she’s one of the most professional, creative, collaborative, talented and kind people I’ve ever worked with,” Feig wrote on X,linking to a New York Times article about Lively’s complaint.

“She truly did not deserve any of this smear campaign against her. I think it’s awful she was put through this.”
