Colleen Hoover BLASTED For New IEWU Comments -- After Fans Claim She Backed 'A Liar' Amid Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni Suit
by Perez Hilton · Perez HiltonColleen Hoover has finally spoken out about the It Ends With Us drama, and naturally, it’s stirring up a ton of new drama!
ICYMI, the author spoke with Elle on Thursday, revealing she’s “embarrassed” she even wrote the book at this point after the “circus” Blake Lively‘s lawsuit against Justin Baldoni has turned into. She’s “trying to stay removed from the negativity,” but noted:
“I have my own story I could tell … but I don’t want to bring attention to it, and I don’t want to have to put someone else down to lift myself up. So, I’d rather just ignore it and let people think and say what they’re going to say.”
Yikes. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Read all her comments HERE.
Fans are now extremely divided over her statement — with many claiming she’s walking back on what they saw as her previous support of the Gossip Girl star, who they’re claiming is “a liar.” But remember now, it was recently revealed in texts that Colleen did not want to pick a side but had felt “forced” to do so. Still, a lot of followers of the drama aren’t buying it. Users wrote on X (Twitter) and Reddit:
“Cry me a river Colleen Hoover. You knew exactly what was happening. You sided with Blake when you knew she was lying. She wasn’t the only one who ruined this movie. It was all of you who sided with a liar. You could do the right thing now and be honest but no you have a new movie coming out to think about it”
“Colleen Hoover knowingly backed a liar & she’s now trying to pretend she didn’t know anything.. ok lol”
“Colleen Hoover is a joke at this point. I have loved so many of her books but let’s get a couple things straight: 1) if she wrote It Ends With Us for her mother and to help battered women, why is she embarrassed that she wrote it? Shouldn’t she be embarrassed that she sided With Blake and it’s coming back to haunt her??? 2) isn’t it funny that right after siding with Blake, Colleen gets three more movies??? 3) can this woman not learn to shut up? She digs the hole deeper every time she opens her mouth!!!”
“funny, since she played a first hand role in initiating the negativity”
“I think it’s telling that people who came out to support Lively initially no longer feel so strongly now that time has passed and more information is out. Same with the actor who played the older Atlas. I would not be surprised if these people feel misled.”
“I felt her words about having a story herself but didn’t want to bring anyone down is still indicative of her still having issues with JB and how this process all went down. I say this because of those texts that were released recently. I really don’t think anyone has changed sides but just remain silent to avoid the anger from either crowd.”
“Colleen Hoover bet on the wrong horse.”
A lot of heated reactions! We also looked to see if there were reactions in support of her new comments, but as of this writing, we didn’t see any. Still, we’re sure she continues to have a lot of fans out there despite all the drama.
