What is the main topic of this episode?
Welcome to the shit show. Things are going to get weird. It's your fave villain, Kale Lowry. And you're listening to Barely Famous. Today I have a writer from OK Magazine, Becca. Welcome to Barely Famous Podcast. Thank you for having me. Yeah, of course. So today we want to talk about It Ends With Us, Colleen Hoover, Justin Baldoni, and Blake Lively. And I loved the book. I loved the movie. There's a lot of drama surrounding this. What's your take on it? Where are we at?
I also was a huge fan of the book and movie. I mean, now, obviously, I watched the movie back a second time recently, and it makes you look at it differently, and it makes you question and stuff. It makes me sad because of how much I loved the book, and reading that book was super emotional and... Honestly, helped me change my perspective. And I even feel like I grew from reading the book. So it to me makes me sad that this story has now this whole other side to it. And it's taking away from like the true themes and meanings of the book. And now it's all about these A-list celebrities and the whole idea of he said, she said, instead of the true story. Like, women's lives were changed from this book. Yeah. And people walked away from abusive relationships.
And even after watching the movie, people came out and said, like, I finally was able to leave. And I just wish that the story could just stay focused on that. Right.
And I will say that Colleen Hoover and her books have – they were a huge reason – that I got back into reading because I think one of the first books that I read was a Colleen Hoover book. Me too. You know, to sort of jump off on my reading journey. And so that's really important to me, but also being a survivor of domestic violence myself, I really resonated with the story. And so I actually went to see the screener with my best friend who had not read the book. We both cried at the movie the first time we saw it. I hate that Colleen Hoover's first adaptation is sort of clouded by all of this. And I was saying to you earlier, I don't know where the line is, right? Because Blake deserves a voice, Justin deserves a voice, but Colleen Hoover, this is a huge moment in Colleen Hoover's career. And so that's really sad because the book and the movie have such a strong message, such an important message. And I want to get into like the timeline. And I feel like this all happened so fast.
Yeah. And one thing I was going to say too, I think it's crazy how one thing we had been talking about before too is this whole idea of social media and are people on social media right? Should we believe everything we see on social media? But then there's this whole other thing of was social media right? Because when you remember when the premiere was on TikTok and stuff and it was blowing up and people knew that there was drama going on before it ever came out. People saw Blake and Justin acting weird at the premiere and the whole internet knew. So it's like, is social media not right?
I'll tell you what. TikTok and True, I hate to call them sleuths because I think there's a negative connotation, but they'll figure it out before it actually is confirmed. And I feel like the internet can do some wonders with that because when other people caught on, I didn't catch on to that. I just don't have the eye for that. I was shook when people were making these like... allegations or like having speculation surrounding this because I was like why are you guys turning something into something it's not I just didn't maybe maybe they weren't really friends but that's all I that's the conclusion I came to was like maybe they're not really friends they just work together and that's the end of the story right but people really speculated what was going on before anything happened I I think I was late to the game like I had no idea that there was drama
So when I first saw, because obviously I was covering the premiere, I was covering what Blake was wearing when she wore the Britney Spears dress, and I was covering all aspects of that. But then there's also these angles of, well, the internet is saying something is going down, but then you can't just base. That's not factual. But you know what?
