Brandon Sklenar, known for his role in “It Ends With Us,” has chosen to distance himself from the legal dispute involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, despite initially showing support for Lively.

Recently approached by a paparazzo at an airport and questioned about offering words of support to his fellow cast members, Sklenar, aged 34, responded by saying, “Lead with love and compassion.”

The controversy stems from December 2024 when Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, who not only co-starred but also directed the movie. She accused him of sexual harassment during filming, as well as orchestrating a campaign to tarnish her reputation, allegations that Baldoni has vehemently denied.

Sklenar initially appeared to back Lively, sharing the New York Times’ article about her lawsuit via his Instagram Story and writing alongside it, “For the love of God read this.”

However, in January, Baldoni filed a $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist, Leslie Sloane.

The “Jane the Virgin” alum also sued the New York Times, which vowed to “vigorously defend” itself.

Sklenar seemingly changed his tune when he was asked by “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King in February whether he was “Team Justin or Team Blake.”

Laughing, perhaps nervously, the actor replied, “I’m Team ‘It Ends With Us.’”

Then at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars Party in March, when he was asked how he was “hoping to support” Lively, 37, amid her legal issues with Baldoni, 41, he vaguely called the situation “tough.”

“I just hope everyone remembers what the movie is about and why we made it in the first place,” the “1923” star told the Hollywood Reporter at the time.

“It’s about love, and it’s about supporting women in general and helping people through tough times.”

Sklenar made sure to note that the film, which centers on domestic violence, has “helped so many people.”

Lively and Baldoni’s trial is set to begin in March 2026.
