It has been days since the audience got a taste of the irony that was the never-ending saga of It Ends With Us

. While the drama understandably took in its wake, Blake Lively,

Justin Baldoni, and Ryan Reynolds

, the consequences have now gone beyond immediate family members and onto associate studios, specifically Amazon Studios which was crafting A Simple Favor 2

.

As Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni fight exposes and counter lawsuits, there was apparently no place for a simple favor.

Given the unannounced hiatus that Blake Lively had taken in the past years, the coming ones were going to be her comeback era. However, the first step back into the limelight with It Ends With Us

has caused such a catastrophic series of disasters that even her next big project, A Simple Favor 2

, has crumbled due to the quake, as per Eric B on X. 

While It Ends With Us

and the drama that followed may be the primary cause behind Amazon allegedly shelving the project, Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively’s past rivalry might also have a hand in it. Once termed as the iconic best friend goals, interviews of Kendrick and Lively now come with a cautionary warning owing to just how sharp the tension between them was.

It is understandable that, because of such circumstances, Lively has decided to distance herself from any official public outings. However, due to similar reasons, Ryan Reynolds too has decided to stick close by.

It is surprising how less of a role Ryan Reynolds had in It Ends With Us,

yet being a main character in the drama that unfolded after it. From interviewing Brandon Sklenar and promoting the movie to reportedly getting aggressive with Justin Baldoni, Ryan Reynolds is in the same place his wife has been, The Shallows

.

While sources were quick to deny any extreme allegations against Reynolds

, apart from the never-ending comedy special that he carries out on X, the actor has also skipped major events such as the Golden Globes. Regardless, with receipts still coming in, netizens have come to digest that it seriously does not end, with them or even with us.
