As the famous author Sun Tzu once said, “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”But when it comes to Blake Lively’s legal showdown withIt Ends with Usco-star and director Justin Baldoni, there’s no subduing in sight—this feud has gone from a simmering pot to an all-out legal battle. And while the lawsuits are flying like arrows in battle, it’s becoming crystal clear that Lively has one ace up her sleeve that Baldoni doesn’t: a powerful army of Hollywood heavyweights who may just tip the scales in her favor.
Her husband, Ryan Reynolds—Deadpool himself—is a heavyweight in his own right, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. And then there’s her circle of A-list friends—Salma Hayek, Gigi Hadid, and Taylor Swift, to name just a few.
Candace Owens recently summed up the situation in her signature bold style, revealing how the tangled mess of drama surrounding the film goes far beyond a simple dispute over creative differences. According to her, Bradley Cooper might just find himself subpoenaed to court as part of the ongoing saga.

And it’s not justIt Ends with Usthat’s getting dragged into the mud. Lively, in a separate legal front, has filed a request for a deposition in Texas regarding a man she claims was pivotal in turning online sentiment against her during the film’s release. The judge overseeing the case, Lewis J. Liman, has given both sides a clear directive: prepare for a trial in 2026. That’s a year away, but the groundwork is already being laid, and the allegations keep piling on.
But let’s zoom in on a specific aspect of this trial that’s been sending ripples through the entertainment world—It Ends With Us’ credits and whatCandace Owensuncovered about them.
Candace Owens uncovers early drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni
Well, Candace Owens shared how a Reddit user accurately described the behind-the-scenes drama of the movie long before the public had any idea (viaYouTube). “This person correctly stated everything that was going to happen well since what has happened since,”Owens said, adding:
They present themselves as like I know the person, a person that is going through this here, is what is going on, and you’re not going to believe what is going on and why it’s happening.
Per Owens, this Reddit post, which surfaced on August 12th—just days after theIt Ends with Uspremiere—spilled the beans about alleged tension betweenJustin BaldoniandBlake Lively. Specifically, it detailed how Lively reportedly felt uncomfortable with Baldoni, who allegedly used the word “sexy” to describe her outfit on set. But it doesn’t stop there.
The post also mentions how Lively allegedly wanted to do her own version of the film, but Sony said no. In response,Ryan Reynolds’ wife reportedly threatened to go to the New York Times with accusations of sexual harassment unless she got what she wanted. According to Owens, the allegations in the post appear to be shockingly accurate—down to Lively’s threats and Baldoni’s eventual creative sidelining.
Bradley Cooper’s hidden role inIt Ends with Usand drama behind the scenes
Now, let’s get to the juicy part: theIt Ends with Uscredits. Candace Owens is stunned by something about the movie credits—Bradley Cooper’s name. Why? Well, it turns out that he wasn’t just an A-lister giving his thoughts on the film—he was deeply involved in the final edit.
Owens also noticed the credit for Gordon Reynolds and asked,
Now, why is that stunning to me?…If we could pull in the credits from It Ends With Us—if we have it, they also included Bradley Cooper. And I didn’t know why. I was like, why is she giving a special thanks to Bradley Cooper in It Ends With Us? Why did Blake Lively move to do that? That made no sense to me. This then locks that in. Bradley Cooper then sees the edit that was done with Taylor Swift’s editor.
She soon uncovered that Cooper had seen an edited version of the movie that Lively had worked on withTaylor Swift’s music video editors. This edit was far from the original.

The credits were more than just a list of names—they were clues to the behind-the-scenes drama. “This person had the tea,” Owens remarked, piecing together the connection between Lively, Cooper, and the editing chaos.
As for the trial itself, Owens believes we’ll be seeing a lot of familiar faces in court. “We are especially subpoenaing Colleen Hoover,” she remarked, pointing to the author of the book the film was based on. Could it be a sign of something more?
