Fans have uncovered a new conspiracy theory surrounding the ongoing legal feud between Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. The theory centres on a controversial dance scene from the film, which Lively alleges involved sexual harassment by Baldoni.
Observant viewers have noted that the slow dance sequence bears a striking resemblance to a romantic scene from Green Lantern (2010), the film where Lively met her husband, Ryan Reynolds. In both scenes, the couples share a similar slow dance in a bar setting, with one fan pointing out that the choreography appears almost identical.
The fan posed the question on social media: 'Could it be possible that Lively was trying to recreate the scene to be similar to the scene she did with her husband when she fell in love with him?' They further wondered whether Reynolds, who reportedly contributed to the film's script, might have felt jealous upon seeing the resemblance.
Lively has previously stated that her husband was heavily involved in the making of It Ends With Us, saying: 'The iconic rooftop scene, my husband actually wrote it. Nobody knows that, but you now.' She added that they collaborate on each other's projects.
The conspiracy theory has gained traction online, with fans commenting: 'Great observation!! Even down to the twirl!' and 'Well spotted.' The legal battle between Lively and Baldoni is set to go to court next year, with Baldoni counter-suing for defamation.
