Blake Lively is receiving backlash for her truly bizarre press tour.
The Gossip Girl alum is currently starring in the new film, It Ends with Us , an adaptation of Colleen Hoovers novel of the same name.
The film, like the book, centers around a flower shop owner named Lily Blossom Bloom (Lively) who escapes the cycle of domestic violence while also partaking in a love triangle. The book was met with controversy for romanticizing abuse, with an op-ed published to domesticshelters.org, a nonprofit that helps victims and survivors of abuse, saying it feeds into the very structures of toxic masculinity that it purports to combat by romanticizing red flags and glorifying a charismatic-but-dangerous man.
