There was a time when being friends with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively was a win. Now? Not so much. With the legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni unfolding, new details have emerged, some of which haven’t exactly painted the star couple in the best light.
Meanwhile, the internet has been anything but kind to those picking sides. One of the people caught in the crossfire is 1923 star Brandon Sklenar, who also starred in It Ends With Us and has openly supported Lively. And with the new season of 1923 just weeks away, fans are already speculating whether the drama will have any ripple effects on the show.
Brandon Sklenar’s involvement in the Justin Baldoni-Blake Lively drama!
From the moment the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama began, Hollywood insiders started picking sides. While most of the internet seems to be backing Baldoni, much of the film’s cast, where all this chaos unfolded, has stood firmly by Lively.
One of her most vocal supporters has been It Ends With Us co-star Brandon Sklenar, who plays Lively’s love interest in the film. Since the controversy erupted, Sklenar hasn’t shied away from showing where he stands.
He took to Instagram, sharing Lively’s s-xual harassment complaint against Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios, urging followers to “For the love of God read this” (via People) and tagging her with a heart emoji. His open support has only fueled the ongoing debate, as fans continue to dissect every new development in this messy saga.
Since then, internet trolls have come for him, throwing plenty of hate his way for taking Lively’s side. But Sklenar isn’t backing down, he’s standing firm in his support, refusing to waver in this ongoing drama.
Will It Ends With Us drama affect 1923 Season 2?
Since the controversy erupted, both Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have kept a low profile. However, anyone who has dared to post a picture with either of them, whether it’s Channing Tatum or Michael Monroe, has found themselves at the center of brutal internet backlash and headlines.
Naturally, this has many wondering, will Brandon Sklenar face the same scrutiny when the highly anticipated new season of 1923 finally drops? As a spin-off of the wildly popular Yellowstone universe, the show already has massive buzz, with audiences eagerly waiting for its return.
But with Sklenar caught in the crossfire of this Hollywood feud, could the drama cast a shadow over the show’s big comeback? This is what some of the Redditors think,

Many believe that the audience for 1923 remains largely untouched by the swirling drama surrounding It Ends With Us co-stars. For now, it seems unlikely that Sklenar’s public support for Lively will have any real impact on the show’s success.
However, Hollywood is unpredictable, and social media can turn on anyone in an instant. While 1923 has its own dedicated fanbase, the entertainment industry loves a good controversy. Whether this drama will create ripples for Sklenar and the show remains to be seen.
The first episode of 1923 Season 2 will premiere on Paramount+ on the 23rd of February, 2025, at 12 a.m. ET.
