Jenny Slate recently chose to avoid making any remarks on her experience working on It Ends With Us amidst the legal dispute between its stars, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. When asked about the movie during an interview, the actress chose not to comment, shifting the focus to her latest project instead. Despite previously voicing support for Lively, Slate now seems unwilling to engage in the ongoing controversy.
Here are all the details on how Slate addressed the question.
Jenny Slate has nothing to say about working with Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni
Jenny Slate has chosen to remain silent about her time working on It Ends with Us, opting to stay out of the legal drama unfolding between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. While promoting her new project Dying for Sex, she was asked how it compared to working on It Ends With Us, a project now entangled in controversy. Slate simply responded, “I don’t have anything to say about that.” (via The Hollywood Reporter)
Slate explained that her focus remains on her new project. She said, “Everything is its own thing. I poured my heart into this work, and every minute of [Dying for Sex] was important to me, and I just want to talk about that.” When asked how she would handle similar questions on red carpets, Slate made it clear that she was only interested in discussing her new project. The actress said, “Anyone can ask anything, but my only responsibility is to speak about the work I’m there to promote.” She emphasized that getting a role in Dying for Sex was important for her and she had no plans to address anything unrelated.
Notably, her current silence contrasts with her previous vocal support for Lively. In December 2024, after Lively publicly accused Baldoni of misconduct, Slate stood by her co-star. She called the allegations against Baldoni disturbing and praised Lively’s bravery, describing her as a “loyal friend.” Since then, the legal dispute has escalated. (via Today)
