Nick Viall reacts to Justin Baldoni's legal battle with Blake Lively

Nick Viall gives his take on the 'It Ends With Us' drama

Nick Viall has shared his thoughts on the bitter feud between director Justin Baldoni and actress Blake Lively.

In a candid conversation with Bustle on Thursday, the 44-year-old actress revealed that he “wasn’t that surprised” when the cast of It Ends With Us distanced themselves from Justin after Blake filed a lawsuit against him.

“I had the chance to interview Justin a couple of years ago on my show, and I just had a feeling he wasn’t the person he so loudly portrayed himself to be,” said The Bachelor star.

He further said, “When the story broke that the entire cast and author of the book [the movie is based on] had clearly distanced themselves from him, I wasn’t that surprised.”

“However, I was surprised how quickly the internet seemed to start trying to find reasons to discredit Blake by bringing up old interviews and past alleged mistakes,” shared A Christmas Cruise actor.

“I think the internet has made it easier for people to share other people’s opinions rather than come up with their own. This story just kind of reinforced that,” added the star.

In January 2023, Nick interviewed Justin for his podcast, The Viall Files.
