For one, there’s a bunch of annoying commentary about how the film might be affected by Blake Lively’s legal woes. As you know, she’s currently suing her It Ends with Us costar Justin Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment. He has vehemently denied her claims and responded with his own lawsuit.

“As often is the case, the budgets didn’t align,” the source said. “No one was dropped from a role. There was interest, as often is the case with movies, and budgets didn’t align. That’s how benign it is.”
