The Age of Adeline star has had an army of critics against her ever since she began promoting the 2024 film It Ends With Us, which she starred in alongside the movie's director, Justin Baldoni.

Lively and the Jane the Virgin actor clashed while making the movie, resulting in a full-blown bitter legal battle between the two.

Viewers of the film were also left upset in the way Lively handled press interviews and promotions of the project, as she leaned into the floral and feminine aspects of the storyline instead of focusing on the main subject of her character escaping domestic violence.

Amid heightened speculation the Lively hate train led to a feud between her and Kendrick back in February, a source attempted to squash the rumors by insisting there was no bad blood.

"There is no drama," a source informed E! News at the time. "They are not enemies. They are coworkers; friends and get along well."

Still, fans weren't buying it, as every interaction between Lively and Kendrick in recent months has been picked apart and interpreted as feeling awkward and forced.
