Yet another Blake Lively supporter is backtracking…
Brandon Sklenar was the first It Ends With Us cast member to break their silence on the drama surrounding the premiere of the film over the summer. Then, when the Gossip Girl star levied sexual harassment and smear campaign claims against her co-star/director Justin Baldoni, Brandon was yet again among the first to stand up for Blake. Sharing her legal complaint, he wrote on Instagram at the time:
“For the love of god read this.”
He seemed totally Team Blake! But now?? Not so much…

During an interview on CBS Mornings on Monday, the actor was asked about the ongoing legal controversy, with Gayle King putting his feet to the flames, asking:
“Are you Team Blake or Team Justin?”
Hah! The reporter isn’t holding anything back these days! So, uh, what did he say?
Brandon laughed off the question, saying diplomatically:
“I’m Team It Ends With Us.”
Wow. He may not have answered, but simply not being willing to stand up and declare full support for Blake anymore says VOLUMES!
That said, Brandon did get super candid about one thing — how important the project was to him and what he hopes people will remember about it most. He shared:
“I just want people to remember why we made the movie in the first place and what it stands for, just keeping the focus on that. That movie meant so much to me. I have someone very, very close to me in my life who’s gone through what Lily’s going through for a long time and I’ve been on the front lines helping her navigate that space, so that movie meant a lot to me, and it means a lot to her, this person in my life. Me doing that film gave her the strength to change her life. It means a lot to me. It’s unfortunate that things get taken away from what the ethos of that thing is, and it gets convoluted.”
He’s clearly frustrated his work has gotten overshadowed by the drama. See his full response (below):

We wonder if there’s any other reason he and others don’t seem to be standing by Blake as publicly?? It’s a bit odd! Have they been convinced by the evidence Justin’s team is dumping out there??
What’s UR best guess, Perezcious readers?
