Colleen Hoover is back on Instagram — and her return comes with a bold message for Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni!
The It Ends With Us author returned to the platform on Wednesday after deactivating her account on January 22. And it looks like she used that time offline to wipe clear her profile of most traces of the feuding co-stars! She has removed pretty much ALL her content with Blake and Justin!
The only traces of them that remain on her profile are two screenshots of articles, one about the casting of Brandon Sklenar (featuring an image of Blake) and one of Blake and Justin announcing the film’s release date, both from 2023. There’s no movie poster and nothing with the cast at the premiere. Almost all of the It Ends With Us movie stuff has vanished. It’s just gone! Damn!

That says a LOT about where her head is at right now! Interestingly, Colleen is still following Blake but she is not following Justin. Neither stars follow the writer. Hmm.
As Perezcious readers know, the Verity novelist was super quick to support the Gossip Girl alum when she first made her sexual harassment and smear campaign complaints against Justin known back in December, writing on her IG:
“@blakelively, you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met. Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.”
The kind statement was shared alongside a photo of the pair hugging at a screening of the film. However, after this, she quickly stopped talking about the subject matter altogether as the legal battle heated up.
Despite not offering her two cents, she was dragged into the dispute thanks to the director’s lawsuit, which details communications between the two in the early days of the project. Nothing too scandalous — but it still puts her smack in the middle of this mess.
But now with this return to the ‘gram — after reports she was planning to retire, no less — it looks like she just wants nothing to do with either of the actors! That’s pretty brutal for Blake, not gonna lie. It’s one thing to have never received support from Colleen (like Justin), but to have had it and then seen it get taken away?? That raises some red flags!
Why do YOU think Colleen is distancing herself from this drama? Does she just not want to be involved in the lawsuit? Did her opinion about Blake and the situation change?? Sound OFF with your best guesses (below).
