‘It Ends With Us’ author Colleen Hoover deletes photos of Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni as she returns to Instagram

Colleen Hoover is back on Instagram — but her feed looks a little different this time around.

Three weeks after deactivating her account amid Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively’s legal battle, the “It Ends With Us” author returned to the social media platform Wednesday.

However, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Hoover, 45, wiped all photos of the movie’s two main stars.

She had previously posted several pictures alongside the cast — including Lively, who starred as Lily Bloom, and Baldoni, who directed the film and starred as her abusive husband, Ryle Kincaid.

The film, released in August 2024, is based on Hoover’s hit 2016 novel of the same name.

Although she scrubbed most of the content related to the movie, she kept a few early casting announcements and one post dedicated to fans.

While the movie was a box-office success — raking in over $350 million — the drama behind the scenes took center stage.

Rumors of a feud between Lively, 37, and Baldoni, 41, began circulating online after people noticed the two stars hadn’t done any press together.

Four months after the social media storm, the “Gossip Girl” star filed a bombshell sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni, further accusing the director of trying to “destroy” her reputation and orchestrating a smear campaign against her — which he denied.

Hoover stood by Lively at the time, gushing about the actress in an Instagram Story that read, “@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.”

Hoover also shared a link to the New York Times article about Lively’s complaint, titled, “‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine.”

Lively filed a formal lawsuit against Baldoni less than two weeks later, accusing the “Jane the Virgin” star of body-shaming and sexually harassing her, among other things.

She alleged that Baldoni showed her images of naked women on set, made her uncomfortable by talking about his past porn addiction and added sexually explicit scenes to the script without her consent.

However, Baldoni denied her claims and fired back with his own $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times and a $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

As part of his defense, Baldoni released never-before-seen text messages between the two and behind-the-scenes footage — which the actress believes only “corroborates” her claims.

As the pair prepare to duke it out in court, Lively and the “Deadpool” star subpoenaed Baldoni and his team’s text messages as they hunt for “receipts.”

Several other people — including Taylor Swift — are expected to be deposed in the coming months.

While the case is set for a March 2026 trial date, a judge recently threatened to move the hearing up if it continues to be “litigated in the press.”
