Colleen Hoover allegedly told Justin Baldoni she felt "forced" to take sides in his dispute with Blake Lively over *It Ends With Us*, according to newly revealed text messages filed as part of an ongoing legal battle. The bestselling author, who wrote the novel and served as an executive producer on the film, reportedly expressed frustration over the growing tension between the two stars, writing to Baldoni in August 2024 that she felt isolated and disappointed. "It just feels like I'm on an island here," Hoover allegedly texted, adding that she didn't want to choose sides but was left with no choice.
