It Ends With Us: The Blake Lively Backlash19 Aug 202400:58:53

TW - DISCUSSES DOMESTIC VIOLENCE / SPOILER ALERTS


Grab your florals and join Amber & Annabel as they discuss all the controversy around It Ends With Us.


It Ends With Us surpassed $180m this weekend at the international box office, making a huge profit. But, not without its PR controversy. Is the Blake Lively commentary fair, or has it turned into a global witch hunt? Should we be being told to grab our florals and head for a night out with friends, or should the serious undertones of the film be being discussed more widely, by more than just Justin Baldoni?


And in this week's Am I Ovary Acting, is our solo mum by choice right to be cross at her sister?
