The woman is down.
In a newly unsealed email, Colleen Huber threatened Justin Baldoni with canceling the August 2024 premiere of It Ends With Us, according to court documents obtained by Page Six.
A month before the film’s release, the author wrote a letter to studio executives saying she felt “beyond uncomfortable” with “everything going on behind the scenes” between the 42-year-old actor and co-star Blake Lively.
“Would I feel safe with Justin? No,” the 46-year-old wrote.
She said that “comfort was not her priority” but that she “couldn’t commit to going if he and his team were all there.”
Hoover added, “I’m going back and forth every day between continuing to be in this movie and hiding out, because everything is causing me anxiety and I’m getting attention that I’m not ready for/not used to.”
Despite writing that she doesn’t like “upsetting people or picking sides” and prefers “being neutral,” she claimed that “feelings have been hurt and boundaries have been crossed” to the point that no one can “put everything aside… and smile for the camera.”
Hoover insisted the Gossip Girl alumnus “chooses to support” Lively, 38, “in whatever decision she makes” regarding the premiere.
The best-selling author declared, “I sincerely hope to see you all at the premiere, but if for some reason that doesn’t happen, please know that all I can say publicly will be positive things.”
A representative for Mr. Baldoni did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Baldoni, Lively and Hoover attended the New York City premiere the following month, but the Jane the Virgin alum and her loved ones were allegedly “imprisoned” in a separate basement.
He and his on-screen sweetheart quickly sparked rumors of a feud after not interacting on the red carpet.
In December 2024, Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, which Baldoni denies.
The former host of the podcast “Man Enough” countersued, only for the $400 million lawsuit to be dismissed last year.
Meanwhile, Lively’s legal battle is ongoing, with her trial scheduled to begin on May 18, 2026.
In an interview with Elle last year, Hoover called the whole “circus” of the situation “unfortunate” and “unfortunate,” and explained how the movie drama “Seraph of the End” “cast a shadow” on her book of the same name.
“I’m almost embarrassed to say I wrote it,” Hoover confessed. “When people ask me what I do, I just say, ‘I’m a writer. Don’t ask me what I’ve written.'”
