Storyboard artist Talia Spencer, who worked on the Colleen Hoover adaptation, shared her account in an interview with 60 Minutes Australia and seemingly sided with director Baldoni amidst the legal showdown. Breaking her silence on the various allegations, lawsuits, and media coverage, she described the director as “kind and respectful,” adding that she chose to work on the film because Baldoni “seemed to care a lot about the vision of what we’re trying to do here and… not in it for fame.”
When asked about the tensions between Lively and Baldoni, Spencer speculated that the situation may have stemmed from the actress trying to 'take advantage' for the director and his temperament. “I feel like maybe Blake smelled his kindness, mistook it for weakness and tried to take advantage and take power,” she said.
She also suggested that Lively made efforts to take creative control of the project, saying she "wrestled control of the film" and claimed the final version of the film was a far cry from the original plan. "I think there was a massive compromise in terms of Justin’s original vision for the film,” Spencer claimed.
