Nick Viall Explains The REAL Reason He's Team Blake Lively -- He Met Justin Baldoni, And...

Is Nick Viall still on Team Blake? When people started catching on to the feud between Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star/director Justin Baldoni over the summer, it didn’t take long for the past to creep up and tip the scales against the Gossip Girl star.

Old interviews and stories about Blake resurfaced online, convincing many she’s rude and a mean girl. Remember that “little bump” convo or the bombshell that she allegedly bullied journalists to cover up that Ryan Reynolds cheated on Scarlett Johansson with her?

Yeahhhh. As everything came to light, Blake received a lot of hate from folks online! She basically got the label of being the Regina George of Hollywood!

He refused to jump on the Blake Lively hate train! Why? On an episode of The Viall Files podcast in August, The Bachelor alum could not get over the fact that Justin hired PR crisis manager Melissa Nathan, who represented Johnny Depp during his legal battle with Amber Heard, just as Blake is getting “eviscerated” on the internet.
