Ryle

In Lively's lawsuit, she alleges that in this scene, Baldoni did not act in character as Ryle but "instead, he spoke to Ms. Lively out of character as himself."

It Ends With Us tells the story of Boston florist Lily Bloom, played by Ms Lively, as she navigates a love triangle between her charming but abusive boyfriend, Ryle Kincaid, played by Mr Baldoni, and her compassionate first love, Atlas Corrigan, played by Mr Sklenar.

But her drinks business Betty Booze has promoted cocktail recipes inspired by the film’s characters - including the abuser, Ryle.

In his Instagram post, Brandon also hints at rumours of a rift between Blake and Justin, who plays Lily's charming but abusive boyfriend Ryle Kincaid.

The onscreen version of Lily’s love interest, neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid, is portrayed by the film’s director and producer Justin Baldoni, best known for winning the final rose on "Jane the Virgin."
