Reports Of Colleen Hoover Retiring After It Ends With Us Drama Have Been Greatly Exaggerated, But Rumors Have Definitely Swirled

by

In the midst of the conflict between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni that arose last summer, the writer of “It Ends With Us,” Colleen Hoover, continued to express her backing for the leading actress and the movie. When Lively’s complaint against the director and his production company was lodged in December, Hoover stood by her side. Lately, however, there have been whispers that the drama surrounding the adaptation of her book may have prompted her to consider retirement, as she has become noticeably silent.

Nevertheless, even though such rumors have circulated widely, they were significantly overstated, as Hoover herself confirmed this fact.

Why People Thought Colleen Hoover Was Retiring

In the ongoing dispute between Lively and Baldoni, which involves legal actions taken by Baldoni against The New York Times, the Gossip Girl star, and Ryan Reynolds, as well as a lawsuit filed by Lively against the director, his production company, and others, Hoover has kept a low profile. She expressed her support for Lively after the complaint was filed, but aside from that, she hasn’t made many comments on the matter.

On January 22nd, the author chose to disable her Instagram account. Following this, Deuxmoi suggested that Hoover stepped down and dismissed her team, indicating a major change in her professional path and public persona.

Subsequently, according to the recent post on Deuxmoi, Hoover explained her professional status on Facebook before reappearing on Instagram shortly thereafter.

How Colleen Hoover Has Responded To Rumors About Her Retirement

Despite Colleen Hoover keeping a low profile in the ongoing legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, she recently provided an update about her professional life. In a January 30 post on her private Facebook group, she mentioned that she continues to work with her long-standing team who are still actively engaged.

Since you’ve been alongside me throughout my 14-year publishing adventure, there are some commitments I want to make for our shared future. Here’s what I pledge:

1. I can rest peacefully at night with a content heart.
2. I am in good spirits.
3. I am joyful.
4. My loyal team of over ten years continues to work with me. They would dismiss me before I dismissed them.

Later on, she jokingly mentioned that while being away from the internet, she’s been “spending her time at home, indulging in reality shows.

Regarding her writing and future endeavors, she didn’t find it a joking matter. She clarified that even though she may not be as active on social media currently, she has no intention of slowing down in her work, expressing this sentiment:

“She doesn’t view her writing or future plans as something to joke about. Despite being less active on social media at present, she remains determined not to cease working.

I’ll make every effort to stay active in this space as often as my circumstances allow, however, I no longer use social media on my phone. Trust me, it’s a wonderful change! So, please don’t feel the need to check back here frequently. As long as there are people who enjoy reading my content, want to see film adaptations of my work, and my fingers can still type, I will persist in sharing my thoughts, even if it’s at a turtle’s pace.

Her post then ended with her thanking her fans for their support and kind messages. Notably, she returned to Instagram a few weeks after she posted this on Facebook too. However, posts about Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have been removed. While a few images about It Ends With Us are still up, anything about those two actors specifically is gone.

In summary, although Hoover has generally remained private during this legal dispute, she clarified that she intends to continue her professional journey. This implies that there will likely be further books from her, along with updates on the film adaptations of her works, such as the upcoming movie “Verity”. Until those arrive, we’ll make sure to keep you informed about how the legal tussle between Lively and Baldoni affects those associated with “It Ends With Us”.
