In a surprising development, Adam Manshin, an actor from the film “It Ends With Us,” has publicly challenged Blake Lively’s claims made in her recent lawsuit. Manshin, who portrayed Dr. Dunar, the OBGYN in the film, asserts that Lively’s portrayal of events on set does not match his experience. He expressed his astonishment at her accusations, particularly regarding the intimate birth scene he was involved in.
Lively’s lawsuit claims that the casting of Manshin’s friend for the OBGYN role was inappropriate due to his close friendship with director Justin Baldoni. She described feeling uncomfortable and humiliated during the filming of the scene, alleging a lack of standard industry protections. However, Manshin refutes these claims, stating, “My experience working with her is very different than the one she described.” He emphasizes that he never witnessed any unprofessional behavior and that Lively’s assertions about the scene were exaggerated.
Manshin, who holds a Master of Fine Arts from UCLA and has an extensive acting background, highlighted the importance of trust in selecting someone for such a vital role. He also criticized Lively’s insinuations about his qualifications, asserting that they were unfounded and easily verifiable.
While Lively’s representatives declined to comment, the controversy continues to unfold, with Manshin indicating his willingness to testify if called upon. His statements add a new layer to the ongoing narrative surrounding Lively’s lawsuit, illustrating the complexities of the situation on set. As more individuals step forward, the entertainment community watches closely, eager to see how this legal battle will evolve.
