It Ends with Us Brandon Sklenar has set the record straight on why he wore a floral brooch that is similar to his co-star Justin Baldoni in a public event.
While attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party earlier this month, fans noticed that Sklenar was wearing a brooch that is similar to what Baldoni wore during the red carpet premiere of It Ends with Us last year.
Since then, fans have been speculating whether Sklenar's brooch was his subtle statement on which side he is supporting in the ongoing legal battle between Baldoni and Blake Lively.
Brandon Sklenar Addresses Wearing a Brooch Similar to Justin Baldoni
In a recent interview, Sklenar broke his silence and addressed why he was wearing a brooch that is similar to Baldoni's.
He explained that it was all coincidental and he did not intend to show his side on the issue through the brooch that he wore in the event.
"Honestly, no. I wish I could say there was," Sklenar said when asked whether there was a hidden meaning behind the brooch.
"That was a total happenstance. I woke up in the morning and saw an article and I was like, 'Oh, damn.' I literally had no idea," he added.
"I had an idea I wanted to wear like a floral brooch of some kind and that was the color that I liked the best. And, lo and behold, someone also wore that prior to me wearing it."
While Sklenar initially showed his support for Lively when news broke that the actress filed a suit against Baldoni, he has been mum about his take on the legal battle and has chosen to be neutral as the public dispute is still ongoing.
