Colleen Hoover has left fans perplexed and worried after posting strange videos on social media, coinciding with the ongoing Blake Lively controversy. The bestselling author of It Ends With Us raised eyebrows after sharing a bizarre clip on Instagram, prompting many to question her well-being. This comes as Hoover finds herself under scrutiny due to her involvement in the escalating Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni situation.
Colleen Hoover Leaves Fans Concerned In Strange Videos Amid Lawsuit
In the video, the 45-year-old author appears to be making Diet Pepsi ice cubes while speaking in a slow and dazed manner. “It tastes just like every other Diet Pepsi I’ve ever had. But I guess the kicker is in two hours when this ice starts to melt, it’ll be the best thing I’ve ever had. It’s gonna be a great day,” Hoover remarked. The oddness continued in a follow-up clip, where she humorously berated her boss, Stephanie, for pricing her merchandise too low, warning that if prices weren’t raised, she’d end up “broke as s**t.”

“My boss Stephanie put all of my merch on sale for $10 an item. That’s like five times cheaper than what I paid for each item, which means by the end of the day today, I’m going to be broke as s**t. Thanks, Stephanie, you better be careful because maybe TMZ was right, maybe I am firing all my employees and retiring. Well, I can’t retire now because I’m going to be in the hole by 5pm. Even if you hate me, you should go buy a piece because it’s a very bad thing. It’s still going to be a great day because you guys get almost free merch, congrats,” Hoover joked in a manner that baffled many fans.
Fans React To Colleen Hoover’s Posts
Naturally, the internet responded quickly to Hoover’s peculiar posts, with users speculating about her mental state and commenting on the surreal nature of the video. One user on X joked, “Damn girl, what else you got in those ice cubes?” while another quipped, “When you ditch your friends to hang out with the popular girl and it doesn’t work out.” Comments like “It’s giving morning drunk” and “I just watched it. Gagged. Felt sorry for her. Wonder if BL is going to support her” flooded in, highlighting the confusion surrounding her state of mind.
In response to the mounting concern, Hoover addressed her followers on X, seeking to clarify her intentions. “Today was so interesting,” she wrote. “Aside from the world not understanding my sarcasm and thinking I’m on drugs, when I was literally just excited about my brilliant idea of Diet Pepsi ice cubes at 6am yesterday, THIS MOVIE MAKING BUSINESS IS INSANE.”
Despite her attempt to downplay the situation with sarcasm, fans remain divided on whether the video was simply an offbeat moment or a more serious sign of distress. The strange video has only added to the tension surrounding the author, who is already entangled in the high-profile Blake-Lively controversy.
What’s Going On with the Blake-Baldoni Conflict?
The Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni conflict emerged following the success of It Ends With Us (2024). Lively has filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment on set and orchestrating a smear campaign to damage her public image. In retaliation, Baldoni countersued both Lively and Ryan Reynolds for defamation. This Tuesday, Ryan Reynolds filed a motion to dismiss Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against him and Lively. Reynolds’ legal team argued that Baldoni’s claim of “hurt feelings” lacked merit. The filing also included a statement from Reynolds. It asserted that his characterization of Baldoni as a “predator” was based on his genuine belief at the time.
