Update 1/31/25: Hoover recently took to her Facebook group to give her fans an update on what she's been up to, and it turns out our initial reports were a bit exaggerated. While she has indeed taken a step back from the public eye, it's more of a temporary break than a permanent retirement.
And that "entire team" she supposedly let go? It was actually just one person, according to our sources.
Hoover reassured her fans that she hasn't given up on writing altogether. She plans to return to her craft, but at a slower pace than usual. It seems she's prioritizing her well-being during this time.
Colleen Hoover, the bestselling author behind the controversial novel "It Ends With Us," has taken a step back from the public eye amidst the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Hoover has not only deactivated her Instagram account but has also reportedly retired from writing according to Deuxmoi sources.
Hoover initially showed support for Lively on Instagram, but has since remained silent as the legal battle escalates. Her decision to deactivate her account and withdraw from the public eye suggests a desire to distance herself from the controversy.
Sources close to Hoover reveal that she has also allegedly retired from writing, a surprising move considering her recent foray into the film industry. She also reportedly let go of her entire team, signaling a significant shift in her career and public image.
Whatever the reason, Hoover's withdrawal marks a significant development in the ongoing saga surrounding "It Ends With Us."
