Several celebrities have come forward to support Blake Lively after news broke that she is suing her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni, for sexual harassment and being part of a campaign to damage her reputation. Lively plays the protagonist Lily Bloom in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel, while Baldoni portrays her abusive partner, Ryle Kincaid, and served as the film’s director. The actress faced backlash for her “tone deaf” messaging during the press tour, where she was known to promote the film separately from Baldoni. Lively’s lawsuit alleges that negative fan reactions were orchestrated by Baldoni’s PR team, although his lawyers deny this and dismiss the lawsuit as a desperate attempt to rebuild her image.
Numerous celebrities, including Colleen Hoover, Brandon Sklenar, Jenny Slate, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, Gwyneth Paltrow, Shawn Levy, Paul Feig, Michele Morrone, Bart Johnson, Robyn Lively, Amber Heard, and Amy Schumer, have publicly voiced their support for Lively. They have defended her character, professionalism, and courage in standing up against the reported smear campaign. Even those who have previously had no close affiliation with Lively, such as Schumer, have joined in expressing their belief in her claims. The overwhelming support from her peers in the industry underscores the solidarity and respect for Lively as she seeks justice in her lawsuit against Baldoni.
