All the celebrities who have spoken out in support of Blake Lively after Justin Baldoni lawsuit
Many have shown solidarity on social media
Blake Lively has accused her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni of “sexual harassment” and alleged that he started a campaign to “destroy” her reputation, and many celebrities have spoken out in support of her.
She alleged that Baldoni and the Wayfarer Studios CEO, Jamey Heath engaged in “inappropriate and unwelcome behavior towards Ms Lively and others on the set of It Ends With Us” in a lawsuit filed on December 20, the BBC reports.
Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman has denied all the allegations, saying: “It is shameful that Ms Lively and her representatives would make such serious and categorically false accusations against Mr Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and its representatives.”
He said her claims are “intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media” and accused Lively of making many threats.
This includes “threatening to not show up” and “threatening to not promote the film” which would end up “ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met”.
Here are all the celebrities who have supported the actress on social media so far.
Amy Schumer
Comedian and actress Amy Schumer wrote on Instagram “I believe Blake,” which is a big deal because she previously said they were “not close friends” on her sketch show.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow showed a little bit of support for the actress too, sharing a picture of her Blake Brown haircare line on her Instagram stories and writing: “Just added to my Christmas wish list.”
America Ferrera
America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel, who starred with Blake on Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, released a joint statement supporting their long-time friend.

“As Blake’s friends and sisters for over 20 years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation,” they said.
“Throughout the filming of It Ends With Us, we saw her summon the courage to ask for a safe workplace for herself and colleagues on set, and we are appalled to read the evidence of a premeditated and vindictive effort that ensued to discredit her voice.”
Amber Heard
Speaking to NBC, Amber Heard backed Blake too, saying: “Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying ‘A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on.’ I saw this firsthand and up close. It’s as horrifying as it is destructive.”
Robyn Lively
Blake’s sister Robyn, who is also an actress, wrote on her Instagram story “FINALLY justice for my sister @BlakeLively” and then encouraged people to read the entire lawsuit with a link.
Brandon Sklenar
The actor who plays Atlas in It Ends With Us also shared the link to the lawsuit on social media and wrote: “For the love of God read this.” He tagged Blake and put a red heart emoji next to her name.
Colleen Hoover
“Blake Lively, you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met,” the It Ends With Us author said. “Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.”
