Co-stars Ferrera, Tamblyn, and Bledel stand by Lively after allegations against “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni.

Blake Lively has gained public backing from her Hollywood peers, including America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel, after filing a legal complaint against her “It Ends With Us” co-star, Justin Baldoni. The complaint, lodged over the weekend, accuses Baldoni of sexual harassment and a concerted effort to ruin her reputation.

Baldoni’s legal representatives have denied the allegations, labelling them “categorically false.” However, Ferrera, Tamblyn, and Bledel, who starred alongside Lively in the 2005 film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, voiced their support through a joint Instagram post, declaring their solidarity with Lively.

In her statement, Lively’s lawyers detailed the legal complaint, revealing that it follows a meeting earlier this year where concerns about “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behaviour” were raised against Baldoni, who also served as a producer on the film. The meeting involved Lively, Baldoni, other members of the production team, and Lively’s husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, aiming to address the hostile working environment on set.

Lively’s close friends and co-stars expressed their anger over the alleged retaliation she faced, pointing out that the abuse of domestic violence survivors’ stories to silence her was especially appalling. They also condemned the hypocrisy in the treatment of a strong and successful woman like Lively, emphasizing her courage in fighting back for a safer workplace.

Meanwhile, Colleen Hoover, author of It Ends With Us, also extended her support, praising Lively’s character and resilience. Hoover shared her thoughts on Instagram, linking to a New York Times article about Hollywood’s smear tactics and reposting Ferrera, Tamblyn, and Bledel’s statement, which she found inspiring.

The legal filing further details Lively’s requests for changes on set, which included addressing previous inappropriate behaviour from Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios CEO Jamey Heath. Among the demands were requests for no mention of Baldoni’s alleged pornography addiction and a halt to sexually explicit content being added to the film without Lively’s consent.

Lively’s legal team also accuses Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios of a deliberate, retaliatory effort to destroy her reputation. Baldoni’s lawyer, however, responded by accusing Lively of making threats and causing disruptions on set, ultimately attempting to sabotage the film’s success.

Lively herself has expressed hope that her legal action will expose such retaliatory tactics, encouraging others to speak out against misconduct without fear of being silenced.
