Blake Lively is getting some high-profile support in the midst of allegations she’s made against her “It Ends With Us” director and co-star, Justin Baldoni.
The author of the book that film was based on, Colleen Hoover, posted a message of support on her Instagram stories over the weekend.
“@blakelively, you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met,” Hoover wrote, alongside a photo of her and the star embracing. “Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.”
Lively’s co-stars from another of her film projects has also rallied around.
America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel are fellow cast members of Lively in the 2005 movie “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” released a joint statement over the weekend, writing, “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.”
“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,” the statement reads. “Most upsetting is the unabashed exploitation of domestic violence survivors’ stories to silence a woman who asked for safety. The hypocrisy is astounding.”
They added, “We are struck by the reality that even if a woman is as strong, celebrated, and resourced as our friend Blake, she can face forceful retaliation for daring to ask for a safe working environment.”
