Celebrities who support Blake Lively after harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni

Blake Lively is receiving overwhelming public support from her Hollywood peers following the news of her sexual harassment lawsuit against It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni.

The Gossip Girl alum filed the lawsuit on December 20, alleging Baldoni engaged in inappropriate behavior on set, including body-shaming her and attempting to add intimate scene against her will into the film. 

Lively also claimed that Baldoni later tried to damage her reputation with what she described as a 'social manipulation' campaign.

Baldoni has denied the allegations through his lawyer, calling them 'completely false' and 'intentionally salacious.'

Lively, however, stood firm, telling The New York Times, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”

Since the lawsuit went public, several stars have spoken out in Lively’s defense. Here are the most notable names showing their support:

Amy Schumer

The comedian made her stance clear with a short but powerful Instagram Story on December 22.

“I believe Blake.”

Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow took to Instagram to show support to Lively. She promoted the fellow actress' new Blake Brown hair care line on her Instagram stories, and wrote, "Just added to my Christmas wish list.”

Colleen Hoover

The author of It Ends With Us was among the first to publicly back Lively.

“Blake Lively you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met,” Hoover wrote in a December 21 Instagram Story. “Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.”

Amber Heard

Amber Heard, who has dealt with her own high-profile legal battle against Johnny Depp, spoke about Lively’s case in a statement to NBC News on December 23.

“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,” Heard wrote. “It’s as horrifying as it is destructive.”

Brandon Sklenar

Brandon Sklenar, who portrayed Atlas in It Ends With Us, showed public solidarity with his costar by reposting The New York Times article.

“For the love of God read this,” he wrote alongside a heart emoji directed at Lively’s Instagram handle.

Jenny Slate

Jenny Slate, who played Allysa in It Ends with Us, offered one of the most heartfelt public statements in support of Lively.

“As Blake Lively's cast mate and friend, I voice my support as she takes action against those reported to have planned and carried out an attack on her reputation,” Slate told Today.com. 

“Blake is a leader, loyal friend and a trusted source of emotional support for me and so many who know and love her.”

She continued, “What has been revealed about the attack on Blake is terribly dark, disturbing, and wholly threatening. I commend my friend, I admire her bravery, and I stand by her side.”
