Hollywood stars and the entertainment world show their support for Blake Lively in her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni
Among the first to show their support are actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow and Amy Schumer. Paltrow used her social media to indirectly support Lively, including products from the actress's hair care line on her Christmas wish list, accompanied by a crown emoji.
On the other hand, Schumer, known for her past criticisms of Lively, wrote in her Instagram stories a simple yet strong message: "I believe in Blake." Paul Feig, who worked with Lively on "A Simple Favor," publicly praised her professionalism and lamented the treatment she received. "She is one of the most talented and collaborative people I have ever met. This is completely unfair," he declared on social media.
In addition, Lively's co-stars in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel, issued a joint statement expressing their solidarity. "We are shocked that even a strong and well-known woman like Blake is subjected to retaliation for demanding a safe work environment," they stated.

In the complaint, Lively details disturbing episodes on set, including inappropriate sexual comments and the introduction of unauthorized sexual content scenes by Baldoni. According to the actress, when she expressed her complaints, Baldoni and his partner Jamey Heath allegedly hired a public relations agency to publicly discredit her.
On the other hand, Baldoni has categorically denied the accusations, calling them “false and scandalous”. His lawyer, Bryan Freedman, argued that the claims aim to “repair Lively’s reputation at the expense of his client”.
