Blake Lively’s co-stars from “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” including America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel, and Amber Tamblyn, have rallied around her during a tumultuous time involving serious allegations against Justin Baldoni. In a collective message shared on Instagram, the trio expressed their unwavering support for Lively, highlighting their long-standing friendship that spans over two decades.
The actresses condemned what they describe as a malicious effort aimed at tarnishing Lively’s reputation. They stated, “As Blake’s friends and sisters for over twenty years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation.” Their joint statement also criticized the manipulation of domestic violence narratives to undermine a woman seeking safety, calling the situation hypocritical.
Ferrera, Bledel, and Tamblyn detailed their dismay over the exploitation of these sensitive stories to silence Lively, who bravely sought a safe working environment while filming “It Ends with Us.” They expressed admiration for her courage, noting, “We are inspired by our sister’s courage to stand up for herself and others.”
These supportive words came shortly after Lively filed a legal complaint alleging sexual harassment and retaliation from Baldoni. Reports indicate that Baldoni made inappropriate comments towards her during production and reportedly hired a public relations expert to orchestrate a smear campaign against her.
According to court documents, a meeting, which included Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds, was convened to address Baldoni’s inappropriate conduct. In response to the allegations, Baldoni’s attorney has categorically denied the accusations, asserting that they are “completely false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious,” aimed at damaging Lively’s already negative public image.
In the wake of this legal contention, Baldoni has already faced professional repercussions, being let go by his talent agency, WME. The unfolding drama highlights not only the complexities of workplace dynamics in Hollywood but also the resilience of women supporting one another in the face of adversity.
