**Support from Hollywood: Stars Rally Behind Blake Lively Amid Allegations**

**Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and launching a smear campaign against her while filming “It Ends With Us.”**

In a significant show of support, several notable Hollywood figures, including America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel, have rallied behind actress Blake Lively following her recent legal complaint against her co-star Justin Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment. The situation has garnered considerable media attention, prompting discussions about workplace safety and the broader implications within the film industry.

Lively's legal complaint, filed over the weekend, alleges that Baldoni attempted to undermine her reputation through a series of orchestrated attacks. His legal team has dismissed the allegations as “categorically false,” insisting that Lively's claims aim to challenge the integrity of those involved in the film, ‘It Ends With Us’. In response, Ferrera, Tamblyn, and Bledel, who co-starred with Lively in the 2005 film ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,’ gave a joint statement on Instagram, announcing their "solidarity" with Lively. They expressed their distress over the alleged harassment Lively faced while advocating for a safe workspace on set.

Colleen Hoover, the author of the source material for ‘It Ends With Us,’ also voiced her support, emphasizing Lively's character and kindness. Hoover described Lively as an individual “honest, kind, supportive, and patient” in her interactions since their first meeting. She pointed to an article from The New York Times focusing on Hollywood's smear tactics, thereby linking Lively’s situation to larger systemic issues in the entertainment industry.

Details from Lively's complaint reveal that prior to her claims, there had been a meeting on January 4, 2024, attended by Baldoni, his business partner, and Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds, aimed at discussing a “hostile work environment” on set. During this meeting, various demands were made by Lively's legal team to ensure a healthy and respectful working atmosphere, citing inappropriate behavior from Baldoni and others involved in the production.

Among Lively's demands were strict prohibitions on any mention of past addictions of Baldoni and his business partner and other invasive comments. Her team asserts that Baldoni and the corresponding executives employed a coordinated effort to damage her credibility following her push for a safer workplace.

In stark contrast, Baldoni’s legal representatives claim Lively's allegations are baseless and constitute a strategic campaign to undermine Baldoni’s standing in the industry. They allege that her requests were excessive, including threats of withdrawing from film promotion unless her conditions were adhered to.

The actress has indicated that she aims for her legal action to expose and confront retaliatory tactics often used against those who raise concerns about misconduct in workplaces, hoping to protect others facing similar treatment.

As the story unfolds, Lively continues to be backed by fellow actresses and industry peers, underscoring the challenges and complexities surrounding discussions of female safety and conduct in Hollywood.
