All of Blake Lively's co-stars in 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' air support for her case against Justin Baldoni
Blake Lively's co-stars at "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel, and Amber Tamblyn, took to social media to air their support for her as she filed a sexual harrassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.
In a collective statement on Instagram, America, Amber, and Alexis expressed solidarity with the "It Ends With Us" actress.
"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," the statement read.
"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," it added.
Over the weekend, news of Blake filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin made the rounds on social media.
According to a report from PEOPLE, Blake alleges that Justin's behavior caused her "severe emotional distress."
In a statement given to the New York Times newspaper, Blake said: "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."
Meanwhile, Justin denied the accusations through a statement sent by his lawyer, Bryan Freedman, to The New York Times.
"These claims are completely false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media," Freedman said.
Blake and Justin starred in the movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover's book of the same title. It's coming to Netflix later this month.
