Hollywood Stands by Blake Lively
While the public may be divided over the controversy involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, the entertainment industry has predominantly rallied behind Lively. Since she filed legal action against Baldoni in December 2024, several prominent figures have publicly supported her. Colleen Hoover, the author of “It Ends With Us,” publicly praised Lively, stating on Instagram, “@blakelively you have shown nothing but honesty, kindness, and patience since our paths crossed. Thank you for being your authentic self. Stay true to who you are.”
Director Paul Feig, who has collaborated with Lively previously, advocated for her on X, which was formerly known as Twitter. He stated, “Having made two films with Blake, I can confidently say she is among the most professional, creative, and kind individuals I’ve encountered in the industry,” he tweeted in December. “It’s terrible that she has faced such a smear campaign. She didn’t deserve any of this.”
Other prominent voices siding with Lively include Amy Schumer, Bart Johnson, America Ferrera, and Gwyneth Paltrow, among numerous others.
