The cast of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants rallied around Blake Lively during the Justin Baldoni situation.

Blake Lively's Co-Stars Express Solidarity Amid Legal Drama with Justin Baldoni
Blake's friends and co-stars, Ferrera, Tamblyn, and Bledel, expressed their support for her, saying, “Having known Blake for over 20 years, we’re here for her as she confronts the campaign aimed at tarnishing her reputation.”
They added, “While filming ‘It Ends With Us,’ we witnessed her bravery in advocating for a safe work environment for herself and her colleagues. It’s shocking to see the calculated and malicious attempts to undermine her voice.”
“What’s most disturbing is the blatant misuse of domestic violence survivors’ experiences to silence a woman who simply sought safety. The hypocrisy is unbelievable,” they continued.
“It’s a harsh reality that even a strong, celebrated, and well-resourced woman like Blake can face severe backlash for asking for a safe workplace.”
This statement follows Lively's allegations against Baldoni for sexual harassment on the set of It Ends With Us.
Lively mentioned that the situation escalated to the point where an all-hands meeting was called to tackle what she described as a toxic work environment. She also claimed that the “smear campaign” initiated by Baldoni led to her experiencing “severe emotional distress.”
On the other hand, Baldoni's attorney, Bryan Freedman, denied the allegations, labeling them as “false, outrageous, and deliberately sensational to cause public harm.”
Freedman claimed that Lively's lawsuit aimed to “repair her tarnished reputation,” stating that she frequently threatened not to show up to set or promote the film, which ultimately affected its release.
“We admire our sister’s bravery in standing up for herself and others,” the Sisterhood cast wrapped up.
