Blake Lively: These stars are behind her during the lawsuit

On December 20th it was announced that Blake Lively (37) was taking legal action against her former co-star Justin Baldoni (40). Both were in front of the camera for the romantic film drama “Only one more time” (English original title “It Ends with Us”, 2024). Now Lively is accusing her colleague, his production company Wayfarer Studios and others involved in the filming of sexual harassment. Some celebrities have now made it clear on social media that they support the actress. “I believe Blake,” emphasized comedian Amy Schumer (43) in a story.

Director Paul Feig (62), who worked with Lively on the films “Just a Little Favor” (2018) and “A Simple Favor 2” (2025), also commented on the current events. “I have now done two films with Blake and all I can say is that she is one of the most professional, creative, collaborative, talented and kindest people I have ever worked with,” Feig wrote. Lively “really didn’t deserve this smear campaign against her.” The screenwriter “finds it terrible that she had to go through that.”

Lively’s fellow actress Gwyneth Paltrow (52) also seemed to want to make it clear online that she was on the 37-year-old’s side. When it became public a few days ago that Lively had filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, Paltrow showed her supposed support in an Instagram story by adding Lively’s hair care line Blake Brown to her Christmas wish list and adding a queen emoji.

While Lively is receiving public approval, Liz Plank (37), the co-host of Baldoni’s “Man Enough” podcast, confirmed on December 23 that she would no longer work with the 40-year-old. “I am writing to you today to inform you that my representatives [Baldonis Produktionsfirma] Wayfarer have informed me that I will no longer be co-hosting the ‘Man Enough’ podcast. “I thank you for trusting me with your hearts and stories, for making room for mine and for making this show what it was,” it said in a statement. You will love your listeners “very much “As this chapter closes for me, I remain committed to the values ​​we have built together,” Plank also emphasized.

Justin Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, commented on Lively’s claims to the US portal “TMZ” when the lawsuit became known. The lawyer described the allegations as “completely false, outrageous and deliberately salacious with the intention of hurting him in public and rehashing a narrative in the media.” They had “proactively” engaged in crisis counseling to protect themselves from “multiple demands and threats” from Lively.
