Allegations against Justin Baldoni and support for Lively

The lawsuit, filed by Blake Lively and detailed in a New York Times article, accuses Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios of orchestrating a campaign to harm Lively’s reputation after she raised concerns about "repeated s*xual harassment and other disturbing behavior" by Baldoni and another producer. In her legal statement, Lively said:

"I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics... and helps protect others who may be targeted."

Author Colleen Hoover, who wrote the bestselling novel It Ends With Us, also voiced her support for Lively, describing her as "honest, kind, supportive, and patient" in an Instagram post.
