Brandon Sklenar Stands by Blake Lively Amid Justin Baldoni Allegations
In a shocking turn of events, Blake Lively recently filed a legal complaint against her It Ends With Us co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her. The allegations have sent shockwaves through Hollywood, prompting a wave of support from Lively’s colleagues, friends, and fans.
Brandon Sklenar, who starred alongside Lively in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s book, Atlas Corrigan, is the latest to break his silence on the matter. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Sklenar shared a link to a New York Times article detailing Lively’s legal complaint and urged his followers to read it. The 1923 actor tagged Lively and added a heart emoji, showing his unwavering support for his co-star during this challenging time.
Support from the It Ends With Us cast and crew has been pouring in for Lively since the complaint went public. Colleen Hoover, the author of the book series and an executive producer for the film, praised Lively’s honesty, kindness, and patience in a touching message on social media. Other stars, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Feig, Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, and Alexis Bledel, have also voiced their support for Lively, condemning the alleged harassment and smear campaign.
However, Baldoni has denied all accusations made against him, with his attorney describing the complaint as “categorically false” and an attempt to salvage Lively’s reputation. Despite Baldoni’s denial, the outpouring of support for Lively continues to grow, with celebrities like Robyn Lively, Paul Feig, Amy Schumer, and Amber Heard rallying behind the Gossip Girl alum.
As the industry grapples with these troubling allegations, one thing remains clear: Lively’s courage in speaking out against harassment and injustice has sparked a vital conversation about accountability and support in Hollywood. The solidarity shown by her peers underscores the importance of standing up for what is right, no matter the cost. In a time when truth and integrity are more crucial than ever, Lively’s bravery serves as a beacon of hope for those facing similar challenges in the industry.
