Colleen Hoover Responds to Blake Lively’s Allegations Against Justin Baldoni
Renowned author Colleen Hoover has voiced her support for actress Blake Lively following Lively’s allegations of sexual harassment against Justin Baldoni, who is both her co-star and the director of the film adaptation of Hoover’s novel, “It Ends With Us.”
On Saturday, Blake Lively came forward with serious accusations against Baldoni, claiming he fostered a hostile work environment during filming. In an interview with The New York Times, Lively recounted her experience and the challenges she faced while working on the project.
In her reaction, Hoover took to Instagram Stories to share the news and express her solidarity with Lively. Alongside a photo from the film’s premiere, she wrote, “Blake Lively, you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive, and patient since the day we met.”
Hoover further emphasized her admiration for Lively, stating, “Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.” A link to Lively’s detailed account in The New York Times was also included in Hoover’s post.
Details of Blake Lively’s Allegations Against Justin Baldoni:
Blake Lively has initiated legal action against Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and accusing him of attempting to discredit her, which has led to significant emotional distress for her and her family. Baldoni’s representatives have publicly denied these claims, calling them “categorically false.”
As reported by TMZ, a meeting was convened during the production to address Lively’s concerns, which reportedly included her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds. The legal documentation outlines several requests from Lively, including restrictions on the discussion of sensitive topics such as Baldoni’s alleged past with pornography, discussions of sexual exploits, and comments related to her family and personal life.
The intensity of the allegations surfaced amid reports of tension between Lively and Baldoni, which was evident during the promotional events for the film where the two did not pose for photographs together on the red carpet and were often seen apart at the premiere.
