Blake Lively continues to receive support from her peers in Hollywood.
On Monday, Michele Morrone took to Instagram Stories to speak out after the actress filed a lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star/director Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign to “destroy” her career. According to the 365 Days alum, he noticed the toll the experience of filming the movie took on Blake as they worked together this past spring on A Simple Favor 2. Michele recalled:
“It’s usually not my thing to make those kinds of videos, but I think it’s time to stand up for a person I really love and this person is Blake Lively. I personally met Blake during A Simple Favor 2. We shot this incredible film together and I felt something was wrong, and I felt the pain … We had the opportunity to talk, me and her, [and] Blake was in pain.”
Heartbreaking. Because he knows how hard her time on IEWU was, he is now “really tired” of the “cruel and bad comments” about Blake “without knowing the situation” – and he wants it to stop. So, Michele linked the New York Times article about the allegations against Justin and asked everyone to read it “to make you understand, before commenting, what happened.” He then sent some “love” to Blake, saying:
“Blake, I love you so much. Keep it up and we’re going to see each other very soon. Love you.”
Michele is not the first person to support Blake. Her Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants co-stars and friends, Amber Heard, and others have spoken out, and we bet we’ll see more come to her defense in the coming days.
