Blake Lively's sister Robyn calls actress ‘one of the best humans’ amid ‘It Ends With Us’ controversy

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Robyn Lively has stepped up to support her younger sister Blake Lively amid the storm of controversy surrounding her latest movie 'It Ends With Us'.

This comes after reports suggested that Blake is deeply concerned about how the backlash from on-set drama might jeopardize her future career. 

The 37-year-old actress is at the heart of this controversy, facing intense criticism for promoting the film—a moving story about a woman dealing with domestic abuse—and for the alleged on-set tensions.

Celebrating Blake Lively on her 37th birthday on Sunday, August 25, Robyn Lively posted a carousel of memorable photographs captioned, "That's my bday queen right there! I love this girl, my sister, my best friend, my little piggy back buddy! You are one of the best humans I know. HAPPY birthday sissy britches! 💞🥳." 

In response, a fan defended the 'Gossip Girl' star by commenting, "Blake is a lovely human being! I hope she knows that the number of people who love her far outweighs the negative voices. Happy Birthday Blake!!"

Robyn appreciated the support and replied, "Thank you for this."

The Instagram carousel post included four slides. In the first slide, Robyn took a selfie with Blake, who was holding up a birthday sticker behind her. The second slide featured the sisters smiling together, both with loose hairstyles and wearing matching black dresses.

The third slide showed a throwback of them hugging on the seashore with broad smiles. The fourth slide captured another nostalgic moment with Robyn giving Blake a piggyback ride.

As of August 27, the post has received over 25,000 likes and several comments, just a day after it was shared.

Robyn isn’t the only one defending Blake. Her 'Ends With Us' co-star Brandon Sklenar also voiced his support amid the online criticism directed at the mother of four. 

On social media, Sklenar stated, "Colleen [Hoover, the author of the original book] and the women of this cast stand for hope, perseverance, and for women choosing a better life for themselves." 

He added, "Vilifying the women who put so much of their heart and soul into making this film because they believe so strongly in its message seems counterproductive and detracts from what this film is about."
