Blake Lively receives support from Hollywood elites

According to AceShowbiz, Gwyneth Paltrow showed her support for Blake Lively by adding Lively’s Brown Haircare line to her Christmas wish list in a now-deleted Instagram Story, accompanied by a compliment and a queen emoji.

Amy Schumer, who once roasted Lively on her ‘Inside Amy Schumer’ show, posted on her Instagram Stories, saying, “I believe Blake,” in response to the lawsuit.

Additionally, Lively’s 'A Simple Favor' director Paul Feig spoke out on X, praising her professionalism and expressing shock over the allegations.

He tweeted, “All I can say is she's one of the most professional, creative, collaborative, talented and kind people I've ever worked with. She truly did not deserve any of this smear campaign against her. I think it's awful she was put through this.”

Blake Lively has also received support from her 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' co-stars, America Ferrera, Amber Rose Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel, who released a joint statement backing her.

They declared, "We stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation."

Blake Lively’s family stands by her side

In addition to her celebrity friends, Blake Lively’s family, including her brother-in-law Bart Johnson and sister Robyn, have publicly criticized Justin Baldoni. Johnson commented on a New York Times Instagram post, calling the campaign against Lively “gross and disgusting but highly effective.”

He urged readers to fact-check the evidence, saying, "Her complaints were filed during the filming. Read this article before spiting ignorance. His PR team was stellar. Gross and disgusting but highly effective. Read the article, their text message exchanges, and his PR campaign strategy to bury her by any means necessary. No one is with out faults. But the public got played."

Johnson praised Lively for her professionalism and resilience, noting her dedication as a mother of four despite enduring what he described as a calculated smear campaign.

He added, "She was attacked by a VERY expensive PR smear campaign because she filed a sexual harassment claim for the very film you have to go out and promote with just the right tone or you get cooked."

Robyn echoed her brother-in-law’s sentiments, posting on Instagram, “FINALLY justice for my sister @blakelively.”
