The feud between the actors escalated after filming the movie “All Ends on Us” based on the novel by Colleen Hoover. Blake Lively filed an 80-page lawsuit, claiming that Justin Baldoni sexually harassed her on set. The 40-year-old actor and director, of Italian descent, has already hired crisis PR manager Melissa Nathan, who previously worked with Johnny Depp after his ex-wife, Amber Heard, accused him of domestic violence.
As a result, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star managed to dismiss the accusations, restore his reputation, and even receive moral compensation from Amber. Now, Heard has supported Lively following the explosive accusations. “Social media is the absolute embodiment of the classic saying ‘A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its shoes on.’ I’ve seen this firsthand and up close. It’s as awful as it is destructive,” said the Aquaman star.
As a result of the legal battles with her ex-husband, Amber’s career in Hollywood collapsed. She was removed from several projects and no longer offered roles. “This verdict takes us back to a time when a woman who spoke out and was open could be publicly shamed and humiliated,” the actress said in a statement to NBC News.
Heard noted that during her trial, she was bullied online in the same way that The Age of Adaline star is currently facing a wave of criticism after her lawsuit against Baldoni. According to Amber, this is incredibly unfair. Depp’s ex-wife is currently living in Spain with her 3-year-old daughter, Una, and expecting her second child.
Ryan Reynolds’ wife was also supported by her close friend, Taylor Swift. The singer feels horrible that Blake has had to face so much hate after filing the lawsuit against Baldoni. “Taylor is shocked by the revelations related to Blake Lively’s lawsuit, and she’s urging her friend to get to the bottom of it. Taylor supports Blake and feels awful about what the actress has had to go through.”
The two stars have been friends for over ten years. The singer included the names of Lively and Reynolds’ three older children in her song “Betty” from her 2020 album Folklore. While accepting an award in 2021, she mentioned her friends and their children: “I want to thank James, Ines, Betty, and their parents. They are the people to whom I show every new song I write, one of the first.”
Over the past two years, Lively has taken her daughters to several Eras Tour concerts so they could experience Taylor Swift’s performance live. In 2022, the artist invited Lively to appear in the music video for her song I Bet You Think About Me. The two friends are frequently seen together at girls’ nights out, supporting each other at important career events.
