Blake Lively hailed for bravery amid Justin Baldoni lawsuit

Blake Lively is receiving praise for speaking up about sexual harassment.

In a new chat with TODAY.com, Jenny Slate spoke highly of her close friend, Blake Lively and extended her support for Blake in the wake of current lawsuit.

She began, “As Blake Lively’s cast mate and friend, I voice my support as she takes action against those reported to have planned and carried out an attack on her reputation.”

Jenny went on to add, “Blake is a leader, loyal friend and a trusted source of emotional support for me and so many who know and love her.”

“What has been revealed about the attack on Blake is terribly dark, disturbing and wholly threatening,” she also mentioned.

The doting friend continued to heap praise for the wife of Ryan Reynolds by saying, “I commend my friend, I admire her bravery, and I stand by her side.”

This report comes amid Blake’s sexual harassment lawsuit against It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni in which she claimed that Justin and producer Jamey Heath “discussed their personal sexual experiences and previous p*rn addiction” with Blake “and tried to pressure [Lively] to reveal details about her intimate life.”
