Amber Heard has publicly supported Blake Lively following Lively's lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, which alleges sexual harassment and a smear campaign against her. Heard emphasized the destructive nature of social media, stating, 'A lie travels halfway around the world before the truth has time to put on shoes.' Lively's lawsuit claims Baldoni and producer Jamie Heath engaged in inappropriate conduct and attempted to damage her reputation through targeted social media campaigns. Lively's complaint includes allegations of a hostile work environment and explicit comments made by Baldoni regarding her weight and body image during the filming of 'Never Again.'
Lively's supporters, including her former co-stars from 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,' have rallied behind her, expressing horror at the alleged vindictive efforts to discredit her. They highlighted Lively's strength in demanding a healthy work environment on set. The lawsuit also reveals communications suggesting a coordinated effort to undermine Lively's credibility, with Baldoni's publicist allegedly stating they could 'bury anyone' in a PR attack.
Baldoni has denied the allegations, calling them 'completely false' and claiming that the situation has been extensively documented, allowing the public to form their own opinions. As the legal battle unfolds, the controversy has sparked broader discussions about the intersection of social media, reputation management, and the treatment of women in Hollywood.
