Some of Blake Lively’s co-stars from It Ends With Us are standing with the actress amid her sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.
On Friday, Dec. 20, the actress filed a lawsuit against Justin and accused him of misconduct on set such as sexual harassment. She also accused the actor of a smear campaign against her on social media after the film’s release to tarnish her reputation. She claimed that Justin’s behavior caused her and her family “severe emotional harm.” Justin Baldoni denied the allegations with his lawyer calling the lawsuit “shameful” and full of “categorically false accusations.”
Brandon on his Instagram Story on Monday, December 23, posted a screenshot of the New York Times article that was Blake’s legal complaint with the words, “For the love of god read this.” In those words, he also linked the article and tagged Blake with a red heart emoji by her name.
Jenny shared her support for Blake in an statement to TODAY on December 23. She said: “As Blake Lively’s castmate and friend, I voice my support as she takes action against those reported to have planned and carried out an attack on her reputation. Blake is a leader, loyal friend and a trusted source of emotional support for me and so many who know and love her.”
She added: “What has been revealed about the attack on Blake is terribly dark, disturbing, and wholly threatening. I commend my friend, I admire her bravery, and I stand by her side.”
Brandon played Atlas Corrigan, the childhood love of Blake’s character, in It Ends With Us. While Jenny portrayed Allysa Kincaid who is the sister of Ryle Kincaid and the sister-in-law of Blake’s Lily Bloom. Justin played the Ryle Kincaid, Lily’s abusive husband, and directed the film as well.
The film is based on Colleen Hoover’s book of the same name. The author also recently threw her support at Blake in an Instagram Story on Saturday, December 21.

Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.”
She additionally added a link to a New York Times article titled We Can Bury Anyone: Inside A Hollywood Smear Machine. The article takes a detailed look inside alleged smear campaign against Blake by Justin and his team.
