An 'observation', if you may, that was drawn by the audiences on the Internet was that Blake Lively had been unpleasant to not just interviewers but also co-stars. However, as Lively makes her fight legal while alleging that Justin Baldoni was involved in a smear campaign against her while also accusing him of sexual assault, her former co-stars were among the first to jump up in support. Lively's co-stars from The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants released a joint statement, making it clear that they stand behind their friend.
The friends further went on to slam the Internet's treatment of the topic while also shedding light on how such instances where wrong narratives about a woman being vindictive in order to discredit her voice, are nothing new. Lively's co-stars posted the note with the caption "In support of our sister, Blake."
It has truly been a wild turn of events as the audience finds itself on hand gobsmacked after reading the evidence while on the other still holding her accountable for the careless she had promoted a movie about abuse. Regardless, the support for Blake Lively seems to be growing.
