Blake Lively has finally addressed her legal battle with Justin Baldoni in a candid interview, shedding light on the sexual harassment allegations and the smear campaign she claims Baldoni initiated against her. The actress, known for her role in The Green Lantern, has been silent about the ongoing legal drama until now.
Earlier this year, Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, her co-star and director in It Ends With Us, accusing him of sexual harassment. The legal proceedings have sparked significant attention, but Lively remained tight-lipped about the situation—until her recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote her film Another Simple Favor.
In the interview, Lively opened up about the emotional challenges of the year, stating, “What I can say without going too much into it is that this year has been full of the highest highs and the lowest lows of my life.”
The 38-year-old actress also reflected on the broader issue of women speaking out, noting the fear many face when sharing their experiences. “I see so many women around, afraid to speak, afraid to share their experiences, and fear is by design. It’s what keeps us silent,” she explained.
Blake acknowledged the privilege of having a platform to speak out, saying, “I do feel fortunate that I’ve been able to [speak out].” She also credited other women who have used their voices to help her remain strong, adding, “It’s the women who have had the ability to use their voice that’s kept me strong and helped me in my fight for the world to be safer for women and girls.”
