As a seasoned journalist with years of experience under my belt, I’ve learned to navigate the often murky waters of celebrity scandals with a discerning eye and an open mind. In the case of Blake Lively, a star I’ve long admired for her talent, grace, and unwavering commitment to her craft, the recent allegations against her are troubling, to say the least.
Amber Heard empathizes with Blake Lively.
Following the former star of “Gossip Girl” filing a lawsuit against her co-star and director Justin Baldoni, which involves claims that he orchestrated efforts to tarnish her reputation during times when she had issues with him on set, the actress from “Aquaman” shared insights about her own encounters with harsh public criticism during her legal battle with Johnny Depp.
Social media functions much like the old adage ‘Falsehood spreads faster than truth,’ which I’ve witnessed personally. It’s both shocking and devastating to see.” (paraphrased from the original statement to NBC News on Dec 23)
According to a legal document obtained by TopMob News, Lively’s claim asserts that both Baldoni and It Ends With Us producer Jamey Heath brought in crisis PR expert Melissa Nathan, who has previously worked with figures like Drake and Travis Scott, and was also involved in Johnny Depp’s case against Amber Heard—to counter Lively’s accusations of on-set sexual harassment. (However, lawyers for Heath and Baldoni refute the allegations presented in Lively’s filing).
In reaction to Heard’s statement to NBC News, Bryan Freedman – legal representative of Baldoni – published a message on TopMob News.
In his statement, Freedman noted, “The only connection between these two individuals was that for many years, all of their actions have been publicly visible, extensively captured on film and recorded for public scrutiny. Consequently, the opinions formed about them were not imposed but grew naturally among people.
As a dedicated follower, I’d like to share an account that I’ve come across. In this story, I, as the concerned party, have filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department, which was later obtained by TopMob News. The complaint contains allegations regarding text messages exchanged between Nathan and a publicist for Baldoni. These messages are said to include a statement from her, “You know we can bury anyone,” in reference to my reputation, specifically concerning my public image.
Back in 2019, I found myself at the center of a defamation lawsuit by Johnny Depp following an op-ed piece I wrote about being a victim of domestic violence the previous year. Fast forward to this year, a jury ruled that I was indeed responsible for the defamation claims. Naturally, I didn’t agree with the verdict and decided to appeal. However, amidst the intense online backlash during the trial, I found myself in a tough spot and ultimately chose to settle the case later in 2022. It was truly a difficult decision to make, but one I felt compelled to make due to the relentless vilification I faced online.
In a recent Instagram post, he expressed, “I feel compelled to make clear that I didn’t opt for this situation,” referring to his decision to reach a settlement with his former spouse. “In the process of standing up for my truth, my familiar life crumbled apart.
Heard emphasized that her settling was not an act of concession, adding, “I make this decision having lost faith in the American legal system, where my unprotected testimony served as entertainment and social media fodder.”
Instead, Lively expressed that her decision to take legal action against Wayfarer Studios’ executives was aimed at inspiring others who find themselves in similar circumstances.
She expressed her hope that her lawsuit would expose these underhanded strategies intended to punish those who report wrongdoing, and provide safety for others potentially facing similar situations.

Following Blake Lively’s lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, her It Ends With Us costar and director, alleging sexual harassment during filming and participation in a subsequent smear campaign – accusations he has since refuted through his legal representative – Colleen Hoover, the author of the book upon which the movie is based, extended a message of support to Lively.
On her Instagram Stories, Colleen expressed gratitude towards @blakelively by saying, “From the moment I met you, you’ve been sincere, compassionate, encouraging, and patient. I appreciate you just as you are, an authentic individual. May you always remain genuine and resilient.
Blake’s sister, fellow actress Robyn Lively, also weighed in.
On Instagram, December 23rd, I strongly encouraged everyone to thoroughly read the entire article from The New York Times. This piece sheds light on the complaint my sister filed with the California Civil Rights Department, which addresses those responsible for the cruel and malicious smear campaign intentionally targeting her.
The actress from Teen Witch later pointed out that it similarly underscores the ordeal Blake is said to have faced during the filming of It Ends With Us.
On December 22nd, I felt compelled to express my sentiments about the extraordinary woman I’ve had the privilege of working with twice – Blake. In two movies together, I’ve witnessed firsthand her professionalism, creativity, collaboration, and immense talent. It’s simply unjust that she’s been subjected to this malicious smear campaign. It’s heartbreaking to see her go through such ordeal.
On December 22nd, the comedian expressed her backing for the former Gossip Girl star, posting on her Instagram Story, “I stand with Blake.
Not long after Blake’s grievance became known, the creator of Goop posted a picture of Blake Brown’s hair company on her Instagram Story, stating, “I’ve just put it on my Christmas wish list.
Blake’s closest friends and co-stars from ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants’ composed a unified statement, shared on Instagram December 22nd, expressing their support for her as she bravely confronts the alleged effort aimed at damaging her reputation.
