Blake Lively’s costars from The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants — America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel — have spoken out after she filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.
As Lively, 37, sues her It Ends With Us costar and director, 40, for sexual harassment among additional allegations, her ex-castmates opened up about their firsthand experience with her.
Lively — whose sister recently defended her — previously starred opposite Ferrera, Tamblyn and Bledel in the 2005 coming-of-age adventure movie, which follows four best friends that buy a mysterious pair of pants that fits each of them perfectly despite them all being different sizes.
In a joint Instagram post, Tamblyn and Ferrera released a statement signed by all three of them, including Bledel, who is not active on Instagram.
‘In support of our sister, Blake,’ they wrote in the caption and signed off with a red heart emoji and their first names.
‘As Blake’s friends and sisters for over twenty years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation,’ the trio’s statement read.

‘Throughout the filming of It Ends With Us, we saw her summon the courage to ask for a safe workplace for herself and colleagues on set,’ they stated.
‘And we are appalled to read the evidence of a premeditated and vindictive effort that ensued to discredit her voice,’ they continued.
The three actresses also condemned Baldoni’s alleged attempt to ‘bury’ Lively — as he and his team reportedly stated in a private message that was made public in the court documents — under the guise of having good intentions and trying to shed light on domestic violence, the pivotal message of It Ends With Us.
‘Most upsetting is the unabashed exploitation of domestic violence survivors’ stories to silence a woman who asked for safety,’ Lively’s Sisterhood costars wrote.
‘The hypocrisy is astounding.’
Ferrera, Tamblyn and Bledel tagged Lively in their post.
Additionally, Ferrera and Tamblyn shared the post on their Instagram Stories alongside the link to the New York Times article about the lawsuit Lively filed on Friday.
‘I was a confidant for my sister Blake while she went through some of this experience,’ Tamblyn wrote alongside her Instagram Stories post.
