America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel have released a joint statement in support of Blake Lively amid the “It Ends With Us” drama.
Their written statement, released via an Instagram post, details their support for Blake:
“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. 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, and we are appalled to read the evidence of a premeditated and vindictive effort that ensued to discredit her voice. Most upsetting is the unabashed exploitation of domestic violence survivors’ stories to silence a woman who asked for safety. The hypocrisy is astounding.
“We are struck by the reality that even if a woman is as strong, celebrated, and resourced as our friend Blake, she can face forceful retaliation for daring to ask for a safe working environment. We are inspired by our sister’s courage to stand up for herself and others.
“For anyone seeking more information or engaging in this important conversation online, please read the full legal complaint in the investigative reporting by Megan Twohey, Mike McIntire, and Julie Tate for the New York Times.”
Amber Tamblyn and America Ferrera are collaborators on the post while Blake Lively is tagged in the first photo. The post was signed “America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, & Alexis Bledel.”
The four movie stars famously worked together on the 2005 feel-good film “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” based on the book of the same name.
