Blake Lively reacts to Colleen Hoover's support amid Justin Baldoni lawsuit

Blake Lively has subtly responded and shown appreciation for It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover’s support for her against Justin Baldoni.

Hoover shared a lengthy message in support of Blake after first releasing a shorter statement to praise the actress. The Gossip Girl star liked the post in appreciation of the author’s support.

Hoover took to Instagram to share the message of support Blake’s Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants co-stars Alexis Bledel, America Ferrara, and Amber Rose Tamblyn put out for her.

In the caption, the author wrote: “This statement from these women and Blake’s ability to refuse to sit down and ‘be buried’ has been nothing short of inspiring. Seeing these three women stand up for their friend when they know good and well they’re going to be ripped apart by the people who choose to not accept or read receipts is inspiring.”

“I wanted to show support, but I had anxiety thinking of putting my post about Blake in my feed and sending myself into a mental spiral from the inevitable comments,” the author shared.

She continued: “They can be vile, and over the last year or two, there’s been a huge shift in my attitude toward social media. I used to share so much of my life, every single day, but that all changed when I noticed people weren’t necessarily following me out of interest, but rather to tear me down.”

“Rather than stand up for myself and for truth, I allowed and still allow people to blindly judge me without a rebuttal, because that’s what we’re told to do,” the Verity author added. “I am done being afraid to post in fear of the comment section hurting my reputation. I do not care about my future legacy. I never have. I care about the people who are currently in my life, who I love and know and trust. And I care about the readers who have supported me along the way, and who reach out daily to ask where I’ve been and why I haven’t released a book in years.”

Collen Hoover went on to promise her fans that she’ll post frequently from now on.
