Abigail Breslin shares two cents on Blake Lively's lawsuit against Justin Baldoni

Abigail Breslin is supporting Blake Lively as the actress has filed a legal lawsuit against her It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni.

Extending her support to the 37-year-old actress, who accused her costar of sexual harassment while shooting It Ends With Us, Breslin penned a lengthy statement on Instagram.

The 28-year-old actress expressed that she feels women have been "scapegoated" in such situations when compared to men.

The Little Miss Sunshine actress, “In light of recent events regarding the attempt to destroy the career and livelihood of a fellow actress and woman, I have felt compelled to write this, as I have unfortunately been subject to the same toxic masculinity throughout my life.”

The Oscar-nominated actress said that she had hope in change amid the "#MeToo movement" that has dissipated in the years since.

“There seemed to be an uprising, a new wave of recognition for those who had been abused, degraded, slandered, silenced and it was loud,” Breslin said, adding, "But it was the kind of noise I can only liken to a firework. It can wake you up out of a sound sleep, it burns so bright and shocks the s*** out of you but then, it burns out - just like that."

Shedding light into her own background, the actress wrote, “When a suit was filed against me by a former employer, (the suit was withdrawn), after making a confidential complaint against a coworker for unprofessional behavior, I had the silly and naive impression they would believe me.”

“I am not known as a liar in my field of work, no matter how vocal I may be. Hence, why I’ve been working for 25 years. Instead of being believed and protected, a suit was filed against me for having the audacity to speak up.”

According to the 28-year-old actress, she was “publicly shamed and defamed in the process”.

Breslin added, "This MUST change' in terms of gender-based perceptions."

She wrapped up in asking, "How can a man do anything but lie when he is consistently told his deceptions are gospel? Are we forever to hold the burden of being 'perfect' to be victims and to be believed?"

Abigail Breslin's remarks on the on-going controversy came as Lively's publicist Leslie Sloane denied spreading stories intended to damage Baldoni reputation amid the release of It Ends with Us.

For the unversed, Blake Lively has accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and a campaign to "destroy" her reputation.
