Blake Lively’s “Courage” Praised By SAG-AFTRA Amid Justin Baldoni Misconduct Allegations; “Retaliation…Is Illegal & Wrong,” Guild Says


SAG-AFTRA has come out condemning the "startling and troubling allegations" and is praising Blake Lively for her courage in speaking out.

“We applaud Blake Lively’s courage in speaking out on issues of retaliation and harassment and for her request to have an intimacy coordinator for all scenes with nudity or sexual content,” a guild spokesperson told Deadline Monday. On Dec. 20, the It All Ends With Us star/producer filed a complaint against her co-star and director Baldoni, along with his company Wayfarer Studios and others with California’s Civil Rights Department. Though Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman adamantly denies any wrongdoing on his client’s part, the matter seems to be escalating quickly with many Hollywood A-listers flocking to Lively’s side and further industry blowback against the Jane the Virgin alum.
