Amber Heard supports Blake Lively amid Justin Baldoni sexual harassment scandal

Amber Heard, who left Hollywood after losing a court case with her ex-husband Johnny Depp and is now expecting a child, supported 37-year-old Blake Lively, who found herself at the center of a scandal with her co-star in the film "It Ends With Us", 40-year-old Justin Baldoni. The actress accused him of sexual harassment during the work on the film, as well as public bullying. Interestingly, Baldoni works with crisis PR manager Melissa Nathan, who was responsible for Johnny Depp's image during his legal battles with Heard.

Heard, 38, says she knows what Blake is going through and called her story "a terrible reminder of her own experience. "Social media is the ultimate embodiment of the saying, 'A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth has its pants on.' I've seen it and felt it. "It's horrible and devastating," Amber told NBC News. In 2022, Amber Heard lost a lawsuit against Johnny Depp, to whom she had been married for about a year, and then accused him of domestic violence. He, in turn, accused her of slander, and their legal battles caused a great public outcry. Many netizens sided with Johnny Depp, which, according to Amber, helped him win. She herself later spoke about the bullying and said that her defeat would have a negative impact on the rights of women who would be afraid to report violence.

According to Blake, during their work together, Baldoni caused her "severe emotional distress", "repeatedly sexually harassed her and demonstrated other shocking behavior": for example, he discussed his sexual addiction in front of her, showed photos of naked women, publicly discussed the genitals of the film crew members. Also, according to the actress, he commented on her weight. In addition, he also "improvised" during the filming of bed scenes without prior approval, while insisting on takes. Later, Baldoni, according to her, organized a public harassment against her. Blake was accused of the fact that during the promotional tour for "It Will End with Us", the actress began to be condemned for not paying due attention to the main theme of the film - domestic violence, and the media began to discuss her old interviews in which she was rude to reporters.

The scandal has already had consequences: the WME agency has stopped working with Baldoni.
