‘It Ends With Us’ author Colleen Hoover supports ‘honest and kind’ Blake Lively amid Justin Baldoni complaint

Colleen Hoover showed her support for Blake Lively after the actress filed a complaint against Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and for allegedly trying to “destroy” her reputation.

The “It Ends With Us” author took to her Instagram Story Saturday to address the bombshell allegations following rumors of drama between the two co-stars on the set of the book’s film adaption.

“@blakelively, you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself and the actress hugging.

Hoover’s best-selling book about domestic violence was turned into a movie and released in theaters this past August, starring Lively, 37, and Baldoni, who also directed the flick.

In the “Gossip Girl” alum’s complaint, which was filed on Friday, she alleged there was an “all-hands” meeting about Baldoni’s behavior on set after he kept showing Lively “nude videos or images of women” and discussing his past “porn addiction.”

Per the filing obtained by Page Six, the “Jane the Virgin” alum was also warned not to talk about the “cast and crew’s genitalia” or mention Lively’s “dead father” or “weight.”

Additionally, Baldoni was allegedly told he couldn’t request to add more sex scenes to the pre-approved script.

The actress’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, was also present at the meeting, according to the docs.

While filming, the actor and Lively worked with intimacy coordinators, which Baldoni previously shared was “so important” so both parties could “feel safe.”

In a statement to Page Six, the movie producer and Wayfarer Studios’ lawyer, Bryan Freedman, vehemently denied the allegations.

“It is shameful that Ms. Lively and her representatives would make such serious and categorically false accusations,” the attorney told us.

“These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media.”
