As a seasoned movie critic who has witnessed the tumultuous world of Hollywood up close and personal, I find myself deeply saddened but not entirely surprised by the latest turn of events involving Blake Lively’s allegations against Justin Baldoni. Amber Heard, whom I’ve followed closely due to her own high-profile legal battles, has once again found herself in a similar predicament.
Blake Lively is accusing her It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni of mounting a “retaliatory social media campaign” against her in a sexual-harassment complaint. Amber Heard knows what that’s like. The Aquaman actress backed Lively amid the revelation that Baldoni hired the same crisis publicist that her ex-husband Johnny Depp used during his defamation lawsuit against her. (Heard is also suing that crisis publicist, Melissa Nathan.) “Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying ‘A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on,’” Heard told NBC News. “I saw this firsthand and up close. It’s as horrifying as it is destructive.”
In 2022, a jury determined that Amber Heard defamed Johnny Depp by accusing him of abuse in an op-ed she wrote for the Washington Post in 2018. The title of her piece was “I Spoke Up Against Sexual Violence – And Faced Our Culture’s Wrath. That Has to Change.” After the verdict, Heard stated that it rolled back progress and allowed a woman who speaks out against abuse to be publicly ridiculed. Depp collaborated with Adam Nathan during the trial, who is now also representing Baldoni. In her lawsuit, Blake Lively accused Nathan of attempting to change the narrative against Baldoni during the film’s promotional cycle by using “proactive fan posting” and “social manipulations,” which she claimed constituted an alleged smear campaign. Now, Heard has joined a group that includes Lively’s Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants co-stars and It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover in expressing support for Lively.
