As a fervent advocate for justice and fairness in the entertainment industry, I wholeheartedly commend Blake Lively for her courageous stand against sexual harassment and toxic work environments. Her experience serves as a stark reminder that no one should ever have to endure such mistreatment in pursuit of their dreams.
SAG-AFTRA, the organization that represents about 160,000 actors in Hollywood, has publicly expressed their backing for Blake Lively following her filing of a sexual harassment allegation against Justin Baldoni, her co-star and director on “It Ends With Us.
I fully support and appreciate Blake Lively’s bravery in addressing the crucial issue of retaliation and harassment, as well as her call for having an intimacy coordinator during scenes involving nudity or explicit content. As an organization, we firmly believe that employees have the right to voice their concerns, file complaints, or report misconduct without fear of reprisal. Such actions are not only unlawful but morally reprehensible. We stand with Blake Lively and all those who strive for a safe and respectful work environment.
Over the past weekend, The New York Times published an article stating that Lively made a complaint against Baldoni for sexual harassment, creating a harmful work environment, and attempting to damage her reputation through a strategic smear campaign on social media. Lively asserts that Baldoni’s actions have inflicted “serious emotional harm” not only on her but also on her family. In response, Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman described Lively’s complaint as “disgraceful” and filled with “completely untrue allegations.
As a movie enthusiast, I’ve learned that back in January, there was a gathering to discuss Emily Lively’s apprehensions about resuming work on “It Ends With Us,” following the actor and writer strikes that temporarily halted production. During this meeting, Lively voiced her discomfort over Baldoni bringing up her weight with her fitness coach, pushing her to reveal her religious views, and engaging in unsuitable conversations regarding his personal life.
Lively claimed that Baldoni and Heath, the film’s producer and CEO of Wayfarer Studios respectively, had entered her makeup trailer without seeking her consent, even during a time when she was breastfeeding her baby. The lawsuit stated that Lively’s concerns were not solely for herself but also extended to the female cast and crew members who had voiced their own issues regarding this matter.
SAG-AFTRA encourages anyone facing inappropriate behavior at work to report such incidents to both the organization and their employer. They believe everyone deserves to be treated fairly and professionally, and to work in a setting devoid of harassment, discrimination, and reprisals.
