Lively leveled against Justin Baldoni in a new lawsuit. Baldoni, 40, who directed and starred in the film adaptation of the bestselling Colleen Hoover novel alongside Lively and Sklenar, was accused by the actress of sexual harassment and orchestrating “a coordinated effort” to destroy her reputation following the movie’s release.Sklenar, 34, broke his silence on the controversy and voiced his support for Lively, 37, in an Instagram story he shared on Monday, posting a link to a New York Times article which has the complete legal filing Lively submitted. “For the love of god read this,” wrote the actor, who played Lively’s childhood sweetheart Atlas Corrigan in “It Ends With Us.” Sklenar also tagged Lively’s Instagram account and added a heart emoji next to her handle.

The “1923” star joined another prominent figure in the “It Ends With Us” firmament who has publicly supported Lively. Hoover, 45, who in addition to having penned the source material was an executive producer on the movie, backed the actress in an Instagram story on Saturday. “You have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met,” she captioned a photo of her hugging the star. “Thank you for being exactly the human that you are.

Never change. Never wilt.”Other A-listers have rushed to Lively’s side, including Gwyneth Paltrow, her “A Simple Favor” director Paul Feig and her costars from “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera and Alexis Bledel.
