Lively’s formerSisterhood of the Traveling Pantscostars Ferreira, Tamblyn and Bledel put out a joint Instagram statement “in support” of their “sister, Blake.”

“Throughout the filming ofIt Ends with Us,we saw her summon the courage to ask for a safe workplace for herself and colleagues on set, and we are appalled to read the evidence of a premeditated and vindictive effort that ensured to discredit her voice,” the statement read. “Most upsetting is the unabashed exploitation of domestic violence survivors' stories to silence a woman who asked for safety. The hypocrisy is astounding.”

“I do know my sister. She is one of the kindest, most honest and loving humans I know,” she wrote. “Blake isn’t a villain. She’s a mama bear to her core, a loving and supportive wife, a sister, a friend, and someone who worked her ass off on a film in abominable working conditions.”

She added, “I’m so proud of her. Proud that she has handled herself with such grace and didn’t cave, that she didn’t allow herself to be silenced in the face of adversity and lies. I hope this gives others the strength to do the same.
