Another co-star has shared their support for Blake Lively following her bombshell lawsuit against director Justin Baldoni.
It Ends With Us actor Brandon Sklenar is urging people to read all of the details of the documents which have been shared.
It comes after Lively filed a lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment, along with retaliating with a smear campaign against her after she complained of a 'hostile work environment' on set.

Lively faced months of criticism on social media during the film's press tour, which intensified when old interview footage resurfaced which showed Blake in a negative light. Her legal complaint suggests Baldoni's PR team may have been partly responsible for the backlash she faced.
Baldoni vehemently denies all of Lively's allegations.
Brandon posted a plea on his Instagram story, asking for people to support Lively and make sure to read everything in the legal complaint.
He stars in the film as the older version of Atlas Corrigan, the former love interest of Blake's character Lily Bloom.

Sharing a screenshot of Blake's complaint, Brandon wrote on it "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD READ THIS.”
He also included a link to the New York Times article about the lawsuit, and tagged Blake's social media account too along with a red heart emoji.
This isn't the first time Brandon has rallied support for the project, writing on social media in August calling for people to 'be a part of something better together', tagging his co-stars.

He edited the caption on Monday, changing it to a heart.
It previously read: "Vilifying the women who put so much of their heart and soul into making this film because they believe so strongly in its message seems counterproductive and detracts from what this film is about. It is, in fact, the opposite of the point."
Talking about the negativity surrounding the film, he also told Access Hollywood it 'just seemed silly to me'.
He added: "It's an important film for so many women and so many survivors of domestic abuse and that's what it's all about, is making people feel heard and strong and loved."

Another co-star to support Blake is Jenny Slate, who shared a statement with Today.
It reads: “As Blake Lively’s castmate and friend, I voice my support as she takes action against those reported to have planned and carried out an attack on her reputation.
"Blake is a leader, loyal friend and a trusted source of emotional support for me and so many who know and love her.”

She continued: “What has been revealed about the attack on Blake is terribly dark, disturbing, and wholly threatening. I commend my friend, I admire her bravery, and I stand by her side.”
Her former Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants co-stars have also reached out to offer their support for Blake.
Blake's complaint alleges sexual harassment and discrimination from co-star and director Justin Baldoni.
It claims that she 'has suffered from grief, fear, trauma, and extreme anxiety' thanks to the alleged actions of Baldoni, such as 'invasive, unwelcome, unprofessional and sexually inappropriate behavior'.
Baldoni's lawyers have responded to the claims, saying they are 'false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt'. You can read the full statement here.
