The statement includes, “As Blake's friends and sisters for over twenty years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation.”
They further mentioned that through the shooting for It Ends With Us, they witnessed her gather the bravery to ask for a workplace that was “safe” for herself and for her other colleagues on set and that they were “appalled to read the evidence of a premeditated and vindictive effort that ensued to discredit her voice.”
The statement added, “Most upsetting is the unabashed exploitation of domestic violence survivors' stories to silence a woman who asked for safety. The hypocrisy is astounding.”
The actresses continued, “We are struck by the reality that even if a woman is as strong, celebrated, and resourced as our friend Blake, she can face forceful retaliation for daring to ask for a safe working environment.”
The statement also mentioned, “We are inspired by our sister's courage to stand up for herself and others. “For anyone seeking more information or engaging in this important conversation online, please read the full legal complaint in the investigative reporting by Megan Twohey, Mike McIntire, and Julie Tate for the New York Times.”

Now, the Age of Adeline star suing the Five Feet Apart director shocked the world and people online have started taking their sides and posting their respective opinions over the matter.
