Abigail Breslin, the actress best known for her breakout role in 2006’s Little Miss Sunshine, has become the latest in an ever-increasing list of celebrities to voice their support for Blake Lively after she legally accused her former co-star, Justin Baldoni, of sexual harassment.
“In light of recent events regarding the attempt to destroy the career and livelihood of a fellow actress and woman, I have felt compelled to write this, as I have unfortunately been subject to the same toxic masculinity throughout my life,” the Academy Award nominee wrote on Tumblr.
Breslin felt empathy towards Lively, feeling that her experience mirrored her own. The actress was sued in November 2023 by the production company responsible for Classified, a film in which she co-starred with Aaron Eckhart.
