Blake Lively is slamming The Hollywood Reporter for their recent cover story about her legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni.
A rep for the 37-year-old actress has released a statement in response to the cover, which features an illustration of Blake using a slingshot to shoot a cellphone at Justin as he tries to run away from her.

The rep continued, “The framing in this picture is outrageously insulting as it plays into every sexist trope about women who dare file a workplace complaint, turning them into the aggressor, and suggesting they deserve the retaliation that comes their way. In addition, the story is extremely offensive as it incredibly seems to explain away documented examples of sexual harassment and retaliation by calling them ‘cultural misunderstandings.’”
The Hollywood Reporter‘s cover story about the Blake vs. Justin legal battle also named Jenny Slate as one of the actresses who allegedly filed a complaint against the director.
