00:00The celebrities who support Blake Lively against Justin Baldoni are pretty surprising.

00:05From Amber Heard to Amy Schumer, plenty of Hollywood mainstays are lining up in support

00:09of Blake.

00:22Amber Heard, no stranger to high-profile legal stuff, has publicly expressed her support

00:27for Blake Lively amid the It Ends With Us lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

00:38After news broke that Baldoni had hired the same PR team that worked with Johnny Depp

00:43during his infamous feud with Amber Heard, Amber Heard spoke out in a statement to NBC

00:47News on December 23, 2024.

00:50Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying, a lie travels halfway

00:55around the world before truth can get its boots on.

00:58Amber wrote, I saw this first hand and up close, it's as horrifying as it is destructive.

01:09Amber's words reflect her own experience during the tumultuous defamation trial with

01:13her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, who in 2022 won a defamation suit against her and was awarded

01:18$10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.

01:23The trial dominated headlines and social media, with Amber Heard enduring an intense

01:27wave of public scrutiny and online backlash.

01:32Whitney Cummings didn't just pick a side in the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni drama,

01:38she unleashed a full-scale roast on TikTok, holding nothing back.

01:42In her scathing takedown, Whitney called out Justin for allegedly using his public persona

01:46as a feminist ally to cover questionable behavior.

01:49I don't like when guys, especially symmetrical ones, try to get points for being like a feminist

01:55or like an ally, Whitney quipped at the start of the video.

01:59When guys fight for women's rights, it's how they get to bed.

02:02The comedian's biting humor didn't stop there.

02:04She accused Justin of embodying what she dubbed big charity energy, insinuating that his visible

02:10support for various causes might be more about appearances than genuine commitment.

02:15Whitney even took a jab at Justin's work as an author, mocking his young adult self-help

02:20book, Boys Will Be Human, a get-real gut-check guide to becoming the strongest, kindest,

02:25bravest person you can be.

02:27What a mouthful for a book.

02:29This is like a sociopath's idea of what the world needs, she said with a straight face

02:33while holding up a photo of the book.

02:35Whitney wrapped up her takedown by imagining Justin's future apology, predicting he'd

02:39blame it all on internalized misogyny, being too sensitive, and being in ketosis.

02:45Her sharp wit and no-holds-barred approach resonated with fans, many of whom praised

02:49her for tackling a serious issue with her signature comedic flair.
