Amber Heard has weighed in on Blake Lively's sexual harassment lawsuit

Amber Heard has weighed in on Blake Lively's sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

The American actress has spoken out about the lawsuit which has seen Lively accuse her fellow It Ends With Us co-star and movie director, Baldoni, of sexual harassment.

The lawsuit points to blame Baldoni for creating a toxic work environment over the set, which caused Lively to suffer 'severe emotional distress'.

Lively's attorneys said the star had made certain requests during film, which included 'no more adding of sex scenes, oral sex or on-camera climaxing by BL outside the scope of the script BL approved when signing onto the project'.

Other requests also allegedly stated no discussions of a sexual nature were allowed to happen in front of Lively, no mentions of cast and crew's genitalia, no more discussion about Lively's weight, no mention of Baldoni's alleged previous 'pornography addiction', no nude videos or images of women being shown to Lively and no further mention of Lively's dead father.

Speaking to NBC News today (Monday, December 23), Amber Heard said she 'saw this firsthand'.

Her comments come as Baldoni reportedly kept prominent PR crisis manger, Melissa Nathan, who Johnny Depp had hired during his defamation trial against his ex-wife, Heard.

In an exclusive interview with NBC news, Heard said: “Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying ‘A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on.’

"I saw this firsthand and up close. It’s as horrifying as it is destructive.”
