Abigail Breslin pens emotional essay after Blake Lively complaint: 'This must change'

Abigail Breslin is speaking out on misconduct in the workplace following Blake Lively's bombshell legal complaint against "It Ends with Us" co-star Justin Baldoni.

In an emotional essay posted on her Tumblr page Saturday, Breslin said she "felt compelled to write" the post "in light of recent events regarding the attempt to destroy the career and livelihood of a fellow actress and woman." While Breslin does not name Lively or Baldoni, the essay's publication comes a week after Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni accusing him of sexual harassment during filming and orchestrating a "smear campaign" against her.

"When did the word woman become synonymous with scapegoat? As I see the news each day, I realize this is the world we seem to live in," Breslin wrote. "I have unfortunately been subject to the same toxic masculinity throughout my life."
