Blake Lively is speaking out about what she’s going through.
The “Another Simple Favor” star made an appearance on the May 1 episode of “Late Night With Seth Meyers” and spoke about the highs and lows she’d experienced.
Host Seth Meyers first mentioned to Lively that he was “not totally informed” about the details of what she said was an “intense” year.
“I’m thrilled you’re not doing ‘Weekend Update’ right now, because you’d be totally informed,” Lively joked.
Meyers followed with a prompt to see what Lively was willing to share. “But were I to ask you about it I’d imagine you’re in a situation where you can’t say much,” he said.
Lively characterized using her “voice” as a fight to “make the world safer for women in girls.”
“What I can say without going too into it is that this year has been full of the highest highs and the lowest lows of my life. I see so many women around afraid to speak, afraid to share their experiences. Fear is by design. It’s what keeps us silent,” she said.
“I acknowledge that many people don’t have the opportunity to speak,” Lively continued. “I feel fortunate that I have been able to. It’s the women who have had the ability to use their voice that have kept me strong and have helped me in my fight to make the world safer for women and girls. It’s a pretty simple thing,” she said.
Following her comments, Lively received a round of applause from the audience.
