Another one that bites the dust is Justin Baldoni‘s recent experience since the legal battle with Blake Lively began. The director continues to count his losses as the host of his last podcast deletes the episode in solidarity. Blake accused Baldoni of improper conduct on set, claiming it tarnished her reputation. Baldoni appeared on Elizabeth Day’s “How To Fail” podcast earlier in the month. However, the podcaster revealed in an Instagram statement that deleted the episode featuring Baldoni.
Elizabeth explained that she made the decision in light of ongoing investigations into the director. The podcaster expressed her belief that everybody has a right to a safe work environment. She emphasized that every woman must enjoy the benefit of dignity in the workplace. Her statement concluded by advising her listeners on the right way to treat people in the workplace. In her words:
“Every form of abuse should be called out, and I salute the individuals who have the courage to do so.”
Baldoni’s podcast interview with Elizabeth was filled with in-depth and personal information. The filmmaker spoke about his ADHD diagnosis at age 40. He also recalled nearly suffering a mental breakdown on the set of It Ends With Us.
Justin Baldoni Loses Women Advocacy Award as He Fights off Allegations
Day is not the only brand owner to cut professional ties with the film producer. We reported that the Vital Voices Global Partnership also rescinded its December 9 award to Baldoni. The organization bestowed him their Voices of Solidarity Award for advocating for women and girls. They then dropped the award over Baldoni’s alleged distasteful actions towards Blake.
The body announced it on their website on Monday, seemingly picking Blake’s sides. Vital Voices explained that Baldoni’s actions did not align with their principles or the award’s purpose. The organization also revealed that they had informed the director of their decision to withdraw the honor.
From their stance, it could be deduced that the body identifies with the mom of three. Blake has earned an army of supporters since the whole drama began. Her colleagues, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, and Amber Heard, have shown her support.
Blake Lively’s Family Throws Weight Behind Her Amid the Ongoing Lawsuit
The actress’ loved ones did not lag behind in rising to her defense as she made the scathing allegations. Her sister, Robyn Lively, and her sister’s husband, Bart Johnson, were at the forefront of the defense. Robyn addressed the drama on Instagram, highlighting a New York Times article. She asked the fans to read it, claiming it contained proof of her sister’s innocence.
The article condemned those behind the ruthless and nefarious smear campaign to destroy Blake. Robyn implored fans not to take media misconceptions for it, claiming they did not showcase a celebrity’s true self. She referenced the interview clips that painted Blake as “rude” and out of touch in her statement. The “Teen Witch” actress argued that her sister was nothing like how the media portrayed her.
Robyn described her as “one of the kindest, most honest, and loving humans I know.” She insisted that Blake was not a villain, noting that she was a great mom and a loving and supportive wife. Robyn paid homage to her sister for working “her ass off on a film in abominable working conditions.”
Robyn’s husband echoed similar sentiments in a comment underneath The New York Times Instagram post on December 21. He declared that Baldoni’s PR scheme fooled the public and that Blake’s allegations against him were true. Johnson also argued that the It Ends With Us cast unfollowed the director for a reason.
Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively’s case keeps unfolding as the days go by!
