Justin Baldoni Loses Award Amid Blake Lively Lawsuit Allegations


Justin Baldoni, director and star of It Ends With Us, is facing backlash after Blake Lively filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual harassment and defamation.

On December 9, Baldoni received the Voices of Solidarity Award from Vital Voices, honoring men who advocate for women and girls. However, following Lively's allegations, the organization rescinded the award, issuing a statement condemning any attacks on Lively’s reputation and emphasizing their continued support for her work.

Lively's lawsuit claims Baldoni harassed her during filming and attempted to tarnish her reputation using a crisis PR firm. Baldoni and his lawyer denied the allegations, calling Lively’s promotional actions “distasteful.”

Several of Lively's colleagues, including America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, and Amber Heard, have publicly supported her. Baldoni has yet to comment further.
