Justin Baldoni’s Voices of Solidarity Award Rescinded

Just Baldoni’s Voices of Solidarity award has been rescinded, after Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, accusing him of harassment and launching a smear campaign against her.

This comes after the two worked together on the upcoming film It Ends With Us, where Baldoni served as both director and co-star.

Vital Voices Rescinds Baldoni’s Award

The nonprofit Vital Voices has revoked the Voices of Solidarity award it gave Baldoni earlier this month. The award recognizes men who advocate for women and girls, but the organization stated the allegations against Baldoni go against the values the award stands for. They issued a statement confirming the decision, emphasizing their commitment to justice and equality.

Industry Reactions

The news has sparked reactions across Hollywood. SAG-AFTRA released a statement supporting Lively, praising her courage and promising to stand by members facing harassment. Sony Pictures, which is distributing It Ends With Us, also condemned any efforts to attack someone’s reputation, reaffirming its zero-tolerance stance on harassment.

As these allegations come to light, Baldoni has not yet publicly addressed the lawsuit or the rescinded award. For now, the case has drawn attention to ongoing issues of accountability and the treatment of women in Hollywood.

The legal process is just starting, but this situation already raises tough questions about power dynamics and responsibility in the entertainment industry. We’ll keep you updated as more details emerge.
