Justin Baldoni Sexual Harassment Case: ‘It Ends With Us’ Director Stripped of Women’s Advocacy Award Following Blake Lively’s Allegations
Justin Baldoni has been stripped of his prestigious ‘Women’s Advocacy Award’ following allegations of sexual harassment by his 'It Ends With Us' co-star Blake Lively.
Justin Baldoni’s troubles are far from over. Days after facing sexual harassment allegations from his It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively, the actor has lost the prestigious 'Voices of Solidarity' award. This honour, presented on December 9, recognises men who advocate for the rights of women and girls. Vital Voices, the organisation behind the award, released a statement explaining their decision to revoke it. “The communications among Mr Baldoni and his publicists included in the lawsuit — and the PR effort they indicate — are, alone, contrary to the values of Vital Voices and the spirit of the Award. We have notified Mr Baldoni that we have rescinded this award,” the statement read.
