Justin Baldoni: Podcast co-host announces departure
After actress Blake Lively accused actor and director Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and a smear campaign in a civil rights complaint, his “Man Enough” podcast co-host Liz Plank has announced her departure from the show. Plank shared the news on her Instagram page, stating that she will no longer be co-hosting the podcast.
She expressed her gratitude to the listeners for trusting her with their stories and hearts, making the show what it was. Plank also mentioned that she will have more to share soon as she continues to process everything that has transpired. Despite stepping away from the podcast, she affirmed her commitment to supporting those who speak out against injustice.
“Man Enough,” co-hosted by Baldoni, Plank, and Wayfarer Studios CEO Jamey Heath, delves into the complexities of modern masculinity and the impact of gender stereotypes on individuals. The trio has been hosting the podcast together since 2021.
In the complaint filed by Blake Lively with the California Civil Rights Department, she accuses Baldoni of sexual harassment and orchestrating a plan to tarnish her reputation. Baldoni, who directed the film “It Ends With Us” in which Lively co-starred, has vehemently denied these allegations through his attorney Bryan Freedman.
Following Lively’s claims, Baldoni’s talent agency William Morris Endeavor reportedly cut ties with him. Representatives for Baldoni and WME have not provided any comments on the matter.
