Justin Baldoni is facing even more challenges in the midst of his legal battle with Blake Lively. A recent interview with him on the ‘How To Fail’ podcast hosted by Elizabeth Day has been removed.
Elizabeth Day shared a statement on Instagram, explaining that she took down the December 4 episode featuring Baldoni due to the “distressing allegations” made against him in Lively’s lawsuit. She emphasized the importance of fully investigating these allegations before reinstating the episode.
Speaking on the matter in general, Day expressed her belief that every individual has the right to a safe workplace, and every woman should be treated with dignity in that environment. She called for all forms of abuse to be called out, and commended those who have the courage to speak up.
In the now-deleted podcast episode, Baldoni opened up about his ADHD diagnosis at age 40 and shared personal experiences, including a “near breakdown” on the set of “It Ends With Us,” a project he directed and starred in alongside Blake Lively.
The situation behind the scenes of the film seems to have been tumultuous, as Lively has filed a lawsuit against Baldoni alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign. She claims that there was a coordinated effort to tarnish her reputation. Baldoni has vehemently denied all of these claims.
It remains to be seen how this legal battle will unfold, but it is clear that both parties are standing their ground. The removal of Baldoni’s podcast episode is just one small piece of the larger puzzle in this ongoing controversy.
