Author and journalist Liz Plank has announced her decision to part ways with her podcast co-host Justin Baldoni following serious allegations made against him by his It Ends with Us co-star, Blake Lively.

In a message to her audience, Plank stated, “I’m writing to you today to let you know that I have had my representatives inform Wayfarer that I will no longer be co-hosting The Man Enough podcast. Thank you for trusting me with your hearts and stories, for holding space for mine, and for making this show what it was. I will miss you, the listeners, so much. I love what this community created together with every fiber of my being, and that’s because of you.”

Justin Baldoni’s Voices Of Solidarity Award Rescinded In Wake Of Blake Lively’s Sexual Harassment & Smear Campaign Allegations

Launched in 2021, The Man Enough podcast “explores what it means to be a man today and how rigid gender roles have affected all people.” Plank co-hosted the show alongside Baldoni and Jamey Heath, CEO of Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios.

Baldoni, Heath, and Wayfarer were named in Blake’s December 20 complaint with the California Civil Rights Department, which alleges a toxic work environment of sexual harassment on the set of It Ends With Us and accuses Baldoni and his PR team of orchestrating a smear campaign following the film’s release.

“As this chapter closes for me, I remain committed to the values we’ve built together,” Plank added. “Thank you for being here, for trusting me, and for being by my side for the last four years. We all deserve better, and I know that together, we can create it. I will have more to share soon as I continue to process everything that has happened. In the meantime, I will continue to support everyone who calls out injustice and holds the people standing in their way accountable.”

Additionally, Baldoni’s Voices Of Solidarity Award from a non-profit organization supporting women has been rescinded. Meanwhile, Lively has received strong backing from It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover, as well as numerous Hollywood A-listers, including Amber Heard, Amy Schumer, Paul Feig, Gwyneth Paltrow, her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants co-stars, and many others.
