Justin Baldoni, star and director of It Ends With Us, has had his prestigious Voices of Solidarity Award revoked following allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation against co-star Blake Lively.

The award, presented by Vital Voices, honored men advocating for women’s empowerment but was rescinded after Lively’s legal complaint, described as detailing “abhorrent conduct.”

Lively filed the complaint with the California Civil Rights Department, accusing Baldoni of harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign through his studio, Wayfarer, and a crisis management team. She alleged they launched a “sophisticated and well-financed” effort to discredit her while promoting Baldoni’s image. Her demands for a safe working environment included avoiding references to Baldoni’s past admissions of pornography addiction and eliminating inappropriate scenes and dialogue.

Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, denied the allegations, accusing Lively of making “salacious” claims to harm Baldoni’s reputation. Meanwhile, WME dropped Baldoni as a client.

High-profile figures, including It Ends With Us co-star Brandon Sklenar, shared Lively’s complaint, with Sklenar tagging her on Instagram with a heart emoji. Author Colleen Hoover and SAG-AFTRA also expressed solidarity, calling the allegations “startling and troubling.”

In her statement, Lively said: “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics… and protects others who may be targeted.”
