JUSTIN BALDONI LOSES PRESTIGIOUS AWARD AMIDST ONGOING LEGAL BATTLE WITH BLAKE LIVELY

Justin Baldoni has been dealt another blow following his very public legal battle with Blake Lively. After being dropped by his talent agency WME, the actor and director has now had a prestigious award rescinded.

Baldoni was recently honored with the Voices of Solidarity Award by Vital Voices, a non-profit organization that recognizes men who advocate for women and girls. However, in light of the serious allegations against Baldoni, Vital Voices has decided to revoke the award.

This decision comes as another setback for Baldoni, who is facing accusations of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against Lively. The lawsuit filed by Lively includes explosive text messages that appear to show Baldoni and his team discussing strategies to discredit the actress.

Baldoni has denied the allegations, claiming the texts were taken out of "critcal context", as stated by his lawyer Bryan Freedman to The Hollywood Reporter. However, the mounting consequences, including losing his agency representation and this award, suggest that the controversy is far from over.
