Liz Plank, co-host of Justin Baldoni’s ‘Man Enough’ podcast, announces her exit.
Liz Plank, co-host of the "Man Enough" podcast alongside Justin Baldoni, announced her departure from the show. This follows allegations by actress Blake Lively, who accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign, as outlined in a civil rights complaint last week.
Plank took to Instagram on Monday to share her decision, disclosing that she had informed Baldoni’s production company of her exit. "Gratitude for entrusting me with your stories and hearts, for allowing me space for my own, and for shaping this show," she expressed. "Thank you for your trust and companionship over the past four years. We all deserve better, and together, we can forge a new path."
She hinted at further revelations to come as she processes the unfolding events. "Meanwhile, my support remains with those who challenge injustice and hold obstructive forces accountable," she affirmed.
Since 2021, Baldoni, Plank, and Jamey Heath, CEO of Wayfarer Studios, have been at the helm of "Man Enough," a podcast delving into contemporary masculinity and the impact of entrenched gender roles. Heath is also implicated in Lively's complaint to the California Civil Rights Department.
Lively's allegations, as reported by the New York Times, claim Baldoni, her co-star in "It Ends With Us"—which he also directed—engaged in sexual misconduct and plotted to tarnish her image.
Attorney Bryan Freedman, representing Baldoni, Heath, and Wayfarer Studios, refuted the accusations, describing them as "utterly baseless, scandalous, and designed to inflict public damage and resurrect a media narrative."
In response to Lively’s allegations, Baldoni's representation with talent agency William Morris Endeavor was terminated, according to a source familiar with the situation. Neither Baldoni's camp nor WME offered comments to CNN.
