Sharing a screenshot of her statement, the journalist explained: 'Every individual has a right to a safe workplace. Every woman has the right to dignity in that workplace. 'Every form of abuse should be called out and I salute the individuals who have the courage to do so.'.

Her statement began: 'I have made the decision to remove the recent How To Fail interview with Justin Baldoni from all platforms while the distressing allegations made against him in Blake Lively's recent lawsuit are fully investigated.'. In the episode, Baldoni - who directed and starred as a domestic abuser in It Ends With Us - waxed lyrical about how he didn't want his film to lead to women being judged - as his co-star Lively Lively now accuses him of orchestrating a 'smear campaign' against her around the time the Colleen Hoover adaptation was released.

'We have enough women judging women, we have enough men judging women,' the actor, 40, said during the interview with the award-winning podcaster. It Ends With Us tells the story of Lily Bloom, played by Lively, and confronting the trauma of domestic abuse inflicted by her husband, Ryle Kincaid, played by Baldoni.
