According to the reports of Leaders team, Vital Voices, which empowers women and celebrates men advocating for gender equality, announced Monday that it had rescinded the award following a legal complaint filed by Lively alleging “abhorrent conduct” by Baldoni, his studio, and his crisis management team. The organization stated that the accusations were “contrary to the values” it upholds.

The Allegations

Lively’s legal complaint, filed with the California Civil Rights Department, accuses Baldoni and a producer on the film of repeated sexual harassment and “disturbing behavior.” It also outlines a meeting where Lively presented 30 demands aimed at addressing their alleged misconduct to continue production. These included refraining from mentioning Baldoni’s “pornography addiction,” avoiding descriptions of genitalia, and ensuring no intimate scenes were added beyond those she approved in the script.
