Looks like Justin Baldoni’s guest appearance on How To Fail with Elizabeth Day just got ghosted faster than a bad Tinder date. Elizabeth Day, the 46-year-old journalist-slash-novelist-slash-“I do it all” queen, decided to yeet the December 4 episode into oblivion after Blake Lively threw down a legal gauntlet accusing her It Ends With Us co-star of sexual harassment and—brace yourselves—running a smear campaign straight out of a villain’s handbook.
Elizabeth took to her platform on Tuesday (December 24) with a statement so serious it made the Grinch’s heart grow three sizes. “I’ve decided to pull Justin Baldoni’s interview until these super-distressing allegations in Blake’s lawsuit are fully investigated. No one deserves a toxic workplace, and every woman deserves her dignity. Also, if you’re brave enough to spill the tea, I salute you,” she essentially said (probably while sipping her own).
So, What Did Baldoni Talk About in the Episode?
Well, before things got messy, Justin dropped some deep stuff about being diagnosed with ADHD at 40 and surviving what he called a “near breakdown” on the It Ends With Us set. Apparently, directing was less “Lights, Camera, Action!” and more “Help, I’m lonely at the top!”
In his own words, Justin lamented: “Directing is like being stranded on a deserted island where everyone’s too busy asking you a thousand questions to offer you a volleyball friend like Wilson. Can’t vent, can’t cry—because, you know, you’re the boss and bosses don’t do feelings.”
The Takeaway?
It’s clear this whole drama is still unfolding faster than a reality TV reunion episode. For now, Baldoni’s podcast cameo is on indefinite timeout, Elizabeth Day is standing by her principles, and Blake Lively is proving she’s not afraid to shake the Hollywood tree until the truth falls out.
Stay tuned, this saga might just out-drama the next It Ends With Us trailer. 👀
