Liz Plank was more than Justin Baldoni’s “Man Enough” podcast cohost — she has a successful hosting career under her belt.
Plank publicly announced her decision to step down from “Man Enough” in December 2024, days after Blake Lively accused of Baldoni of sexual harassment in a lawsuit filed that same month.
“I’m writing to you today to let you know that I have had my representatives inform Wayfarer that I will no longer be co-hosting the ‘Man Enough’ podcast,” Plank’s Instagram statement read. “Thank you for trusting me with your hearts and stories, for holding space for mine, and for making this show what it was.”
Plank noted that she will “miss” the listeners and the community they created. She did not name Baldoni in the statement but discussed but shared what was next after “this chapter closes” in her career.

“Thank you for being here, for trusting me, and for being by my side for the last four years. We all deserve better, and I know that together, we can create it,” Plank added. “I will have more to share soon as I continue to process everything that has happened. In the meantime, I will continue to support everyone who calls out injustice and holds the people standing in their way accountable.”
Baldoni did not publicly react to news of Plank’s departure, but he denied the allegations made in Lively’s lawsuit via his lawyer. Attorney Bryan Freedman called Lively’s claims “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” in a statement to Us, noting that she filed the suit to “fix her negative reputation.”
