Justin Baldoni's Former "Man Enough" Podcast Co-Host, Liz Plank, Reacted To His Lawsuit Being Dismissed
Justin Baldoni's Man Enough podcast co-host Liz Plank reacted to his lawsuit against Blake Lively being dismissed. The podcast, which "explores what it means to be a man today," began in 2021, with its most recent episode posted in October of last year. The name echoes Justin's book and viral 2017 TED Talk, "Why I'm done trying to be 'man enough.'"

We all deserve better, and I know that together, we can create it. 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." Yesterday, a judge dismissed Justin's countersuit against Blake, which notably included claims of defamation. Shortly beforehand, Liz had asked people on Instagram to "send us your boy problems" for an upcoming episode of her new podcast, Boy Problems. In response to the lawsuit being dismissed, Justin's lawyer said, "Ms. Lively's own claims are no truer today than they were yesterday, and with the facts on our side, we march forward with the same confidence that we had when Ms. Lively and her cohorts initiated this battle."

Dakota Johnson Shocks With Blunt Response To 'Today' Show Question
Dakota Johnson knows exactly what she wants in a relationship. Johnson made an appearance on the 'Today' show on Monday, to promote her new movie, 'Materialists,' where she plays a matchmaker. During the interview with her co-star Chris Evans, the two were asked about a dating non-negotiable they would give a real-life matchmaker. Evans, who is married, said 'They must love dogs ― gotta love dogs.' 'If you're not a dog person, what are we doing?' he asked. Johnson was much more blunt in her take. 'Like, not an asshole?' the actor said as the rest of the studio laughed and 'Today' show host Craig Melvin looked slightly shocked and nodded his head. 'That's concise!' Evans quipped. 'There it is. Nail on the head.' 'Nail on the head,' Melvin said. 'And we're actually going to probably have to clean that up for the West Coast feed. That's OK.' People in the comments of an Instagram post sharing the clip loved Johnson's refreshing take, and praised her for her blunt response. 'Dakota and her spontaneous honesty,' one commenter wrote, as another added, 'I watched this live. Dakota, always be you. Perfect answer!' Someone else in the comments confirmed that Johnson's response was indeed cleaned up for the West Coast feed. 'Bahahahahaha!!! It got bleeped out here,' one person wrote. Johnson may soon be using this non-negotiable to vet potential suitors, as multiple outlets reported that the actor split from longtime partner Chris Martin last week. 'It feels final this time,' a source told People magazine. The two have been on and off since 2017.
