Justin Baldoni was awarded the Voice of Solidarity Award from Vital Voices. The decision to cancel the awards was announced by the organizers, who cited the serious nature of the allegations as the rationale for their action.

In a post shared on Instagram, Vital Voices wrote, ‘The Voice of Solidarity Award honors remarkable men who have shown courage and compassion in advocating on behalf of women and girls.’

The post further read, “On December 9, 2024, we honored Justin Baldoni with this award.
