Justin Baldoni's controversial remarks revealed after Blake Lively lawsuit

Justin Baldoni reportedly shares rare views about men and the idea of “toxic masculinity.”

In a resurfaced October interview with Us Weekly, the 40-year-old made bold remarks about men’s behaviour.

He began that while men are “the driving force of all crime,” their behavior is “a cry for help.”

“This is not because men are bad men. I believe that there is a cry for help. There’s a cry for community right now,” he explained and added, “We want to be good men. We want to be better men.”

“What I’ve learned is that men are awesome. What I’ve learned is that every man I meet wants to be a good man and a better man. That men are not trash, that men are not to be labeled this thing, but we as men have to do a better job supporting other men and creating safe spaces for them,” the director continued.

Revealing why he never uses the term “toxic masculinity” on his podcast Man Enough, Justin shared, “The reason why is because it’s one of those phrases that’s been politicized, and you lose a bunch of people. In my experience, a word isn’t worth it.”

“If 50 percent of the people will not hear my message because of a phrase, then I won’t [use it],” he remarked in conclusion.
