Actor Justin Baldoni dropped by agency after actress Blake Lively filed s3xual assault lawsuit

Justin Baldoni’s agency, William Morris Endeavor (WME), has cut ties with the actor just hours after his former co-star, Blake Lively, filed a lawsuit against him alleging inappropriate conduct and reputation sabotage. Sources close to the situation confirmed the news to TMZ, though no official reason for the agency’s decision was provided.

Lively’s lawsuit accuses Baldoni of creating a toxic environment during the production of It Ends With Us, including incidents that allegedly required the studio to halt production for an all-hands-on-deck meeting. Among the claims, Lively alleges Baldoni showed her a naked photo, discussed a past “pornography addiction,” shared details of his sexual exploits, and made comments about her weight.

The lawsuit also accuses Baldoni and two crisis PR strategists, Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel, of orchestrating efforts to damage Lively’s reputation, supported by alleged messages obtained through a civil subpoena. According to Lively, these actions further strained production and worsened professional tensions.

Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, has called the allegations “false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious,” claiming the lawsuit is a calculated attempt by Lively to rehabilitate her public image.

The situation also raises questions about WME’s position, as the agency reportedly represents both Baldoni and Lively. Requests for comment from Baldoni regarding his dismissal from WME remain unanswered.
