Justin Baldoni has been cut loose by his agency, William Morris Endeavor (WME), just hours after Blake Lively filed a bombshell lawsuit against him. Sources confirmed the split, though WME has not released an official statement explaining their decision.

The lawsuit, filed by Baldoni’s former It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively, alleges severe misconduct, including sexual harassment and efforts to tarnish her reputation. According to Lively, the toxic environment on set led to an emergency all-hands meeting to address Baldoni’s alleged behavior.

Among the accusations, Lively claims Baldoni showed her a naked photo, discussed his past struggles with pornography, commented on her weight, and shared explicit details about his sexual history.

Lively also accuses Baldoni of working with crisis PR specialists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel to launch a campaign to damage her public image. The claims are supported by alleged communications obtained via subpoena.

Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, has called the lawsuit’s allegations “false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious,” accusing Lively of filing the suit as a ploy to restore her own reputation.

This controversy comes as a significant blow to Baldoni’s career, as the allegations and the subsequent fallout cast a shadow over the upcoming release of It Ends With Us.

Let’s get to know each other. Me? Well, I have a master’s degree in Journalism from Marshall University, but I don’t really like to talk about that. I was a stand-up comedian for eight years, but I don’t really like to talk about that either. I write a lot. I once worked for a company that writes blurbs for online gambling games. Those paid $.75 each. So, if you frequent that kind of thing, then you’re welcome for the description for Biker Chicken Slots or Crazy Granny’s Scratchers. I wish I had more to tell, but due to my crippling anxiety and Tourette’s Syndrome, that has become increasingly worse over the years, I tend to keep to myself.
