Liz Plank leaving Justin Baldoni’s podcast has not been the only shocker for him in the last few days, as the actor was also dropped by talent agency, WME, on Saturday, a day after Blake Lively filed the lawsuit on Friday, December 2024 in the California Civil Court. On the other hand, Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds continue to be represented by WME.
Blake Lively filed a 10-pointer lawsuit on Baldoni accusing him and his production company of s*xual harassment. The Deadline reported that in her lawsuit, Lively also claimed that “the hostile work environment that had nearly derailed production of the film.” She alleged that Justin often talked to her and her employees about his “experiences with s*x,” followed by a “description of his own genitalia.”
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni starred in It Ends With Us, which was released in August 2024. Apart from the duo, the movie, directed by Justin, also stars Jenny Slate, Hasan Minhaj, and Brandon Sklenar. Baldoni’s wife, Emily was also a part of the movie, as she played Dr. Julie.
On the other hand, The Hollywood Reporter stated in their report that Justin has refuted all the allegations, and called Lively’s claims “shameful, serious and categorically false.”
