Justin Baldoni has been dropped as a client by WME.
The talent agency made the decision on Saturday due, at least in part, to the complaint his “It Ends With Us” co-star, Blake Lively, filed on Friday, according to Deadline.
The complaint, which is a precursor to a lawsuit, comes months after rumors of an on-set feud plagued the film’s August release. In it, Lively accuses Baldoni of sexual harassment and causing her “severe emotional distress,” among other claims.
Lively, for her part, is still represented by WME.
WME and Baldoni’s team did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
In the 37-year-old actress’ complaint, which was obtained by Page Six, she outlines allegations against Baldoni — who starred in, produced and directed the film.
The complaint alleges “Jane the Virgin” alum “improvised” kissing scenes and other physically intimate moments in the movie, added “gratuitous sexual content” and often made inappropriate comments that were sexual in nature.
The complaint also claims Baldoni would enter Lively’s trailer “uninvited” while she was undressed, talk about his past pornography addiction and discuss his sexual conquests in front of Lively and others.
In a statement to Page Six, Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman addressed Lively’s “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” allegations, claiming that the actress had filed the complaint to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” regarding the production of the film.
