Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Inception Point Ai Actor Justin Baldoni was dropped by his talent agency WME after his "It Ends With Us" costar Blake Lively filed a sexual harassment and retaliation complaint against him. Lively claims that Baldoni's behavior on set, which included showing her nude images of women and discussing his past “porn addiction,” made her feel uncomfortable. Lively's complaint also alleges that Baldoni, drawing inspiration from negative social media posts about Hailey Bieber, orchestrated a smear campaign against her to "destroy" her reputation. He allegedly shared a screenshot of a post about Bieber to his PR team and said “This is what we would need.” Baldoni's lawyer Bryan Freedman has denied the allegations, calling them “completely false” and “intentionally salacious” and stating that Lively's complaint is an attempt to improve her public image.This show includes AI-generated content.
