WME Says Ryan Reynolds Never Pressured Agency to Drop Justin Baldoni Amid Blake Lively Controversy
WME denied that client Ryan Reynolds pressured Justin Baldoni’s agent to drop him following lawsuits filed by Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively against her “It Ends With Us” costar for sexual harassment.
“In Baldoni’s filing there is a claim that Reynolds pressured Baldoni’s agent at the ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ premiere. This is not true,” the agency said in a statement on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Baldoni sue the New York Times for $250 million for their Dec. 21 article about Lively’s claims, titled: “‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine.” Baldoni was dropped by his WME agent the day the article was published.
