Justin Baldoni‘s agency William Morris Endeavor has severed ties with the embattled actor … this just hours after Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against him.
Sources with direct knowledge confirmed the news to TMZ after multiple reports surfaced.
While no official reason was provided, it comes after his former costar Lively filed a suit alleging sexual harassment and a coordinated effort to destroy her reputation.
We broke the story … in the suit, Lively claims production of “It Ends With Us” grew so toxic, the movie needed to stop down and have an all-hands-on-deck meeting about some of the alleged inappropriate behavior.

Among the topics of discussion, according to the lawsuit … Baldoni allegedly showing a naked picture to Blake, talking about a past “pornography addiction,” discussing sexual exploits and mentioning Blake’s weight.
These demands — and other — were embraced by the studio, according to the lawsuit … though differences in marketing strategy of the film persisted.
Blake’s also claiming Baldoni and two crisis PR gurus — Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel — engaged in an attempt to hurt her reputation … including a series of alleged messages obtained via a civil subpoena.
Justin’s lawyer — Bryan Freedman — called the lawsuit’s claims “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt” … adding Blake only filed it in an attempt to rehabilitate her image.
We’ve reached out to Baldoni about being dropped from WME — which also reportedly reps Blake — so far, no word back.
