Actress Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against her `It Ends With Us` co-star and director Justin Baldoni recently alleging sexual harassment. Following this, the latter has been ousted from his talent management agency, William Morris Endeavor (WME). WME has severed ties with Justin following the explosive lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and retaliation.
According to Deadline, the decision was made due to the extreme accusations in Blake Lively`s complaint. Lively claimed intrusive behaviour to smear campaign in her lawsuit. The agency has yet not issued any official statement confirming the same. On the contrary, Baldoni`s legal team has strongly denied these claims and has called them, "false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious."
