Justin Baldoni’s former agency, WME, has insisted that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively didn’t pressure bosses into dropping the It Ends With Us director and co-star and director—despite his claims in an explosive new lawsuit.

Amidst the back-and-forth lawsuits between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, talent agency WME is jumping in to refute one claim in particular: That they dropped Baldoni from their client roster at the behest of Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.

In a lawsuit filed by Justin Baldoni against 'The New York Times' on Tuesday, Dec. 31, he claimed that Ryan Reynolds pressured his former agent at the 'Deadpool & Wolverine' premiere. However, WME denied they dropped Baldoni at the request of Lively and Reynolds in a statement.
