Hollywood Drama: Justin Baldoni SLAMMED as ‘Bologna’ by Agent Amid Legal Battle!

Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have once again found themselves at the center of events, as they recently have. Over the last few months, various figures in the entertainment industry have been vocal about their support for different parties. However, this time around, it was Baldoni who faced criticism from a prominent Hollywood agent. Ari Emanuel, an executive at WME, made some harsh comments directed towards his former client.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Emanuel was a guest on an episode of Freakonomics Radio Live, hosted by Stephen Dubner. During this appearance, the 63-year-old openly expressed his lack of affection towards It Ends With Us Actor, Justin Baldoni. Not only did he make it clear where he stood on the issue, but he also made a pointed comment about Mr. Baldoni’s last name in the process.

In a somewhat playful response to his statement, Justin’s lawyer Bryan Freedman countered by saying, “Ari Emanuel is indeed an exceptional and undeniably loyal agent within Hollywood.” However, he hinted that Ari’s perception might be different if they had ever interacted in the five years they were represented by his agency. Freedman shared this insight with The Hollywood Reporter, noting that Justin was referred to as “Bologna” by Ari as far back as their 5th grade days.

It’s said that the agent was alleged to have dismissed Baldoni from WME after the announcement of Blake Lively’s lawsuit against him. Since that time, he has remained steadfast in his defense of Lively and Ryan Reynolds, providing testimony about their positive characters.

In addition to the 41-year-old, Blake is also facing criticism during this intense legal dispute. Not long ago, accusations resurfaced against her following new claims made by an assistant director from her 2018 film, A Simple Favor. Barbara Szeman, commenting on Henry Golding’s Instagram post, alleged that Blake was the cause for her leaving the position of assistant director.

Although Szeman later removed her remark, it quickly spread like wildfire across several social media outlets.
