Justin Baldoni Gets Roasted by a Top Tinseltown Agent During His Legal Showdown with Blake Lively; Dubbed ‘Baloney’

Oh, the drama of Tinseltown! Just when you thought the dust was settling, Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have stirred the pot yet again. The industry’s buzzing like a hive full of bees, each one choosing their favored flower of scandal. And this time, the sting is aimed squarely at Baldoni, courtesy of none other than Hollywood’s infamous agent, Ari Emanuel.

Picture this: Ari, the big kahuna at WME, spills the tea on Freakonomics Radio Live with Stephen Dubner. At 63, you’d think he’d have mellowed, right? Nope, not a chance! He makes it crystal clear that there’s no love lost between him and the "It Ends With Us" actor. And just for kicks, he tosses in a jab at Justin Baldoni’s last name. Yes, folks, we’re talking about a grown man calling someone "Bologna." 🙄

Ari quipped, "It’s a f—-d up, bad situation with what Bologna… Baldoni—whatever his name is doing." Ouch! Justin’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, with a wink and a nudge, snarkily retorted, "Mr. Ari Emanuel is notably one of the best agents, and clearly the most loyal, in Hollywood." Oh, the irony! Justin himself chimed in, reminiscing about the last time someone called him "Bologna"—back in the fifth grade! Oh, Ari, did you even know your client during those five years he was with your agency?

And here’s the kicker: Ari reportedly gave Justin the boot from WME when Blake decided to sue him. Loyal to the core, Ari’s been Blake and Ryan Reynolds’ cheerleader ever since, singing their praises from the rooftops.

But wait, there’s more! Blake Lively’s not skating through this unscathed. An assistant director from her 2018 flick, A Simple Favor, recently accused Blake of being the reason she hung up her AD hat. Barbara Szeman aired her grievances under Henry Golding’s Instagram post, only to delete it later. But by then, the digital wildfire had spread far and wide.

Nisha’s Nutshell: In the world of glitz and glam, remember, it’s not always about how you shine but how well you dodge the mudslinging. 📸 The moral? In Bollywood and beyond, never underestimate the power of a fifth-grade nickname to make a comeback! 🤷‍♀️
