Welcome to the lawsuit Mr. Emanuel. This is grounds for him to be deposed. He’s basically admitting that Blake and Ryan influenced his decision to drop Baldoni (who he has clearly never met) from WME. Ryan and Blake must be fuming rn 😂
The public hates Blake (me I don’t) vs co stars, book writer & WME Exec is against him… says a lot
I mean people don’t know Justin yet they support him… none of us know what happened but it really seems like everyone besides the public is against him…
Ari is scum too.
Sue this dude for wrongful termination!!!!!
Ari Emannuel is savvy to do this because it lets other A-listers know he is on their side no matter what. So he is more likely to retain them or get new high level clients.
Even with all the evidence, God is too cool , because bad people would have no peace if it were me
Interesting, if WME fired Baldoni because of allegations made by Blake Lively, then why does he continue with people like Drake, Ben Afflec, J Balvin, just to name a few? He doesn't seem to mind keeping those people on board. It seems Ari Emanuel is playing favorites and more than willing to fire people on what appear to be baseless accusations.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 shut up bully
Narcs always look good to public
Of course he's on their side. They are giving him money. The ones willing to pay up, gets his support. I hope his reputation is gone when this is all over. Less Slimeballs in the world would be a welcome change.
The proof in Blake own words . She like to be in charge . She want to be involved in the creative process even if she was hired as an actress
He sounded like a real jerk
No producer nor actor would ever feel safe working with Blake,ever, after all of this and in her own words and actions. She has destroyed herself.
Blake destroyed her own reputation with her interviews! Blake and Ryan are bad people!!!! Just bullies!
Oh. He is trash and a liar. Just like Fake Lively and Crying Reynolds.
I’d be VERY CAREFUL if I were you Eerie, all it takes is ONE LITTLE ALLEGATION and your life will be DESTROYED TOO‼️ Are there any skeletons in YOUR CLOSET⁉️ I’m thinking EYES WIDE SHUT, why else would someone drop a client with no proof of wrongdoing⁉️
More PROOF that HOLLYWOOD is a CESSPOOL that values MONEY & POWER above ALL ELSE‼️
Ari is an agent. He works for celebrities and gets a cut of their pay. Baldoni didn't work for him, Ari provided a service and got paid for that service. He can't fire someone that doesn't work for him so F Off, Ari.
This Ari guy will be exposed too! What a pig!
WAS HE TRYING TO MAKE EVERYONE HATE BLAKE & RYAN EVEN MORE⁉️ BECAUSE THAT’S CERTAINLY THE RESULT of his POORLY EXECUTED PR STUNT‼️
я-Надежда мусульман???явная беда с головой-The Indigenous Leadership
When money means more than integrity 😢
He is going down. Let him gloat 😂😂😂😂

Seems a lot of “pay for play” social media channels are certainly coming out to support Baldoni and fellow religious cult member and billionaire backer Steve Sarowitz. Baldoni and his billionaire backer are also part of a religious cult.
Baldoni was the owner of the rights to the film, made 275 million dollars off the film. Was the director, producer, employer, main actor. What control did employee Blake Lively Have? Please explain your logic or is it that you are too naive, incapable of doing research, or a paid account that is part of the smart campaign?

Shut up Ari Emmanuel. Get the f out of here with elitist mentality.
Anyone can see through this it’s so obvious
Not hard to say good things about bad people when they’re making you millions every year

Narcissists and bullies call people childish names and think anyone cares about their opinion. Until today I'd never heard of Ari whatever his last name is, because I've already forgotten it.
