Justin Baldoni’s former agent, Danny Greenberg, seemingly compared Blake Lively’s behavior on the set of It Ends With Us to extortion.

According to court documents obtained by multiple outlets on Monday, October 13, Greenberg, who repped Baldoni at the time of filming the Colleen Hoover adaptation, testified in a deposition that Lively’s behavior and pressure towards Baldoni and the studio felt like “extortion” to him. Greenberg accused Lively of making an “effort to gain control of the film.”

Greenberg later clarified that he did not mean Lively was committing literal criminal extortion.

“My use of the word extortion there was referencing just cumulative behavior that both the studio and [production company Wayfarer Studios] and Justin was having to manage,” he said in the deposition.
