Former employees of Justin Baldoni's Wayfarer production company have shared mixed experiences working with the actor, with some claiming his constant positivity felt performative and toxic. Despite this, some staffers praised Baldoni for his creativity and heart for helping others. Discomfort was also expressed by some employees regarding the presence of Baldoni's Bahai faith in the office culture, with one former worker alleging an evangelizing aspect that felt professionally inappropriate. Wayfarer Studios confirmed that the founders are Bahai, but Bahai-related activities are not mandated by the company. Baldoni's personal and professional life has faced scrutiny following legal complaints from Blake Lively, accusing him of sexual harassment, which he denies, and he has filed a lawsuit against Lively, her publicist, and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
