Evangeline Lily's history with the franchise alone is enough to support the narrative Warner was more hands on.
She said when she signed on there wasn't a love triangle, and in block three there was. But remember that in a Peter Jackson film, the script constantly evolves, regardless of studio input. In fact, the interview in question was with Lily AS WELL AS JACKSON AND BOYENS, with the latter taking responsibility for the supposed "triangle" (which really only amounts to a a couple of looks from Legolas). At no point in the interview did Lily point, explicitly or implicitly, at the studio. It was just a rewrite.
I'm going to need much more substantial evidence before I assume the director is flat-out lying. There's no substantial evidence to back this up: it all borders on conspiracy theories.
It just doesn't play like the sort of movie a studio interfered in it. If the studio ran the show, the films would be much shorter (allowing for more daily showings), less violent, more linear, cheaper, and would exhibit much, much less of Jackson's penchant for gross-out moments.
Another detail to consider is that one of the executives on The Hobbit was Ken Kamins, aka Jackson's AGENT.
