The high-stakes legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively just got messier — and Baldoni’s lawyer isn’t holding back.
On Tuesday’s episode of TMZ Live, Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s attorney, took direct aim at Blake Lively after she celebrated a big legal win in their explosive $400 million defamation lawsuit. A judge recently dismissed four of Baldoni’s claims, seemingly handing Blake a major courtroom victory. But Freedman says Blake’s premature celebration is exactly that — premature.
“False Victory Tour” — Baldoni’s Lawyer Calls It Out
Bryan Freedman labeled Blake’s celebration a “false victory tour,” telling TMZ that while the court tossed out some claims, this case is far from over.
“Blake is scared of the truth,” Freedman said bluntly. “We’re ready to keep pushing forward because this legal fight will ultimately clear Justin of these sexual harassment allegations.”
Freedman insists the judge’s ruling left room to amend four of the seven original claims, and Baldoni’s team will definitely do just that.
Deposition Drama: Will Blake Show Up?
Another twist is on the horizon — Blake Lively is scheduled for a deposition later this month.
Freedman sounds skeptical about whether Blake will actually show, but he’s gearing up for a grilling session if she does.
“We’ll be asking some hard questions, and we’re ready,” Freedman told TMZ Live.
Not Over Yet: Battle of Legal Titans
While the judge’s decision looked like a win for Blake, Freedman paints a different picture — the war is far from over.
“She may have won the battle, but not the war,” he added.
This lawsuit, one of Hollywood’s biggest legal showdowns in recent times, has captivated fans and insiders alike with its mix of celebrity drama and serious allegations.
