Justin Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman speaks out after judge dismissed Blake Lively's claims

Justin Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman showed support for the defendants in the It Ends With Us legal drama against Blake Lively after the harassment allegations were dismissed.

The high-profile attorney addressed the latest court ruling in a statement saying that Baldoni and the other defendants have never been “afraid of the truth.”

Freedman, who has previously been involved in cases like Amber Heard-Johnny Depp’s case, as well as the Michael Jackson Estate case, said, “Since the first day of this case, when Justin and the other defendants were blindsided by these allegations, the legal team on the ground from the beginning have worked extremely long days and nights defending this case through transparency by releasing the actual truthful text messages, and by welcoming and facilitating the release of all documents exhibiting the truth,” to TMZ on Friday, April 3.

The legal expert went on to add that the motive for Baldoni’s team was always “not only to speak the truth but to also show that same truth over and over again through the presentation of actual evidence.”

Freedman declared that it was “gratifying” to see what his team was trying to prove since day one, noting that “Neither Justin Baldoni, Jamey Heath nor any of the other defendants have engaged in the sexual harassment of Blake Lively.”

This comes after the judge dismissed Lively’s accusations of harassment, defamation and conspiracy.

The allegations of breach of contract, retaliation and aiding and abetting in retaliation are still up for trial, which is scheduled to begin on May 18.
