Sources close to the “Jane the Virgin” alum argue that attorney Bryan Freedman has merely been defending his client from Lively’s alleged “takedown campaign.”

Hollywood attorney Bryan Freedman previously represented Travis Flores, who accused Baldoni of stealing ideas from an unproduced screenplay and using them in his directorial debut.

In December, Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni for sexual harassment and retaliation, and within days sued him, alleging that she suffered emotional distress from her costar and director, who she says sought to malign her character via an online campaign allegedly coordinated with his publicity team.
