Justin Baldoni‘s lawyer is taking shots at his client’s legal nemesis Blake Lively … blasting Blake for what he says is a premature celebration.
Bryan Freedman joined us on “TMZ Live” Tuesday and we asked him how he and Justin reacted to Blake’s big legal win Monday, when a judge tossed out Baldoni’s defamation claims in a $400 million lawsuit against Blake and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
While it seemed like the end of the legal beef, Bryan tells us this still has a long way to go … which is why he thinks it’s rich Blake is on what he calls a “false victory tour.”
Bryan says Blake is afraid of the truth and he wants her to keep moving forward with her lawsuit against Baldoni … because Bryan says the legal process will help him clear Justin of Blake’s claims of sexual harassment.
Freedman says the judge left open the door for Baldoni’s lawyers to amend 4 of their 7 original claims against Blake … and he says they will definitely amend their lawsuit.
Bryan also tells us Blake is scheduled for a deposition later this month, and while it sounds like he isn’t convinced she will actually show face … he tells us what he’s going to grill her on.
