Justin Baldonisays the lawyer Blake LivelyThe publicist is “dead in the water” because he has evidence of their alleged smear campaign against him…but TMZ knows A LOT about how publicists work in Hollywood and we've made it clear…the smear goes both ways.
The It Ends With Us Director's Lawyer Bryan Freedmanappeared on “TMZ Live” on Wednesday and told us he's preparing a lawsuit against Blake's PR staff. Leslie Sloane.
Freedman says he has receipts showing that Sloane planted negative stories about Baldoni in the press during Justin's fight with his “It Ends With Us” co-star.
We challenged Freedman and explained that celebrity publicists are always trying to twist, steer and change the narrative in favor of their clients… and we would know because we've been doing it for 19 years and have a deep understanding of how the game plays is played in Hollywood.
Freedman even admits as much… and tells Harvey that he might serve as an expert witness if the lawsuit ever goes to trial.
Check out the video… We also asked Justin's attorney why the alleged behavior here is so egregious as to warrant a lawsuit.
