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.

The power couple allege that the no-holds-barred lawyer is violating judicial rules by using the media to exonerate his client, whom Lively is suing in federal court. Baldoni has filed a separate suit against both the actress and Reynolds.
