Johnny Depp's lawyer is blown away by Justin Baldoni's defense in Blake Lively battle


An attorney who represented Johnny Depp in his battle against Amber Heard has revealed he is 'blown away' by the 'aggressive' approach Justin Baldoni has taken against Blake Lively.

'If it turns out that this ends up being litigated in the press in a way that would prejudice the opportunity of a fair trial… one of the tools the court has is to accelerate the date of the trial,' Judge Lewis Liman warned on Monday. Chew said Baldoni's team, led by bulldog showbiz lawyer Bryan Freedman - whose previous clients include Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson - appear to be walking a fine line, but have no doubt 'vetted it carefully' before launching the website. In response, Baldoni hit back by suing the New York Times for defamation before launching a $400 million lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds in which he accused the Hollywood pairing of conspiring to trash his reputation.
