Jack Schlossberg Trolls Justin Baldoni as His Fake Lawyer — Again

Jack Schlossberg has continued to troll Justin Baldoni on social media amid the actor’s legal battle with It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively.

“Justice for Justin !!! All our communications are privileged by the attorney-client relationship, a protection which only the client may wave,” Schlossberg, 31, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, January 5. “I AM BOUND AND GAGGED by Mr Baldoni until he releases me.”

Alongside his caption was a screenshot of a news article covering the response from Baldoni’s real lawyer with regards to Schlossberg’s online trolling.

Earlier this week, the writer and grandson of former President John F. Kennedy claimed he had taken Baldoni, 40, on as a client.

“I agreed to take on JUSTIN BALDONI as a client. Why? FAIRNESS,” he wrote via X on Thursday, January 2. “EVERYONE is entitled to a FAIR TRIAL and ZEALOUS DEFENSE. Justin has NOTHING to hide, Justice will be his revenge. After BOSTON MASSACRE, John Adams represented the British at trial. Same s—, different day.”

Schlossberg, who graduated from Harvard Law School and passed the bar exam in 2023, added, “My personal feelings about Justin Baldoni are irrelevant. Justin is my client, I’m his lawyer. even the most heinous individuals have the right to counsel for their defense. I am not a hero. I’m just doing my job.”

While Schlossberg was — and continues to be — joking, both fans and certain members of the media believed his initial claims, with some outlets even publishing stories claiming the Vogue political correspondent was Baldoni’s actual lawyer.

Baldoni’s real lawyer, Bryan Freedman, told the Daily Mail Schlossberg’s stunt was “ridiculous,” clarifying, “Nobody on my team has spoken to him.”

Currently, Baldoni is suing The New York Times for $250 million, accusing the publication of libel and false light invasion of privacy for its coverage of Lively, 37, and her allegations of sexual harassment against the director.

Freedman shared in an interview with NBC News on Thursday that he also has plans to sue Lively on Baldoni’s behalf. “We plan to release every single text message between the two of them,” Freedman said at the time. “We want the truth to be out there. We want the documents to be out there. We want people to make their determination based on receipts.”

Baldoni filed his lawsuit against the Times on December 31, 2024. That same day, Lively filed a lawsuit of her own against Baldoni, his publicists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel, and Baldoni’s Wayfarer production company, for sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and lost wages.

“I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted,” Lively said in a statement to Us Weekly on December 21, after she filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department regarding similar allegations.
