He\u2019s the defender of what\u2019s right. He fought for me when I didn\u2019t even think I was worthwhile. He made me feel fearless when I was at my most vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host-turned-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tucker-carlson-bringing-live-show-road-announces-wide-range-controversial-guests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">traveling independent journalist<\/a>, compared Freedman\u2019s pugnacious demeanor to that of a caged, wild beast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time I read about Bryan, it\u2019s like, \u2018When are they letting him out of the cage?\u2019\u201d Carlson said of Freedman, per the Reporter. \u201cHe\u2019s chewing on his own paw.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson was quick to add, however, that Freedman\u2019s true value wasn\u2019t his aggressive attitude, but his loyalty.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Do you generally hold a favorable view of lawyers?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf he takes you on, he\u2019s not secretly working with the other side,\u201d said Carlson.<\/p>\n<p>Incredibly, Carlson even credits Freedman for making him reach out to a pair of people \u2014 and fellow Freedman clients \u2014 that he didn\u2019t even like in former CNN hosts Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon, when they went through similar traumatic departures from former employers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt speaks to his decency,\u201d Carlson said.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo described Freedman as having \u201ca very uncommon sense of honor,\u201d particularly given his line of work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/megyn-kelly-savages-wnba-players-cheap-shots-caitlin-clark-try-like\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Megyn Kelly<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/peter-pischke-dear-elon-musk-for-the-sake-of-the-particular-freedom-of-speech-in-our-public-town-square-buy-twitter-asap\/\" title=\"Peter Pischke: Dear Elon Musk, For the Sake of the particular Freedom of Speech in our Public Town Square, buy Twitter ASAP!\">fellow independent journalist<\/a> like Carlson, deployed a young and relatively unknown Freedman when she left NBC News and was as impressed as anyone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was dealing with some dirty dogs,\u201d Kelly said of NBC News. \u201c[A]nd Bryan knew how to handle it. He wasn\u2019t intimidated by their tactics or threats nor their constant leaks in the media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI absolutely adore him and would defend him to the end,\u201d Kelly added. \u201cHe\u2019s honest and has integrity and is brilliant and knows how to fight. He\u2019s tireless. Once he\u2019s on board for you, he\u2019ll kill for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-65389844\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC<\/a> reported last year that Freedman told an audience at a 2021 alumni event that he went into in law to \u201cdo something that was powerful\u201d to help clients.<\/p>\n<p>The network referred to him as a \u201cpit bull\u201d who represents top stars including Robert Downey Jr, Vin Diesel and Kate Beckinsale.<\/p>\n<p>Those on the other side of Freedman\u2019s lawfare have equally impressive \u2014 if a bit more subdued \u2014 things to say about his work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs Bryan Freedman effective? Yes. My life is proof. He\u2019s a shakedown guy,\u201d said former show producer Brian Foster, whose ex-wife was represented by Freedman during divorce proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat blitz?\u201d Foster continued. \u201cHe\u2019s destroyed my life and my family\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other lawyers, however, are not nearly as impressed with the glowing testimonies of Freedman\u2019s most recognizable clients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe knows how to create hype, which instills fear [in the other party], but there\u2019s not a lot of substance,\u201d one lawyer told the Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBryan Freedman isn\u2019t considered a trial lawyer by my peers,\u201d Foster\u2019s lawyer said, referring to Freedman\u2019s less impressive civil court record.<\/p>\n<p>One thing is clear about Freedman: Whether he is a blustery hype-man or a ruthlessly effective lawyer (or something in between), his name is quickly gaining steam among some very powerful players in the media landscape.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>An Important Message from Our Staff:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>We who work here at The Western Journal have fought for years against Big Tech and the elites who want to shut us down and then shut America down. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Make no mistake \u2014 nothing will be the same after November 2024.
