In 2021, ESPN broadcaster Sage Steele faced suspension for controversial comments she made, leading her to seek advice from Chris Harrison, known for defending a contestant accused of racism on The Bachelor. Harrison recommended his lawyer, Bryan Freedman, renowned for representing high-profile clients in Hollywood crises. Steele eventually left ESPN but was satisfied with the settlement Freedman secured. Freedman's reputation as a fierce advocate has grown, representing clients like Kevin Spacey and FKA Twigs in high-profile cases. Despite his aggressive approach, clients see Freedman as a loyal, compassionate protector. While facing his own legal challenges, including resurfaced allegations of a sexual assault case settled in the past, Freedman remains a formidable force in the industry.
