Freedman accused them of spreading edited and fabricated information to the media, claiming, "This is a battle she will not win and will certainly regret."

The statement also criticized Lively's smear campaign, accusing her of using the media to garner sympathy for her own mistakes while profiting from the promotion of her film. The publicists noted receiving severe abuse, including death threats and anti-Semitic slurs, due to Lively’s actions. They condemned the use of power and money to intimidate and bully those who challenge or oppose the celebrity's actions.
