Fact Check: Is JFK's grandson Jack Schlossberg really Justin Baldoni's lawyer?
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ever since Jack Schlossberg, grandson of former president John F Kennedy, tweeted about Justin Baldoni being his "client," the Internet has been rife with speculations about whether there was any truth to his claims.
According to a report published by E! Online on Saturday, January 4, the 'Jane the Virgin' actor's real lawyer recently broke silence on the issue, and dismissed the rumors as "ridiculous."
Jack Schlossberg's tweets about representing Justin Baldoni
Justin Baldoni has been embroiled in an escalating legal battle with his 'It Ends With Us' co-star Blake Lively since she filed a harassment and retaliation complaint against him with the California Civil Rights Department on December 21, 2024.
On New Year's Eve, Baldoni filed a lawsuit against The New York Times for their coverage of the legal drama. Shortly afterward, Schlossberg took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to claim that he had agreed to represent the actor.
In one tweet, the 31-year-old wrote, "I agreed to take on JUSTIN BALDONI as a client. Why ? FAIRNESS. 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**t, different day," added Schlossberg, who graduated from Harvard Law School in 2022 and passed the New York bar exam in 2023.
He is the son of Caroline Kennedy and the only grandson of JFK.
I agreed to take on JUSTIN BALDONI as a client.

Why ? FAIRNESS
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 shit, different day
Schlossberg doubled down on his claim in a separate tweet, stating, "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."

Telling the outlet that Baldoni "has never spoken to" Schlossberg, Freedman further clarified, "Nobody on my team has spoken to him."
