Harrison has retained power attorney Bryan Freedman, who represented Gabrielle Union in her America's Got Talent dispute with NBC Universal. It's unclear what legal actions Harrison could take, but a friend of his tells Page Six: “Chris has had a spotless record for 20 years … He has always been the good company man, but, after the way he’s been treated by producers and executives over the past couple of weeks, he’s run out of cheeks to turn....Now he’s ready to tell the truth about how things really work over there — and he has plenty of evidence to back him up.”
