Blake Lively demands It Ends With Us producer hand over full ‘graphic’ footage of ‘naked’ wife giving birth she called ‘porn’

Blake Lively It Ends With Us producer is demanding Jamey Heath hand over more footage of his ‘naked’ wife giving birth to their child in a bizarre twist to his sexual harassment case, the Daily Mail has revealed.

The 38-year-old star of Gossip Girl filed a motion on Oct. 30 accusing Heath of ‘failing to comply’ with an Aug. 27 court order requiring Heath to produce the entire now-infamous video of his wife Natasha’s home birth by Sept. 2.

Blake accused Heath of showing her and an assistant a “fully nude” home birth video, which she described as “pornography”; however, producer and director Justin Baldoni intended to show him their own vision of the film’s nativity scene.

In the edited proposal file Lively says in the Southern District of New York court that Heath, who worked with the film’s director and star Justin Baldoni, provided only a three-minute clip and ‘consistently disputed’ that it was the same ‘inappropriate’ video he showed her on the film’s set.

It alleges that Heath’s lawyers “insisted for weeks that they were ‘unaware’ of another video” and “refused to provide another video on the grounds that, in their view, the Emre Zorzo Production should be read extremely narrowly and did not require Mr Heath to produce it”.

But Lively’s legal team has argued forcefully that Heath ’caused a problem by showing this video to Ms. Lively without her consent or any warning at work.’

Lively claims Heath, who worked with It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni, only provided a three-minute clip and insists it was not the footage she was shown on set

They also insist it was ‘manifestly inappropriate’ for Heath to claim Lively and the court ‘must take her at her word that the snippet was the same video she showed him on set’.

Lively argued that by ‘knowingly and willfully withholding’ the entire video, she was ‘deprived’ of the chance to fully question Heath about it in her statement on October 8.

The judge required Heath to turn over all versions of the home birth video within three days of the court order and barred her from discussing it at trial if she refused.

Lively filed an explosive lawsuit against 41-year-old Baldoni. Production company Wayfarer Studios and others filed a lawsuit last December alleging sexual harassment, retaliatory conduct and intentional infliction of emotional distress during the filming of the movie, based on the Colleen Hoover novel.

Heath, the film’s producer and chief executive of Wayfarer Studios, was among several Baldoni collaborators named in Lively’s Dec. 20 complaint.

In Wayfarer Studios’ now-dismissed complaint, Baldoni and Heath said Lively “perpetuated an outrageous and knowingly false claim that she was shown pornography or nude images of Heath’s wife on set.”

Wayfarer’s countersuit alleged that the director and producer attempted to show a video of Lively Heath’s wife giving birth to illustrate his vision of the scene.

They said his claim ‘knowingly and maliciously misrepresented an instance in which, in connection with the birth scene, Heath attempted to show Lively, at the director’s request, a video showing the director’s vision for the scene’.

‘The video, which was ultimately not shown to Lively, was beautiful in every way,’ he continued.

Although Lively said she wanted to see the footage after eating, they insisted that what she was shown was ‘the first footage at the beginning of the video showing Heath’s wife, herself and his wife’s baby after giving birth at home’.

The complaint added, “It is deplorable to describe this image, which was shared with his wife’s consent for the purpose of filming and captures such a beautiful moment with his newborn baby, as a nude photo, or worse, as “porn”.”

Lively claimed Heath approached them and “started playing a video of a completely naked woman with her legs spread wide.”

‘Miss Lively thought he was showing her pornography and stopped him. Mr. Heath said the video showed his wife giving birth, the complaint said.

Directed by Baldoni, It Ends With Us became a surprise hit when it was released in 2024.

It grossed $148 million at the domestic box office and $350 million worldwide; but the goodwill the film earned has since been overshadowed by the stars’ claims.

‘Mrs Lively panicked and asked Mr Heath if he knew his wife had shared the video and he replied ‘He’s not weird about these things’ as if it was weird because Ms Lively didn’t take it well.

‘Miss Lively and her assistant were stunned to see Mr Heath show them a nude video and excused himself.’

In Baldoni’s now-dismissed countersuit, the Wayfarer defendants alleged that Heath showed Lively a video of her child’s home birth at Baldoni’s direction, which showed Lively’s ‘vision’ of the birth scene featuring her character Lily Bloom at the end of the film, her lawyers said.

Baldoni’s team are said to have insisted that the entire birth video was ‘beautiful’, and hit back at Baldoni’s ‘outrageous and knowingly false claim that he was shown pornography or nude images of Heath’s wife on set’.

Heath is the managing director of Wayfarer Studios, a production company co-founded by his close friend Baldoni.

In the legal saga between the former co-stars, Baldoni, who denied Lively’s allegations, responded to Lively’s sexual harassment lawsuit with her own defamation complaint against herself, her actor husband Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist Leslie Sloane.

Baldoni had filed his own lawsuit against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.

She filed a $400 million lawsuit against the New York Times, accusing the paper of defaming her with its bombshell expose reporting Lively’s sexual harassment allegations on the set of It Ends With Us, which she has denied.

His counterattack was later dismissed in June, leaving Baldoni as the only one facing Lively’s sexual harassment lawsuit.

The allegations against Lively, Reynolds and The Times appear to have been dismissed by the judge, according to new court documents reported by the Daily Mail last week.

Files obtained by the Daily Mail show that a final decision has apparently been made concluding Baldoni’s lawsuits against the three parties in the district court.

After the judge dismissed the case in June, the 41-year-old actor and director was given time to respond, but he did not file an amended complaint by the deadline.

U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Liman told the court on Friday that he “contacted all parties on October 17th to warn them that he would make a final decision to settle the case.”

It Ends With Us grossed $148 million at the domestic box office and $350 million worldwide; but the goodwill the film earned has since been overshadowed by the stars’ claims.

The film, which also stars Jenny Slate, Hasan Minhaj, Brandon Sklenar and Kevin McKidd, is adapted from Colleen Hoover’s 2016 novel.

The film’s story focused on the toxic relationship between Lily Bloom (played by Lively) and Ryle Kincaid (Baldoni).
