Judge’s Stunning Birth Video Request Rocks Blake Lively’s Case

The legal fight between Blake Lively And Justin Baldoni took a dramatic turn after a federal judge made a rare and powerful request involving extremely personal images related to his sexual harassment lawsuit against “It ends with us“producer Jamey Heath.
The actress claims Heath once played a fully nude birth clip for her on set without warning, a moment she describes as shocking and deeply inappropriate.
The court has now ordered Heath to hand over all versions of the footage of his wife’s home birth, a move which immediately escalated the already explosive case.

Blake Lively wins major court order as judge demands full birth footage
A federal judge officially ordered Heath to turn over the full video of his wife, Natasha’s, home birth, a decision that instantly shifted the power in Blake Lively’s trial.
According to newly surfaced legal documents obtained by the Daily MailJudge Lewis J. Liman ruled that Heath must provide all video footage related to the birth within three days.
The judge made the decision after Lively decided to sanction Heath for failing to submit the documents she says are at the center of her allegations.
Heath had denied showing the Hollywood star the birth footage and claimed he had only released a short post-birth video.

However, because Lively argued otherwise, Judge Liman wrote that “additional footage should have been produced,” clarifying that each version could contain evidence important to the case.

Lively claims she was shown graphic images without warning

Newly revealed legal documents detail Blake Lively’s account in disturbing detail.
She says Heath approached her and her assistant on set and began playing a video of a “naked woman,” which she believed to be explicit content. Heath then told him that it was his wife who was giving birth.
The “Gossip Girl” star said the moment left her shocked and uncomfortable, and she wondered if Heath’s wife even knew he was sharing such private images.
According to her complaint, the producer responded, “She’s not weird about this stuff,” a comment that made Lively feel like she was being judged for finding the situation inappropriate.
Lively and her assistant apologized, “stunned” by what they had just been shown.

Blake Lively pushes back as judge notes footage is ‘extremely sensitive’

Although the judge acknowledged that the videos were “extremely sensitive and deeply personal,” he clarified that this did not protect them from discovery.
Judge Liman noted that Lively had requested any documents “relating to, referring to, describing, proving or constituting” the allegations.
Earlier depositions revealed that Heath eventually admitted to the existence of several birth-related videos, fueling Lively’s push for the court to intervene.
The judge ultimately accepted his position, ruling that because both sides had given conflicting accounts, all versions needed to be revised.
The images, however, will remain sealed under strict confidentiality protections and will not be made public.

For the actress’s team, the decision opens the door to questioning whether what she saw on set was a graphic image of the birth, as she claims, or simply a family clip after the birth, as Heath insists.
Lively faces retaliation as Justin Baldoni and Jamey Heath call her claims ‘outrageous’

The Wayfarer Parties have not remained silent in the face of Blake Lively’s accusations.
According to court documents, they accused the actress of making an “outrageous and knowingly false suggestion” that she had been shown pornography or nude images during filming.
They insisted the first image was a “beautiful moment” after the birth.
In their now-dismissed complaint, they claimed that Heath had only attempted to show a video “that demonstrated the director’s vision for the scene.”
The Wayfarer parties said the footage, “which was ultimately not shown to Lively, is by all accounts stunning.”
They insisted that the only image Lively saw was “the first image at the start of the video, which shows Heath’s wife, himself and their baby after his wife gave birth at home.”

They argued that it was deplorable to call this moment porn.
Lively maintains, however, that Heath “started posting a video of a completely naked woman with her legs spread” and that she immediately stopped him.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s legal war intensifies as more cases collapse

The legal battle between the former co-stars has only gotten more tangled as the surrounding lawsuits dwindle.
Baldoni previously filed a massive $400 million defamation suit against the New York Times, Lively, Ryan Reynolds and publicist Leslie Sloane, but that case was dismissed in June.
Court filings showed that Baldoni did not amend his dismissed complaint before the deadline, prompting Judge Liman to issue his final ruling.
The documents show that the case is now effectively closed, leaving Lively’s sexual harassment suit as the only remaining active action.
