See the Video Blake Lively Was Shown By ‘It Ends With Us’ Producer That She Claims Was Inappropriate

Justin Baldoni submitted evidence to fire back at Blake Lively’s claims a producer showed her an inappropriate video on the set of It End With Us.

Justin, 40, who directed the film, and producer Jamey Heath included a screenshot of the video in question as part of their lawsuit against The New York Times over an article it published.

In Blake’s separate lawsuit accusing Justin and Jamey of sexual harassment on set, the actress accused Jamey of showing her and her assistant a video she believed to be “pornography” at first.

Her suit claimed, “To add insult to injury, Mr. Heath approached Ms. Lively and her assistant on set and started playing a video of a fully nude woman with her legs spread apart. Ms. Lively thought he was showing her pornography and stopped him. Mr. Heath explained that the video was his wife giving birth.”

Blake’s lawyer wrote, “Ms. Lively was alarmed and asked Mr. Heath if his wife knew he was sharing the video, to which he replied ‘She isn’t weird about this stuff,’ as if Ms. Lively was weird for not welcoming it. Ms. Lively and her assistant excused themselves, stunned that Mr. Heath had shown them a nude video.”

In Justin and Jamey’s lawsuit against The New York Times, they present a much different story than Blake, 37.

Lawyers for the duo said, “The Times compounded its journalistic failures by uncritically advancing Lively’s unsubstantiated claims of sexual harassment against Heath and Baldoni. For example, the Article, based on Lively’s [complaint], sensationally alleges that ‘Mr. Heath had shown [Lively] a video of his naked wife,’ with Lively’s [complaint] even labeling the footage as pornography.’ This claim is patently absurd. The video in question was a (non-pornographic) recording of Heath’s wife and baby during a home birth—a deeply personal one with no sexual overtone.”

Justin and Jamey’s filing added, “To distort this benign event into an act of sexual misconduct is outrageous and emblematic of the lengths to which Lively and her collaborators are willing to go to defame Plaintiffs.”

The lawyer added, “The video was shown to Lively as part of a creative discussion in preparation for a birthing scene in the Film. Heath informed Lively that his wife condoned his displaying the video. Any suggestion that Heath engaged in the exhibition of pornography or inappropriate content is false.”

A photo of the video shows a woman with a baby in her arms after giving birth, with a man sitting behind her, and light coming from above. Blake was not named as a defendant in the lawsuit against The New York Times.

As In Touch previously reported, the legal drama started when Blake filed a lawsuit accusing Justin and Jamey of sexual harassment on set of the 2024 film.

She claims they came into her trailer uninvited while she was breastfeeding on multiple occasions and had sexually charged conversations that made her uncomfortable. In addition, she claimed Justin criticized her weight and secretly called her personal trainer to imply that he wanted her to lose weight.

The actress claimed she made a list of demands she wanted Justin and Jamey to agree to before she returned to filming. The director and producer agreed to the demands.

However, in her lawsuit, Blake claims Justin hired a crisis PR team to smear her in retaliation for her complaining. For his part, Justin denied all allegations of wrongdoing.

He denied that he was inappropriate on set. His powerhouse lawyer, Bryan Freedman, said Blake filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation,” and said the claims were “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt.”

Justin has yet to respond to Blake’s lawsuit. The director and Jamey filed a $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times for running a story about Blake’s complaint with the California Civil Rights Department. Justin claimed the outlet and Blake’s team worked together to smear him with a one-sided article.

His lawyer claimed the outlet cherry-picked text messages to present the narrative Blake wanted pushed.

“The Times, however, was aware that these text messages were unscrupulously altered and selectively edited, enabling both Lively and her team and the Times to propagate a false ‘smear campaign’ narrative designed to destroy Plaintiffs,” the suit read.

In addition, Justin denied all of Blake’s claims. He addressed her claims about the personal trainer in his suit. His lawyer said, “Baldoni, while training for a physically demanding scene in which his character ‘Ryle’ would lift [Lively’s character], asked his trainer (who was introduced to him by Lively and oversaw his training for the Film) how much Lively weighed. Baldoni, who suffers from back issues and has multiple bulging discs, made the inquiry to ensure he could safely perform the lift without injury.”

Justin and Jamey also submitted alleged texts from Blake showing her inviting them into her trailer while she was breastfeeding.

A spokesperson for The New York Times, “Our story was meticulously and responsibly reported.”

The rep said the reporters had reviewed “thousands of pages of original documents, including the text messages and email that we quote accurately and at length in the article.”
