Judge’s Stunning Birth Video Demand Shakes Blake Lively’s Case

The legal fight between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has taken a dramatic turn after a federal judge made a rare and powerful demand involving extremely personal footage tied to her 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.

Now, the court has ordered Heath to hand over all versions of his wife’s home-birth footage, a decision that immediately intensified the already explosive case.

A federal judge has officially ordered Heath to turn over the complete home-birth video of his wife, Natasha, a ruling that instantly shifted the power in Blake Lively’s lawsuit.

According to newly surfaced legal documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Judge 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 moved to sanction Heath for failing to submit the material she says lies at the center of her claims.

Heath had denied showing the Hollywood star the birth footage and maintained he only played a short post-birth video.

However, because Lively alleged otherwise, Judge Liman wrote that “the additional footage should have been produced,” making clear that every version could contain evidence important to the case.

The newly revealed legal filings outline Blake Lively’s account in disturbing detail.

She says Heath approached her and her assistant on set and started playing a video of a “naked woman,” which she believed was explicit content. Heath then told her it was his wife giving birth.

The “Gossip Girl” star says the moment left her shocked and uncomfortable, and she questioned whether Heath’s wife even knew he was sharing such private footage.

According to her complaint, the producer allegedly replied, “She isn’t weird about this stuff,” a comment that made Lively feel as if she were being judged for finding the situation inappropriate.

Lively and her assistant excused themselves, “stunned” by what they had just been shown.

While the judge acknowledged that the videos are “extremely sensitive and deeply personal,” he made it clear that this does not protect them from discovery.

Judge Liman emphasized that Lively requested any documents “relating to, referring to, describing, evidencing, or constituting” the allegations.

Earlier depositions revealed Heath eventually acknowledged the existence of multiple birth-related videos, which fueled Lively’s push for the court to intervene.

The judge ultimately agreed with her position, ruling that because both parties gave conflicting accounts, all versions must be reviewed.

The footage, however, will remain sealed under strict confidentiality protections and will not be made public.

For the actress’s team, the ruling opens the door to determining whether what she saw on set was graphic birth imagery, as she claims, or simply a post-birth family clip, as Heath insists.

The Wayfarer Parties have not stayed silent about 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” from after the birth.

In their now-dismissed complaint, they claimed Heath only tried to show a video “that demonstrated the director’s vision for the scene.”

The Wayfarer parties said the footage, “which ultimately was not shown to Lively, is by all accounts beautiful.”

They insisted 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 it was deplorable to call that moment porn.

Lively, however, maintains that Heath “started playing a video of a fully nude woman with her legs spread apart,” and that she stopped him immediately.

The legal battle between the former co-stars has only grown more tangled as surrounding lawsuits fall away.

Baldoni once 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 move toward final judgment.

Documents show the case is now effectively closed, leaving Lively’s sexual-harassment suit as the only active action remaining.
