A federal judge has ordered It Ends With Us producer Jamey Heath to turn over all footage of his wife Natasha's home birth within three days. Blake Lively claims Heath played a clip of the "sensitive" video, which she initially believed was pornography, to her and her assistant on set without warning.
Lively is suing Heath and others, alleging sexual harassment. Heath denies showing Lively birth footage and insists he only showed a post-birth video.
Judge Lewis J. Liman ruled that the full birth video may contain evidence supporting Lively's account and contradicts Heath's claims, thus ordering its production despite its sensitive nature.
The footage will be protected by a confidentiality order and will not be made public. This development is a significant step in Lively's lawsuit, which also names Justin Baldoni and his production company Wayfarer Studios, all of whom deny Lively's allegations.
