Blake Lively takes legal action against 'It Ends With Us' producer over 'sensitive' video

Blake Lively’s lawsuit takes a new turn as now she has accused the producer of her film It Ends With Us of withholding a sensitive video.

The 38-year-old actress’s legal team revealed that the sensitive materials are being withheld in her sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

According to a letter obtained by PEOPLE on Monday, November 3, Lively's attorneys asked Judge Lewis J. Liman to "sanction" the film's producer, Jamey Heath, accusing him of having failed to provide "certain materials" he was ordered to hand over by September 2.

It is important to mention that the A Simple Favor actress referenced "the video Mr. Heath showed Ms. Lively on the set of the Film of his fully nude wife during the birth of their child during an at-home birth."

Lively claimed in the filing that she was shown the alleged video "without warning or consent."

The mother-of-four stated that Heath submitted just a three-minute clip, insisting it differs from the video she originally saw.

She added that despite weeks of denial, Heath later acknowledged the video during a recent deposition.

"Yet, Mr. Heath's counsel has refused to produce any further video on the sole basis that, in their view, the Order Compelling Production should be read exceedingly narrowly and does not require Mr. Heath to produce. Not so,” Lively continued.

She reiterated that Heath allegedly showed her the video on set "without her consent or warning in the workplace."

It is "plainly improper" for him to argue that "the small excerpt" he shared is the same footage he showed Lively, "when it does not comport whatsoever with her memory," the letter read.

The Gossip Girl alum accused Heath of deliberately withholding key evidence, preventing her from addressing it during his deposition.

She asked the judge to compel him to hand over all birth-related footage within three days and bar him from testifying about it.

Notably, Blake Lively’s 2024 lawsuit also accused Baldoni and Heath of “disturbing” and “unprofessional” behaviour, alleging they overshared sexual details and entered her on-set trailer, the private dressing area assigned to her, without her permission.
