Blake Lively Says Justin Baldoni Humiliated Her in ‘It Ends With Us’ Birth Scene
Blake Lively on Justin Baldoni
He Humiliated Me With Nearly Nude Birth Scene
Published
Blake Lively says Justin Baldoni pushed for her to be practically nude for an “It Ends With Us” scene where she gives birth in a hospital … and she says being spread-eagled on set with “barely covered genitalia” felt “violative and humiliating.”
Excerpts from Blake’s deposition from her legal war with Baldoni were unsealed Tuesday, and it’s got a bunch of graphic details … including her reaction to the nude birth scene, plus photos of her during the shoot with her bare legs spread wide open.
In her depo, Blake said on the day of the birth scene, Baldoni and ‘IEWU’ producer Jamey Heath insisted she simulate giving birth naked … and she says Baldoni told her his wife tore her clothes off when giving birth to their children.
Blake says she told Baldoni she was never nude during the four times she gave birth to her kids, and she claims she requested her character wear a hospital gown … the scene was set in a hospital.
She says Baldoni continued to press for nudity and insisted the prosthetic belly be visible … and Blake says she felt “forced to compromise and ultimately agreed to simulate nudity from below the chest down, which we had not previously discussed or agreed to.”
Blake says it took several hours to film the birth scene … and she says, “At many points during filming, I was positioned on my back on a hospital bed, with my naked legs spread apart wide in stirrups, while non-essential crew passed by.”
She says the only thing covering her besides a “strategically placed hospital gown” was a “small, thin and flat piece of black fabric to cover my genitalia.”
Blake says production filmed several angles of her simulating giving birth, including from the side and from the front, with simulated nudity from her “lower half down.” She claims, “I had to request a blanket to be given to me for privacy between takes, which was not always provided.”
On the day of the birth scene, Blake says she learned the actor playing the OB/GYN was one of Baldoni’s friends … and she says the actor was “repeatedly positioned between my legs in close proximity to my barely covered genitalia.”
Blake says, “I was extremely uncomfortable with the degree to which I was exposed during the Birth Scene, which felt violative and humiliating. That was amplified by having Baldoni’s best friend acting between my legs, and his other best friend and the Film’s financier visiting that day of all days.”

She says she felt it was “inappropriate” for the financier, Steve Sarowitz, to visit the set on the day of the birthing scene.
What’s more, Blake says the day after the birth scene was filmed, Heath showed her a video of a fully nude woman … and says she thought it was a porno. Blake says she looked away and asked Heath to stop, and that’s when he told her the video showed his wife giving birth.
We’ve reached out to Justin Baldoni … so far, no word back.
Fetty Wap
Back In My Girl Khari’s Life After Prison!!!
Published
Fetty Wap is in full doting-dad mode after getting out of prison … reuniting with his daughter Khari — and TMZ’s got the very first pic from their emotional reunion.
Sources close to the fam tell us Fetty spent all of last week bonding with Khari — the daughter he shares with ex Masika — and it’s safe to say she was over the moon to have her dad back. Fetty was also kicking it with Masika’s daughter Amari, who she shares with her late husband.
We’re told 9-year-old Khari was so happy it actually made Masika cry. The whole crew rolled up to the studio with Fetty, grabbed food, did some shopping, and Khari even met all of her siblings — Fetty’s other kids — for the very first time, and everybody got along great.
As we told you, Fetty and Masika settled their differences after he got out of prison … and they were totally cool with each other all week.

Masika’s now even thinking about Fetty’s offer to move her and the kids back to New Jersey, since he’s stuck in Philly on home confinement until November.
And about any romance popping back off? Our source says “never say never,” based on how well Fetty and Masika have been getting along. For now, though, we’re told they’re both keeping it all about co-parenting.
Abella Danger
Pissed At ESPN …
I Didn’t Want To Be Filmed!!!
Published
Abella Danger wishes she could’ve watched her Miami Hurricanes compete without her face being plastered all over national TV … with the adult film icon telling TMZ Sports she’s sorry to anyone offended by her cameo appearance during Monday night’s championship game.
The current Miami student’s mug popped up during ESPN’s broadcast of the Hurricanes’ College Football Playoff Championship matchup with the Indiana Hoosiers at Hard Rock Stadium … right when her fav team was down 10 with under seven minutes left in the game.
The crowd shot was intended to show Canes fans’ emotions during the crucial moment in the contest … and it succeeded, ’cause it looked like she was really going through it.
Danger’s appearance immediately made rounds on social media … with some cracking jokes and others questioning whether the network was aware of WHO exactly they were showing.
Regardless, it’s not the first time she’s been shown on screen — as she’s attended a ton of Miami games in the past — and camera crews have tracked her down numerous times.
But Danger’s legitimately upset over her camera time … telling us, “I would give anything in the world to not have had ESPN film me, and I am so deeply sorry to anyone I offended with my attendance at the game.”

“I wish I could be any other student supporting my team.”
Danger’s quite famous — whether folks will publicly admit it or not, chances are they know her face — but she’s clearly trying to keep it more lowkey these days.
To make matters worse, she was truly sad to see her team lose … but hey, they’ll be back, Abella!!
We’ve reached out to ESPN for comment.
