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.

Chris Pratt plays a detective put on trial by an A.I. judge for his wife’s murder in his new flick, “Mercy” … and he’s now sounding off on whether the real-life justice system could actually go that high-tech too.
We caught up with the Hollywood star in NYC Tuesday … and when we asked if the way things are going means more artificial intelligence could start taking over in courtrooms, he made it crystal clear — he seriously hopes not.
ABC
Catch the clip … ’cause Chris doesn’t give a straight yes-or-no as far as an official A.I. takeover … but he does point out we’re already using way more artificial intelligence in our everyday lives than we even realize.
So hey, make of that what you will … but to keep things light, he also dishes a little on the Super Bowl — so catch that too!
President Trump
Danish Politician Tells 47 to ‘F*** Off’!!!
Published
President Trump‘s potty mouth is rubbing off on other world leaders, including a European Parliament official who gave DT a dose of his own medicine.
Anders Vistisen — a Danish member of the European Parliament — stood up in front of his fellow politicians Tuesday and delivered a scathing speech that targeted Trump for threatening to take over Greenland, which is currently under the authority of Denmark.
Check out this video … which captures the exact moment Vistisen torpedoes Trump with some choice words while standing at the podium. In a calm, steady voice, Vistisen says to Trump, “Let me put this in words you might understand, Mr. President, f*** off.”
But his F-bomb didn’t go over too well with the parliament’s VP Nicolae Stefanuta, who quickly chimed in, telling Vistisen that his language was unacceptable.
Vistisen responded that Trump only understands directness and a strong rebuttal. Previously, in January 2025, Vistisen cursed out Trump after 47 talked about snatching up Greenland.
And just yesterday … Trump was at it again, telling reporters “we have to have” Greenland while showing an A.I.-generated image of himself, VP J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio holding a U.S. flag on a land marked Greenland on his Truth Social platform.
We reached out to the White House about Vistisen’s comments — spokesperson Anna Kelly tells us … “President Trump was not elected to preserve the status quo – he is a visionary leader who is always generating creative ideas to bolster U.S. national security. Many of this President’s predecessors recognized the strategic logic of acquiring Greenland, but only President Trump has had the courage to pursue this seriously.”
Kelly added, “As the President said, NATO becomes far more formidable and effective with Greenland in the hands of the United States, and Greenlanders would be better served if protected by the United States from modern threats in the Arctic region.”
