[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the issue with the actor playing the obgyn.  There's no allegation he behaved inappropriately, is there?  And he's not some random Joe Schmoe off the street but rather a seasoned professional actor?  Who cares if he and Justin Baldoni knew each other?  He's an actor.  SOMEBODY was going to be down there acting out the birth scene.[/quote]

Being told that someone is bringing in their friend to film with you while half nude with a day's notice is something that would bother me. Somebody was going to be down there, but professionalism means distance, and the friend of the guy you are feeling harassed by doesn't infer distance.[/quote]

He's a professional actor, stop acting like this is some rando pulled from the street. [/quote]

His last on air acting credit was on a procedural drama I've never even heard of in 2016.[/quote]

Well, you've never heard of it. Case closed lol.[/quote]

My point is that his last on air role was a small appearance on a middling network show 8 years ago. In that light, he DOES seem like a rando pulled from the street. [/quote]

Where are the allegations of misconduct? There are none. Blake would never have scored a single acting job if not through family or friends.  I fail to see how a director picking someone they happen to know and for which no alleged misconduct took place is an issue in the slightest unless you have a particular axe to grind.

FWIW I think Reynolds is the leader on all of this. [/quote]

It's weird that if you had a friend who was an actor looking for work, you would choose the role with no lines and where he will be barely noticed in the scene, but which will require him to spend hours sitting between Blake Lively's legs while they are up in stirrups. That's just weird. It's an odd choice. [/quote]

I don't think it's weird at all.[/quote]

Well in that situation the only person who's opinion on whether or not its weird that MATTERS is the person who will be naked with said dude's head between her legs. And it sounds like her wishes were not honored based on the final cut.[/quote]

1. Wasn't naked
2. Said person (more likely, said person's husband) made the final cut.

You are ridiculous. [/quote]

Ok Bianca Censori, she wasn't 'naked'. And the final cut isn't the issue, the issue is who was on set. The final cut deals with what was filmed, not how it was filmed.[/quote]

If she had an issue with who was on set she needs to ammend her complaint to detail why it was problematic this person was chosen for the role beyond, "they know each other."[/quote]

Seemed quite detailed about her issues to me

[quote][b]Baldoni is accused of coercing Lively into an unplanned nude scene and allowing his best friend to play the doctor during the movie’s birth scene[/b]
Lively’s character gives birth in the film. On the day of shooting, both Baldoni and Heath are accused of having “suddenly pressured Ms. Lively to simulate full nudity, despite no mention of nudity for this scene in the script, her contract, or in previous creative discussions.” Baldoni told Lively — a mother of four — women “give birth naked” and that his own wife “ripped her clothes off during labor.” He also said “it was ‘not normal’ for women to remain in their hospital gowns while giving birth.” Lively disagreed, but ultimately said she would be naked from below her chest.

The day the birth scene was filmed was allegedly “chaotic, crowded and utterly lacking in standard industry protections for filming nude scenes — such as choreographing the scene with an intimacy coordinator, having a signed nudity rider, or simply turning off the monitors so the scene was not broadcast to all crew on set (and on their personal phones and iPad).”

Baldoni and Heath allegedly did not close the set, which meant nonessential members of the crew were allowed to pass through freely while “Ms. Lively was mostly nude with her legs spread wide in stirrups and only a small piece of fabric covering her genitalia.”

That group also allegedly included Wayfarer co-chairman Mr. Sarowitz, who flew in for one of his few set visits. “Ms. Lively was not provided with anything to cover herself with between takes until after she had made multiple requests,” the complaint reads. [b]“Ms. Lively became even more alarmed when Mr. Baldoni introduced his ‘best friend’ to play the role of the OBGYN when ordinarily, a small role of this nature would be filled by a local actor. Ms. Lively felt that the selection of Mr. Baldoni’s friend for this intimate role, in which the actor’s face and hands were in close proximity to her nearly nude genitalia for a birth scene, was invasive and humiliating.”[/b][i]

[b]Jamey Heath allegedly showed Blake Lively a graphic video of his wife giving birth[/b]
At some point, Heath is accused of having “approached Ms. Lively and her assistant on set” and showing them a video “of a fully nude woman with her legs spread apart.” Lively thought he was showing her pornography and told him to stop. He then explained the video was of his wife giving birth. After Lively asked if his wife knew he was sharing the video, he reportedly said, “She isn’t weird about this stuff.”

[b]Heath is accused of insisting on facing Lively while she was topless[/b]
Lively claims she attempted to have a meeting with Heath and other producers on the film about Baldoni’s behavior, but Heath showed up unannounced at her hair and makeup trailer while she was “topless and having body makeup removed by makeup artists.”

After Lively asked if she could meet when she was wearing her clothes, Heath “insisted that if she didn’t allow him into her trailer to speak to him at that moment, then there would be no meeting with the other producers.” She agreed, but asked Heath to face away from her.

“A few minutes into the conversation, Ms. Lively noticed that Mr. Heath was staring directly at her while she was topless,” the documents claim. “When she called him out, Mr. Heath brushed it off as a habit of wanting to look at a person while speaking to them. Ms. Lively and her hair and makeup artists were all deeply disturbed by this interaction on just the second day of filming.”

[b]Baldoni and Heath are accused of openly discussing their p*rn consumption[/b]
The complaint also accuses Baldoni and Heath of speaking about “their previous p*rnography addiction.” Baldoni “would often reference p*rnography to Ms. Lively. Hoping to shut the subject down, she said to him privately that she had never seen it.” Baldoni again allegedly referenced “his experiences with p*rnography, he revealed in front of other cast and crew that Ms. Lively had never ‘seen p*rn,’” a moment Lively cites as “an incredible invasion of her privacy.”[/quote][/quote]
