[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reddit also shows the Jamie Heath birth video that Blake claimed was pornography. I won’t post it here but wow. A family cuddling their newborn, with the birthing mom (Heath’s wife) being covered by a blanket throughout most of video. Music of Maxwell (I think) playing in the background, somewhat spiritual, a song about a woman’s worth.

And this was claimed by Blake as being pornographic—Justin and Jamie attempting to show her porn?

Wow. More receipts by Baldoni. Another fabrication by Blake.[/quote]

I’m not sure what was on the screen when it was shown to Lively, but a screen grab that was posted a month ago seemed to show a mostly naked (?) Jamie Heath in a tub laying behind his also mostly naked wife, with the baby on top in a towel. What I mostly noticed from this was two mostly naked people in a tub, which I also wouldn’t want to watch tbh and which I might also confuse with a different kind of video. I am totally on Lively’s side here. [/quote]

This. Also I don't think Lively ever claimed the video was pornography. She alleged that Heath tried to show it to her with no warning or explanation, and, seeing what appeared to be nudity and an awkward position, briefly thought it was porn. Once she knew it was a birth video, she didn't allege it was pornographic.

However, the video on reddit strikes me as extremely intimate and inappropriate to share with a coworker without asking first if they want to see it. I also think showing it to Lively the day after filming the birth scene where Baldoni and Heath pressured Lively to do simulate full nudity in the scene and Baldoni made belittling comments to Lively about how it is "not normal" for a woman to wear a hospital gown during birth are what push this into harassment. They should not have pressured her to do nudity that wasn't specified in the script, should not have made those comments while pressuring her, and should definitely not have shown her the birth video the next day to, I don't know, prove their point on how women should be nude during birth? I truly cannot think of a good reason to show Lively the birth video at all, but especially not with explicitly telling her first "this is my wife's birth video, it's pretty intimate, would you like to see it." Just because Heath and his wife are happy to share these videos with whomever and post them on social media does not mean that everyone wants to see them or feels the same way.

Heath also allegedly said, when Lively asked him if he had his wife's permission to show the video, that his wife "isn't weird about" childbirth, as though being more modest about it is "weird."

If those conversations happened to me in my workplace, I would 100% view it as inappropriate and potentially harassing (depending on what else was happening in the same workplace).

So no, I don't think putting that video on instagram represents "receipts."[/quote]

Idk. When I read the NYT piece it seemed the implication was that they tried to force her to view porn. .. there’s been a lot of backtracking from the implications of that article which made Baldoni sound like a monster. [/quote]
