[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing remotely creepy about the video. It’s a BIRTH VIDEO and Blake was shown it as” part of a creative discussion in preparation for a birthing scene in the Film.”  Heath’s wife posted the video on her IG on Mother’s Day. It is not porn. Stop grabbing at straws. [/quote]

Incorrect. By Baldoni's own admission, the video was shown the day AFTER the birth scene was filmed.

No one said it was porn. It was still inappropriate and harassing.[/quote]

It's not sexual harassment nor general harassment when Lively reportedly requested to see it per Baldoni's testimony. You're grasping at straws. [/quote]

Ok, so Baldoni has not given testimony yet.

Baldoni's timeline (in his Exhibit A, which is irregular and should be struck but whatever) says that Baldoni believed Lively "presumably" would like to see the video. This presumption was clearly wrong given that when Heath tried to show it to her, she immediately stopped him and asked if his wife even knew he was sharing it with people.

And yes, showing someone unwanted videos could be part of a harassment campaign at work. Especially videos of a "deeply personal" nature (Heath's words, not mine).[/quote]

Your boss says “ Hey, underlying, I would like you and the team to see this great video of the new sales process that I would like you and the team to take notes on. This is what we’re looking for on the project.”

And you would say”my boss harassed me. He wanted me and the team to watch this video that I thought was absurd and totally inappropriate just because. I want to file a harassment complaint. How dare he!”

That’s akin to what you are saying.

Blake never, ever ever was a victim, except in her own twisted mind[/quote]

1) No one, including Baldoni or Heath, has asserted that Heath told Lively that the video was intended to show her what they were going for in the birth scene. They both described he interaction as starting with Heath showing the video. Also, if Heath had said, "Hey Blake, I want you to look at this video of my wife's birth experience for you to take notes on. This is what we are looking for on the birth scene," I think Lively would have said "We filmed that yesterday, and no I do not want to look at this video, thank you."

2) If the video in question was of my boss's wife giving birth, I would absolutely think it was "absurd" and "totally inappropriate." What world do you live in that people show videos of their wives' nude water births at work? My mom was a nurse and midwife and even she would find that weird unless they asked for specific consent to show that because it is personal. Deeply personal, as Heath described it.

Don't show "deeply personal" videos to colleagues at work without explaining what it is, how it's relevant to your job, and getting their consent first. I didn't think people needed to be told that but apparently they do. Maybe this case will help HR managers revise their training materials to include birth videos.[/quote]

Stop comparing film sets with office jobs.[/quote]
