Adam Mondschein , who appeared as a doctor in It Ends with Us , has released a statement after seemingly being referenced in Blake Lively ‘s lawsuit against Justin Baldoni . Her complaint referenced the “violative birthing scene” from the movie, which she alleges Justin “cast a friend as her OBGYN.” “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,” one statement from her complaint alleged. She also described the set as “chaotic, crowded, and utterly lacking in standard industry protections for filming nude scenes.
Mr. [Jamey] Heath and Mr. Baldoni also failed to close the set, allowing non-essential crew to pass through while Ms.
Lively was partially nude from below the chest down with her legs spread wide in stirrups and only a small piece of fabric covering her genitalia.” The complaint further alleged, “Contrary to the Wayfarer Parties’ contention, the production did not maintain a closed set..
.Ms. Lively was not provided with anything with which to cover herself between takes until after she had made multiple requests.

Adam released a statement to Page Six , saying, “I’m not going to speculate as to Ms. Lively ’s motivations for mentioning me in the complaint. Needless to say, my experience working with her is very different than the one she described in her lawsuit.
Indeed, I was surprised to read her description of the scene.” He alleges, “Her costume included a full hospital gown, black shorts and torso-covering prosthetic to make her appear pregnant in addition to whatever personal garments she chose.” He also alleged that Blake “never complained or expressed discomfort at any point because nothing unusual or improper occurred.
It was entirely professional.” He said, “Ms. Lively’s insinuations regarding my qualifications are offensive, as my bonafides are easily searchable online.
Lastly, I was, in fact, a local hire (my wife and I are from New York and spend significant time there). As such, I, like any actor accepting that contract, was required to cover my own travel and living expenses in connection with the job.” He did say he would testify in court if he was required to, saying, “If I’m called to testify in the case I will answer truthfully, and more freely, whatever is asked of me with all the legal protection that affords.
In particular, by noting that Ms. Lively was not ‘nearly nude’ in the scene we shot together.” If you are interested in reading more about the cases, Justin released some of his alleged text messages , and Blake released some of her own, including one where Ryan Reynolds allegedly gave instructions to Blake ‘s publicist.
