Key Points:
- Adam Mondschein, who played the OBGYN in "It Ends With Us," defended Blake Lively's involvement in the film, stating she was a confident producer who controlled creative decisions during the controversial birthing scene.
- Mondschein disputed Lively's claims that the birthing scene was invasive and humiliating, emphasizing that she was fully covered with a prosthetic, hospital gown, and shorts, and that he was qualified for the role.
- Lively had accused director and co-star Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and criticized his casting choices, including Mondschein's role, but Mondschein previously defended Baldoni's intentions and commitment to the film's important themes.
- The legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni was settled in a last-minute deal on May 4, after weeks of negotiations and judicial encouragement to avoid a lengthy trial.
