A resurfaced 2016 interview with Blake Lively has led to renewed scrutiny and online debate, particularly after a journalist disclosed their disheartening experience. Reporter Jkersti Flaa, who interviewed Lively during her pregnancy, shared that she was met with a sharp and unexpected response from the actress.
In the interview, Flaa congratulated Lively on her pregnancy, a gesture that was reportedly met with noticeable disdain from the actress. This incident has sparked a flurry of reactions from viewers, many of whom sided with the journalist. Comments on social media have criticized Lively’s response as “uncalled for,” with one user noting, “She and her husband talk about their kids all the time, and you can’t congratulate her on her pregnancy? That was such weird and uncalled-for behavior. I’m sorry you had to sit through that.”
Another comment expressed disappointment, saying, “Wow, this is disappointing to watch. I’m very turned off by Blake and Parker’s behavior. It lacked tact, and Blake, in particular, was extremely rude and lacked class here. Shame on her.”
During the interview, Lively appeared to ignore the reporter’s comments and redirected her focus to a question about wardrobe choices, speaking directly and making eye contact with her castmate. She remarked, “Everyone wants to talk about the clothes, but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes.”
The timing of this video’s resurfacing is notable, coming amid speculation about a possible rift between Lively and Justin Baldoni, her co-star in It Ends With Us. Rumors of creative differences have circulated, particularly after Baldoni’s conspicuous absence from the film’s premiere photos.
As this controversy unfolds, the incident has reignited discussions about celebrity interactions with the press and the expectations placed on public figures.
