Blake Lively’s interview made reporter want to quit!
Blake Lively may be one of Hollywood’s most glamorous stars, but her 2016 interview with a reporter left a cold, lasting impression.
Blake Lively’s new drama exposed.
But that’s not all that’s heating up Lively’s recent headlines.
As if the awkward 2016 interview wasn’t enough drama, Lively is also wrapped up in some serious tension with her It Ends With Us co-star and director, Justin Baldoni.
Rumors have been swirling that the two had a major falling out during the filming of the romantic drama, and things haven’t been exactly smooth between them since.
According to reports, a key issue between the two involved comments about Lively’s weight.
Baldoni reportedly asked the film’s personal trainer about Lively’s weight in preparation for a scene where he had to lift her.
While Baldoni claims it was simply due to concerns over a previous back injury, Lively allegedly took the question as a fat-shaming dig.
Not exactly the type of conversation that smooths over any tensions on set.
And if this wasn’t bad enough, Flaa’s reposting of their 2016 interview has only added fuel to the fire.
So what’s the story behind this chilly exchange?
Behind the scenes of the infamous Blake Lively interview.
Well, at the time, Blake Lively was at the peak of her career, married to Ryan Reynolds, and a mother to one-year-old James.
She had just announced her second pregnancy, which sparked a wave of media scrutiny about her body, parenting, and every other detail of her life.
Lively has long been vocal about the challenges of living under a microscope, especially as a mom in the public eye.
She’s spoken out in interviews about how hurtful comments about her body or parenting can be, particularly during vulnerable times like pregnancy.
Hollywood star faces years of body criticism.
In fact, Lively has dealt with the media’s obsession with her image since her days on Gossip Girl.
Back then, she was labeled a style icon but was also constantly critiqued for her body and personal choices.
No wonder she’s got her guard up.
So Flaa’s innocent remark seemed to have hit a sore spot.
Reporter slams Blake Lively’s icy demeanor.
Journalist Kjersti Flaa is calling out Lively for what she claims was her most “uncomfortable” interview ever, and the receipts are out in the open.
In a video posted to Flaa’s YouTube channel, the tension between the two women is painfully obvious from the very start.
Reporter’s comment ignites awkwardness with Blake Lively.
The interview, meant to promote the Woody Allen film Café Society, took an awkward turn almost immediately when Flaa congratulated Lively on her baby bump.
Lively, who was pregnant with her second daughter, Inez, didn’t exactly take it well.
In a chilly response, Blake shot back, “Congrats on your little bump,” clearly not amused by the comment.
Here’s where things get even more awkward: Flaa wasn’t pregnant.
The air between the two thickened with icy tension as the interview dragged on, making for a few uncomfortable moments on both sides.

Flaa tried to pivot, switching the topic to the film’s wardrobe, but Lively was having none of it.
Instead of answering, she chose to respond only to her co-star, Parker Posey, who sat beside her, avoiding Flaa altogether.
Blake Lively calls out media.
Things hit a new low when Lively made a dig at the media in general, calling out the press for being “intrusive.”
While her comments weren’t directly aimed at Flaa, it was clear the gloves were off, and it wasn’t pretty.
Lively’s icy reaction likely stems from years of dealing with intrusive questions about her personal life.
Flaa is likely trying to cash in on the buzz surrounding Blake’s recent drama with Baldoni.
Kjersti called the chat her “most uncomfortable interview situation,” and it’s not hard to see why.
For now, though, all eyes are on Blake Lively and her next move—whether it’s on the big screen or in front of the press.
