As a longtime fan of Blake Lively, I must admit that this recent resurfaced interview has left me feeling a bit conflicted. On one hand, it’s always disheartening to see someone you admire potentially come off as rude or dismissive, especially when it involves another woman. However, as someone who has followed her career for years, I know Blake to be a strong advocate for women’s rights and a supporter of other female actors.

Ever since the August 9 release of “It Ends With Us”, I’ve noticed quite the buzz on social media about it – good and bad. Recently, an old interview of Blake Lively has been making rounds, casting her in a rather questionable light.
During the promotion of their 2016 film “Café Society,” Lively and her co-star had an interview with Kjersti Flaa that was later shared on YouTube, titled “The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job.” At this time, Lively was pregnant, and when Flaa commented on Lively’s baby bump, the actress playfully returned the compliment by acknowledging Flaa’s own small bump. The conversation continued with jokes about their bodies, but it became a bit more unusual as it progressed.
Inquired about the costumes, Lively ponders if the male actors in the movie, such as Jesse Eisenberg and Corey Stoll, are also asked about their costumes. This leads her and Posey into a discussion – without Flaa’s involvement – on the overall design of the film. It’s quite an awkward situation, as Flaa points out in the video description: “Is it not appropriate to express congratulations for someone’s pregnancy or to inquire about costumes worn by another actress in a movie?”
What do people on social media think of this old Blake Lively interview?
2016 interviews featuring Blake Lively on social media platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter) are generating contrasting responses; some supporters are backing the “Gossip Girl” actress, while others argue that she’s involved in the controversy surrounding “It Ends With Us”. For instance, @_RandomJ_ tweeted, People defending Blake Lively here seem overzealous. Her pregnancy was already announced at this point, and the full interview shows her dismissing the interviewer for much of it. Kjersti Flaa handles herself admirably; I would have confronted Blake on camera myself. quillfountain shared similar sentiments, saying that Blake’s response to the ‘congrats on your little bump’ comment, even though Kjersti Flaa did not confirm her pregnancy, can be seen as insensitive and perpetuating body shaming. Furthermore, her focus on conversation with her co-actress rather than acknowledging Kjersti adds to the offense.
It’s important to note that not everyone believed Blake Lively was at fault in this situation. @effoff1988 started a detailed discussion about the topic, stating that while Blake Lively’s handling of press for her latest film may have been questionable, initiating a productive conversation about it is reasonable. On the other hand, @urbanbatfitters highlighted a double standard by pointing out that Kjersti Flaa was criticized, particularly for sharing an interview with Blake Lively and Parker Posey in 2016 where they declined to answer sexist and intrusive questions, which were not asked of men.
What’s going on with Blake Lively nad her latest film It Ends With Us?
Hey there! Let’s take a step back for a moment. I can’t help but notice the intense attention surrounding Blake Lively’s actions during press events, and I’m curious – how does this connect to her latest movie, “It Ends with Us”? In this film, Blake portrays Lily Blossom Bloom, a florist who finds herself in a tumultuous relationship with Ryle Kincaid, played by Justin Baldoni from “Jane the Virgin.” As the story unfolds, we discover that Ryle is abusive, mirroring the destructive relationship between Lily’s parents (depicted in flashbacks featuring Isabela Ferrer as young Lily). Amidst this turmoil, Lily must find a way to break free from the chains of generational trauma and abuse, especially when they have a child together.
The narrative seems to revolve primarily around Lively and Baldoni. Notably, they have scarcely appeared together in interviews, and on top of that, Baldoni appears to be somewhat distant from the main cast. While Lively has been discussing both the film’s themes and her new haircare line during press tours, her husband Ryan Reynolds has also been actively promoting his movie “Deadpool & Wolverine.” This perceived disagreement has led some people to find reasons to criticize Lively and Baldoni, with the re-emergence of Kjersti Flaa’s interview being a manifestation of this.
“It Ends with Us” is in theaters now.
