Blake Lively, known for her roles in popular films such as The Age of Adaline and A Simple Favor, has recently found herself embroiled in controversy. Reports of a rift between her and co-star Justin Baldoni on the set of their new film It Ends With Us have been circulating, with some sources claiming that Baldoni made hurtful comments about Lively’s weight. Additionally, Lively has faced criticism for her promotional efforts for the film, which some feel do not align with its serious tone.
Adding fuel to the fire is the resurfacing of an old interview from eight years ago featuring Lively and her co-star Parker Posey. Journalist Kjersti Flaa, who conducted the interview during the promotion of their movie Cafe Society, recently uploaded a clip of the interview on her YouTube channel. In the clip, Flaa congratulates Lively on her pregnancy, to which the actress responds somewhat dismissively. The interview takes a tense turn when Lively questions why certain questions about costumes are not directed at male co-stars as well.
Flaa described the interview as „the most uncomfortable situation“ she’s ever faced, and the clip has garnered millions of views. Some speculate that the timing of the interview’s release, coinciding with the drama between Lively and Baldoni, may be part of a smear campaign orchestrated by the actor-director. However, Flaa has denied any connection to Baldoni and clarified that she released the interview not to target Lively but to share her own experience after a recent discussion with another journalist about a confiscated interview.
In a clip posted by TMZ on YouTube, Flaa expressed her feelings of shame and confusion following the interview with Lively and Posey. She emphasized the importance of shedding light on such experiences to prevent them from happening again in the future. Flaa also stated that she was unaware of the current controversy surrounding Lively and Baldoni, as she had only watched It Ends With Us and was not involved in the drama.
As It Ends With Us continues to screen in theaters, the controversy surrounding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni remains a topic of discussion in the entertainment industry. Despite the rumors and speculation, it is essential to consider all perspectives and information before drawing conclusions about the situation.
