The recent controversy surrounding Blake Lively and her behavior during an old interview has sparked a debate among fans and critics alike. Norwegian journalist Kjersti Flaa recently shared a clip of her awkward chat with the Gossip Girl actor from 2016, where Lively seemed less than thrilled to be speaking with her. The interview took place during the promotion of Woody Allen’s film Café Society, and things quickly went downhill after Flaa congratulated Lively on her pregnancy.
Flaa described the encounter as the ‚most uncomfortable interview situation‘ she’s ever experienced, with Lively’s response to her pregnancy congratulations coming off as sarcastic. The actor’s demeanor throughout the interview was described as cold and dismissive, leaving Flaa feeling uneasy and unwelcome. Despite Flaa’s attempts to steer the conversation towards the film’s costumes, Lively’s responses only added to the tension.
In a recent appearance on the YouTube show Popcorned Planet, Flaa shared her thoughts on why Lively may have reacted the way she did during the interview. Flaa speculated that Lively may have simply been in a bad mood and not wanting to be there, leading to her less-than-friendly behavior. Flaa also mentioned that Lively’s reaction to her pregnancy congratulations may have put her in a ‚horrible mood‘ that she felt the need to ‚punish‘ Flaa for.
Flaa’s decision to share the old interview has reignited discussions about Lively’s reputation in Hollywood. While some have criticized the actor for her perceived rudeness during the interview, others have come to her defense, arguing that Flaa’s initial comment about Lively’s pregnancy was inappropriate and could have been handled with more tact. The debate has highlighted the complexities of celebrity interviews and the importance of mutual respect between interviewers and interviewees.
As the drama continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Lively will address the old interview or offer an apology to Flaa. Regardless of the outcome, the incident serves as a reminder of the challenges and pitfalls of conducting celebrity interviews, where tensions can run high and missteps can have lasting consequences. In the end, it’s a lesson for both journalists and celebrities on the importance of professionalism and courtesy in the public eye.
