Reporter blasts ‘nightmare’ Blake Lively over interview that made her ‘want to quit’ amid ‘It Ends With Us’ drama
Interviewing Blake Lively made Kjersti Flaa “want to quit” her job.
On Saturday, the reporter shared a clip of herself speaking to the actress and her “Café Society” co-star Parker Posey in 2016, calling the conversation a “nightmare.”
She referred to the sitdown as “the most uncomfortable … situation” she has ever experienced over the weekend.
In the throwback footage, Flaa congratulated the actress, 36, on her “little bump” as Lively had recently confirmed she was pregnant with baby No. 2.
The “Gossip Girl” alum sarcastically replied, “Congrats on your little bump.”
As she and Flaa awkwardly laughed at the dig, Posey, 55, attempted to diffuse the tension by showing off her backside “bump.”
She and Lively went on to admire Posey’s “lovely lady lumps” as Flaa looked on.
When the journalist called the Woody Allen movie “visually amazing” and asked whether the cast members enjoyed the fashion, Lively subtly scolded her.
Without looking at Flaa, she told Posey, “Everyone wants to talk about the clothes, but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes.”
After Flaa insisted, “I would,” Lively and Posey talked amongst themselves about their male co-stars’ best outfits.
The “Age of Adaline” star concluded, “It’s not just the women that have the clothes, but I feel like the women get the conversation.”
She and Posey continued to primarily look at each other while chatting.
Social media users slammed Lively’s “weird and uncalled for” behavior in the video, praising Flaa for keeping her “composure” during the “thoroughly unpleasant” experience.
One commented, “They were so rude it was hard to watch. Well done you for not joining in. … Sorry you got the bullies back in the bus.”
Another added that their “jaw dropped” watching the interview.
Lively’s rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The viral video comes as Lively makes headlines for alleged on-set drama with director and co-star Justin Baldoni in “It Ends With Us.”
As the duo do press for the movie, which premiered last week, they have fueled feud rumors by avoiding doing interviews together and not posing for a single red carpet snap.
An industry source told Page Six on Friday that the “extremely difficult” actor made Lively “uncomfortable” on set, also claiming the rest of the cast and crew didn’t “enjoy working with” Baldoni.
