Blake Lively’s Resurfaced Interview And Movie Marketing Misstep Send Fans Into A Frenzy

Yikes!

Blake Lively is back on the news, but this time, it’s for the wrong purpose only. She is under fire after a 2016 interview (when she was pregnant) was released in which she showed “bullying” behavior to the interviewer.

Key Takeaways

  • Blake Lively is not pregnant, but the news of her pregnancy is trending due to her past interview.
  • A 2016 interview resurfaced showing the actress’ alleged “bullying” behavior towards a reporter, sparking criticism on social media.
  • Similarly, Lively has faced backlash for her marketing approach to the domestic violence film “It Ends With Us,” which many deemed inappropriate and insensitive.

Blake Lively’s pregnancy is trending on the internet, and many fans are flocking to social media to find out whether she is pregnant with her fifth child.

Nonetheless, the search for her pregnancy comes in after celebrity reporter Kjersti Flaa posted an interview with Blake and her “Cafe Society” co-star, Parker Posey, in 2016.

The interview reportedly made Flaa want to quit her job, as it was, according to her, the most uncomfortable interview situation she had ever experienced.

At the start of the 4 mins 17 secs sit-down interview, Kjersti congratulated Blake on her pregnancy (her second child, Inez, was born in September 2016).

She said, “First of all, Congrats on your little bump,” to which Blake replied, “Congrats on your little bump,” pointing out to her stomach and indicating she was “fat.”

Then, discussing the movie’s visual elements, Kjersti asks if they “love wearing those kind of clothes that you,” to which Lively replies, “Everyone wants to talk about the clothes, but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes.”

After that, the two actresses started conversing with themselves, ignoring the interviewer and visually making her uncomfortable.

Viewers have sided with the reporter and have called Blake out.

One user commented,

her saying that no one would ask the men the clothes question and trying to act like a good feminist while she’s in a woody allen movie. i have to laugh

The next followed,

She and her husband talk about their kids all the time and you can’t congratulate her on her pregnancy? That was such weird and uncalled for behavior, Im sorry you had to sit through that. You kept your composure so well.

Another viewer said,

They were so rude it was hard to watch. Well done you for not joining their bad behaviour. Your interviews are awesome. Sorry you got the bullies back in the bus

Terrible Marketing Choice

Meanwhile, during the promotion of her sensitive movie about domestic violence, It Ends With Us,” Lively used the marketing tactics of a rom-com that doesn’t really prioritize the message.

The novel’s fans have called it “tone-deaf” and “shallow.” In addition, considering the interview video, netizens are also calling out her hypocrisy.

On her Instagram, one person said,

I had no idea the film was serious and not a rom com —- what a disrespect and failure of marketing and PR.

Another followed up,

I loved you but I’m so disappointed that you were casted for the film. You did no justice for women going through DV at all in your interviews. It’s like you completely did not understand the point of the movie. Such a pity that you were casted.

The third one added,

Great marketing tactic … wrong movie. Read the room. You have a real chance to address issues affecting so many when it comes to DV.

In Case You Didn’t Know

  • There was a creative struggle between Blake Lively and actor and director Justin Baldoni during the production of the movie It Ends With Us.
  • Regardless, fans are supporting actor and director Justin Baldoni’s efforts to raise awareness about such a raw and important topic.
