A Journalist Just Shared A 2016 Interview With Blake Lively That Was So “Uncomfortable” It Made Her Want To Quit Her Job, And People Are Horrified

It’s fair to say that the press tour for Blake Lively’s new movie, It Ends With Us, has been controversial, to say the least.

Blake also proudly said that her husband, Ryan Reynolds, wrote one of the key scenes in the film, adding to E! at the New York premiere: “He works on everything I do. I work on everything he does. So his wins, his celebrations are mine and mine are his. He's all over this film.”

And Justin and Blake’s differences didn’t end with the creative process, with people picking up on the hugely contrasting ways that they have approached marketing the movie, which is about domestic violence.

In addition, various promotional interviews with Blake have caused a stir, including a recent clip in which she was asked how fans should approach her if they relate to the movie's domestic violence themes on a “deeply personal level.”

And amid all of this, Norweigian interviewer Kjerti Flaa has uploaded her 2016 interview with Blake that was so “uncomfortable” it made her want to quit her journalism career.

“Did you guys love wearing those kind of clothes?” the interviewer asks, and while Parker begins to answer the question, Blake interrupts to say to her costar: “Everyone wants to talk about the clothes, but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes?”

“Sitting down with Blake Lively and her co star Parker Posey for Cafe Society (2016) is the most uncomfortable interview situation I have ever experienced,” Kjerti wrote in the video’s caption. “Is it not ok to congratulate someone on their pregnancy or to ask another woman about costumes she is wearing in a film?”

In the comments, she added that she met Blake again after this encounter, and while she didn’t give any further details, she did suggest that it wasn’t much better second time around.

And viewers were decidedly on Kjerti’s side, with one popular comment reading: “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.”

“That was so rude and dismissive,” one comment reads. “The way these grown women treated the interviewer was very disrespectful. It felt like I was watching mean high school bullies ignoring another student they were forced to work with. Why wouldn’t Blake face or even address the interviewer?"
