Blake Lively is being bashed on TikTok with the resurfacing of another “hard to watch” interview. One day after the actress made headlines for her “nightmare” conversation with journalist Kjersti Flaa in 2016, a sit-down from the following year is going viral.
In the clip, shared Thursday, Lively spoke to DP/30 about her 2017 movie, “All I See Is You.” When the reporter asked whether the “Gossip Girl” alum, 36, felt “free to try everything,” she appeared to roll her eyes. “What does that mean?” she interrupted with a laugh.
The journalist then cited a previous portion of the interview, explaining, “In terms of trying [things]. You apparently are not gonna sing.” Lively clarified, “I did sing in this movie. Did you see the movie? We’re gonna give you a pop quiz at the end of this.” TikTok user @c–tychanel claimed Lively was “terrorizing” the man she was speaking to, labeling the exchange “rude.”
Many followers agreed, with one asking, “Why are celebs like that? Like it’s their job to interview u?? Not cuz they want to.” Another added, “She’s so ready to be triggered before they finish their interview question.” Some social media users, however, called the alleged “rudeness” a “reach” and claimed others were “forcing” the negativity.
Lively’s rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment. The throwback video has emerged as headlines swirl about Lively and her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni’s alleged feud. Page Six reported last week that the director, 40, made Lively feel “uncomfortable” about her postpartum body after welcoming baby No. 4.
The insider pointed out that their fellow cast members did not “talk to” or pose with Baldoni at the movie’s New York City premiere, claiming, “None of the cast enjoyed working with Justin.” While the “Jane the Virgin” alum has not addressed the allegations — including a recent report that Lively felt “fat-shamed” by him — he did hire a crisis PR manager.
Lively, meanwhile, has been slammed on social media for promoting her cocktail brand and haircare line on her press tour despite the film’s serious domestic violence portrayal. The “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” star seemed to subtly respond to the backlash by posting resources on her Instagram Story.
