Journalist Kjersti Flaa recently resurfaced her 2016 interview with actress Blake Lively, claiming that the timing was not intentional but motivated by a desire to call out inappropriate behavior. In the interview, Lively made a comment about Flaa being pregnant, which was hurtful as Flaa cannot conceive. The tension between the two continued to escalate as Lively avoided discussing the film’s period costumes.
As the drama surrounding Lively’s new movie, “It Ends With Us,” continues to make headlines, old interviews between Lively and various journalists are resurfacing online. Flaa’s interview with Lively coincidentally gained attention amidst reports of creative differences between Lively and costar Justin Baldoni during the making of the film. Flaa has denied that her decision to repost the old interview has anything to do with Baldoni.
Flaa’s experience interviewing Lively left her feeling uncomfortable and affected her confidence in interviewing others for some time. Despite initially blaming herself for the awkward encounter, Flaa eventually decided to share the video as a way to shed light on inappropriate behavior and call for accountability.
In response to the resurfacing of the interview, Lively and Baldoni have been making headlines for their alleged rift, with sources confirming that they had creative differences during the making of the film. The drama behind the scenes has led to reports of the actors no longer speaking to each other. The reemergence of the 2016 interview has opened up discussions about the treatment of journalists during interviews with celebrities and the power dynamics at play.
