Journalist Kjersti Flaa recently criticized Blake Lively over a 2016 interview that she described as a "nightmare," sharing that the uncomfortable interaction made her "want to quit" her job. Flaa shared a clip of the interview with Lively and her "Café Society" co-star Parker Posey on social media, where the awkward exchange has drawn renewed attention.]

In the interview, Flaa congratulated Lively on her "little bump" following the actress's pregnancy announcement. Lively, known for her role in "Gossip Girl," responded sarcastically, "Congrats on your little bump," which led to an uncomfortable laugh between the two. Posey attempted to lighten the mood by jokingly showing off her own "bump."

The tension continued when Flaa complimented the fashion in the Woody Allen film, describing it as "visually amazing." Lively subtly criticized the question, remarking, "Everyone wants to talk about the clothes, but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes." Posey and Lively then discussed their male co-stars' outfits, with Lively concluding, "It's not just the women that have the clothes, but I feel like the women get the conversation."

Social media users condemned Lively's behavior as "weird and uncalled for," praising Flaa for maintaining her composure during the "thoroughly unpleasant" experience.

This resurfaced video comes amid ongoing rumors of tension between Lively and her "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni. Reports suggest that the two actors have been avoiding interviews together, with an insider telling Page Six that Baldoni made Lively "uncomfortable" on set, further fueling speculation of a feud.
