Norwegian journalist Kjersti Flaa recently shared her experience of a difficult interview with Blake Lively in 2016, but she also took the opportunity to praise Kristen Stewart for her kindness during the same press event. Flaa, who posted a video on August 19, described her interview with Lively as "horrific" and revealed that it made her question her career. However, Stewart, whom she interviewed immediately after Lively, turned the day around for her.

Flaa described Stewart as "the most wonderful, wonderful person to interview," emphasizing how the actress's kindness helped her regain her confidence after the uncomfortable experience with Lively. Stewart's supportive demeanor was a stark contrast to what Flaa described as "mean girl energy" from Lively.

The journalist explained that she had waited eight years to share the interview, as it took her a long time to process the experience. The decision to post the video was prompted by a conversation with another reporter who had a similar experience. Flaa emphasized that her decision was unrelated to the current controversies surrounding Lively and instead focused on the need to call out inappropriate behavior in Hollywood.

In response to the viral clip, Flaa has started selling anti-bullying merchandise, referencing an awkward moment from the Lively interview, but her focus remains on the positive impact Stewart had on her during that challenging day.
