Blake Lively is once again facing backlash amid ongoing rumors of a feud with her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni.
In a 2014 interview with Extra’s AJ Calloway, the “Gossip Girl” actress made a joke about pregnant women “lying” about their symptoms and cravings. A clip from this red carpet moment has reemerged on TikTok, leading fans to criticize the “pampered” actress.
Calloway started the interview by highlighting Lively’s baby bump and asking, “How’s it going? My wife is seven months right now, so I know what it’s all like, the feet rubbing.”
Lively — who was expecting her first child, James, now 9, at the time — humorously responded that it seemed like his wife was “taking advantage” of him, as reported by Page Six.
After viewing the video, many TikTok users suggested that Lively’s luxurious lifestyle might have alleviated some of her pregnancy discomforts.
One person commented, “I was on my feet working until I had my son. Yes, they hurt, yes my husband rubbed them for me. I’m guessing she lives a pampered life whether pregnant or not so her feet probably aren’t sore.”
Another user added, “She does not speak for this ex pregnant woman and my swollen feet. Also some of us work on our feet 40+ hrs and don’t have the luxury of rest throughout an entire pregnancy.”
On the other hand, one individual defended Lively, stating, “I feel like she has a level of sarcasm and dry humor people don’t get.”
“You can exploit [pregnancy], if you want. You can’t fall for that stuff,” Lively told Calloway while playfully swatting his arm.
The 36-year-old actress — who is also the mother of daughters Inez, 7, and Betty, 4, as well as son Olin — maintained that “pregnant women just lie” to trick their husbands without feeling bad about it.
“It’s the perfect way to get what you want. You want chocolate ice cream at midnight? You have a ‘craving’!”
