Under the hype surrounding her movie It Ends with Us, Blake Lively has once again found herself in deep water. If the behind-the-scenes feud with Justin Baldoni was not enough, award-winning reporter Kjersti Flaa detailed her terrible interaction with the actress.
Further, as tensions between Lively and Baldoni on set drama escalate, Flaa’s account promises to shed new light on the actress’ public image and her supposed mean girl behavior on set.
Reporter Kjersti Flaa Comments on Blake Lively’s Feud With Justin Baldoni
In the cinematic world, nothing goes unnoticed. Finding herself on this side of the bandwagon is Blake Lively, whose past interview with reporter Kjersti Flaa is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Flaa posted the 2016 interview with Lively on her YouTube, in which the actress was promoting her movie Café Society at the time, alongside co-star Parker Posey.
But unbeknownst to Flaa, her timing of posting the said video clip was ironic given the current drama surrounding the actress. The past interview was taped shortly after Lively had announced her second pregnancy with Ryan Reynolds. Being aware of the same, Flaa began the interview by congratulating the actress on her “little bump,” but Lively’s sarcastic response, “Congrats on your little bump,” set a tense tone.
To ease up the awkward tension, Posey humorously showcased her own “bump.” But Lively, continued with comments about the actor’s “lovely lady lumps,” leaving the reporter awkwardly waiting to start the interview. Flaa later shared the footage of the interview on YouTube titled The Blake Lively Interview That Made Me Want To Quit My Job, further describing it as her most uncomfortable interview experience.
The interview quickly went viral, with people equating this with her current feud with Baldoni. On this, Flaa made another video (via TMZ) to make it clear that she wasn’t aware of the actress’ current rife with Baldoni. But after she learned more about the situation on set, Flaa added, “She wasn’t the easiest person to work with.”
Further, Flaa added that she understood how difficult the actress must have been on set, based on her interview interaction.
Justin Baldoni Enlists Crisis PR Expert Over Alleged Rift With Blake Lively
The upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestseller, It Ends With Us, is facing mounting controversy involving its director, Justin Baldoni. Amidst the release, a social media frenzy has erupted, driven by rumors of friction between Baldoni, co-star Blake Lively, and the production team.
The situation intensified with the news that Baldoni has enlisted seasoned crisis PR expert Melissa Nathan, known for managing high-profile celebrities like Johnny Depp during his trial with Amber Heard. Further, his move indicates that the behind-the-scenes issues may be more intricate than initially thought.
Fans have noticed Baldoni’s noticeable absence from recent promotional events and his lack of social media interaction with the cast, fueling speculation about a possible rift. Additionally, reports suggest creative disagreements during post-production, with Lively reportedly requesting a separate cut of the film.
However, despite this, in recent promotional efforts and interviews, Baldoni has openly praised Lively’s creative input into the film. He has also emphasized his approach to the project, explaining that he stepped back at times to allow the female perspective to lead, given the film’s focus on domestic violence and its narrative from a woman’s viewpoint.
