Entertainment reporter Kjersti Flaa opens up about her “nightmare” interview with Blake Lively, revealing the actress has yet to apologize for the viral 2016 incident.
Bollywood Fever: Entertainment reporter Kjersti Flaa, who nearly “quit” her career after a “nightmare” interview with Blake Lively went viral, claims the actress has yet to apologize for the uncomfortable exchange.
The incident, which occurred in 2016 when Flaa complimented Lively on her “little bump” during an interview, resulted in a sarcastic response from the star, leaving Flaa feeling “nervous” and “blamed” for the awkward moment.
Flaa, now 51, took to her YouTube channel to elaborate on the experience, revealing that it took her a long time to overcome the impact of the interview.
The celebrity journalist explained that the exchange affected her confidence in future interviews and made her question whether she had done something wrong.
The interview, which took place during the press tour for Lively’s film Café Society alongside co-star Parker Posey, resurfaced recently, drawing attention due to its uncomfortable nature.
Flaa stated that she hadn’t been aware of the ongoing controversy surrounding Lively and her new movie, It Ends With Us, when she decided to upload the clip.
Flaa described Lively’s demeanor during the interview as giving off “mean-girl energy,” which left her feeling “left out or bullied.”
Despite the backlash the interview has garnered, Flaa claims that Lively has not reached out to apologize.
“No one came out and apologized,” Flaa said, speculating that Lively’s team likely advised her not to react to the situation publicly.
Flaa expressed frustration that many Hollywood A-listers fail to “own up to their mistakes” out of fear of negative repercussions.
Flaa believes that if Lively had addressed the situation head-on, the outcome might have been different.
She argued that it’s time for celebrities to change how they handle such incidents, suggesting that an apology from Lively could have shifted the narrative.
The incident has sparked widespread support for Flaa, with many reaching out to offer their encouragement.
However, the lack of acknowledgment from Lively continues to be a point of contention for the reporter.
