Blake Lively is once again under intense scrutiny as yet another “hard to watch” interview resurfaces on social media, fueling ongoing drama surrounding her latest movie, It Ends With Us. On August 8th, a previously overlooked interview from 2017 started making waves online, just a day after Lively’s 2016 interview with journalist Kjersti Flaa drew harsh criticism.
In the 2017 interview, Lively asked the interviewer a pointed question: “Did you even watch the movie?” Her tone and demeanor during this exchange have sparked a flurry of reactions on TikTok, with many users calling it “rude” and “unprofessional.” The conversation took a tense turn when the reporter inquired if Lively felt “free to try everything” in her acting career. She appeared visibly annoyed, rolling her eyes and interrupting with a sarcastic laugh, “What does that mean?”

The reporter, taken aback, tried to clarify by referencing a previous part of their conversation. He mentioned her reluctance to sing in the movie, to which Lively retorted by threatening to give him a pop quiz, making the situation even more uncomfortable. This moment has since gone viral, with viewers labeling it as yet another instance of Lively’s “hard to watch” interviews.
This video comes at a time when Lively is already facing backlash related to her role in It Ends With Us. The drama surrounding the film has been escalating, particularly after reports surfaced about tension between Lively and her co-star, Justin Baldoni. According to insiders, Lively allegedly felt “uncomfortable” and “fat-shamed” by Baldoni after giving birth to her fourth child. The tension between the two has been noticeable, as they reportedly avoided interacting with each other at the movie’s New York City premiere on August 6th.
Fans and critics alike have taken to social media to voice their opinions. Some users have expressed disappointment in Lively’s behavior during her interviews, describing her as “triggered” and “defensive.” Others have dismissed the criticism, suggesting that it’s an overreaction and that her comments have been blown out of proportion.

Adding fuel to the fire, Lively has also been criticized for promoting her cocktail brand and haircare line during the press tour for It Ends With Us. Given the film’s serious themes of domestic violence, many have found it inappropriate that Lively is focusing on her business ventures instead of the movie’s message. In response to the backlash, Lively subtly addressed the issue by posting resources related to domestic violence on her Instagram Story, a move that some saw as an attempt to deflect criticism.

Despite the growing controversy, Lively’s representative has yet to comment on the situation. Meanwhile, Baldoni has remained silent on the matter as well. However, reports indicate that Baldoni has hired a crisis PR manager to handle the fallout from the ongoing drama.
The resurfacing of these old interviews has reignited discussions about Lively’s public persona and her ability to handle press interactions. Some fans are now questioning whether her on-screen charm translates well in real-life situations, while others defend her, arguing that everyone has off days and that these moments shouldn’t define her career.
As the situation continues to unfold, Lively’s actions and responses will likely be under close scrutiny, with many wondering how she will navigate this rough patch in her career. The drama surrounding It Ends With Us shows no signs of slowing down, and with more interviews likely to resurface, Lively may find herself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
