Of course not. Blake was supposed to play the game. She’s being paid lot of money to do that. She didn’t. This interview didn’t get out earlier because the movie totally flopped.

You are an actor. Act polite. If you want to play feminist than you need to wait for a bad question. She didn’t get one she got appropriate questions and she mishandled them.

I just saw a clip of Benedict Cumberbun or whatever his name is and Kiera knightley do an interview and the male interviewer stated by telling Kiera (who looked gorgeous) that she “looked worn out.”

Benedict was clearly shocked and said did you just tell this beautiful woman she looks worn out? and Kiera goes “yea?!! F**k you!”

Kiera was rude but it’s being celebrated because she stood up for herself and clapped back at a rude question. She acted appropriately.

Blake did not.

Blake comes off as the pretty, popular woman and her sycophant friend ganging up on another woman for sport. The interviewer made a *minor* faux pas by saying "bump" instead of just "congrats on the baby." The interviewer is also a non-native English speaker and a woman, so deserves the benefit of the doubt regarding what is, at worst, a slightly more invasive comment.

If the reporter is truly infertile as she claims; she should know commenting on a pregnant woman’s body is inappropriate. Full stop. And to harbor resentment 8 years later? Yeah, no.

Sure, it's not appropriate. The interviewer is Finnish and was likely repeating a phrase she'd heard other English-speakers use and did not know it could be considered inappropriate.

The resentment she harbors is for Lively treating her like garbage for the rest of the interview. The interviewer made a faux pas. Lively went for blood. I totally get why the experience stick with her.

I am a native English speaker and took the interviewer as meaning nothing more than "congrats on your pregnancy, which you publicly announced." The response was frankly shocking. And so instant, too.

You’re leaving out the key detail of “hey you look a little fat with that baby bump”. Nobody likes that pointed out especially by a stranger. Celebs are often obsessed with their bodies and their careers depend on them. Blake might have been feeling a certain way about that. The interviewer was tactless and clueless.

Fat?!

Have you ever been pregnant? Not everyone is thrilled with all the changes to their body. It’s not a constant awesome glow. Get real.

Oh for gd's sake. How many times has she been pregnant now? It's not exactly a secret that your tummy grows while you're making a baby. She should be used to it by now - and also be normal enough to know this person was just congratulating her about a pregnancy she'd been public about, not saying "you're a fat cow you fat cow."

I wasn't in the room. Maybe before the camera started rolling the interview did say "you're a fat cow" but I doubt it.

It is literally Blake Lively's job to get on camera and sell the movie she's in. Not her job to get on camera and turn into a weirdo who's calling an interviewer fat because the interviewer congratulated her on a pregnancy. This was insane.

It is literally the journalist’s job to conduct herself in a professional manner. How do you think it’s going to go when you comment on a pregnant actress’s body?

What is insane is clout chasing for the interview 8 years later.

Jesus, she did not "comment on a pregnant actress's body" - she congratulated her on her pregnancy!

I don't know how people with your mindset get through a normal day. Grow up.

Commenting on someone’s pregnant body and growing stomach is actually the definition of commenting on someone’s body. Are you slow?

Np. You're an overly sensitive snowflake and should grow up. The interviewer was attempting to congratulate Blake. The way Blake acted was complete mean, spoiled brat.

In what world is commenting on someone’s changing body appropriate?

Then she should have never made a big deal about her pregnancy or asked reporter's not to comment on it. She is a mean brat.

No. You’re wrong. It is never okay to make derogatory comments towards someone else’s body.

Another disingenuous deceitful comment from the Blake camp. No one made derogatory comments towards Blake's body. No one.

I actually don’t think Kristen Stewart was saving her as much as this woman thinks she did. To me, It highlights how stupid her comment actually was. We need to stop focusing on women’s bodies and pretending that it’s some kindness.

Journalists (or whatever this woman wants to call herself) are there to do a job, which is talk to other people about their job. No woman who is working should be forced to reduce herself to chattering about her reproductive system instead of the actual WORK they are there to discuss.

You are vile. The fact that Lively's media machine now insults this reporters qualifications just because she congratulated Lively on her pregnancy is disgusting. Saying that Lively was forced to reduce herself to chattering about her reproductive system is dishonest and manipulative. This line of defense only makes her look even more like a spoiled, self centered snowflake and attention addict.

The responses here from her media team really make me dislike her. This would have blown over had we all not realized this woman goes for people's jobs over trivial issues. Lively is a small, bitter person which none of us understand because she seems to have everything.

Make it make sense.

It's just exactly the sort of thing a narcissist would do, right? Make other people feel crazy by putting them in this impossible situation of demanding they pay attention to, and remark on, every thing you do - while at the same time, being totally volatile and unpredictable about what will set you off.

Imagine pregnant women with raging hormones being unpredictable. Who knew?

Do you really want to go in that direction? That's the line of argument used to say that women shouldn't hold positions of power.

And even if that is the reason, Blake Lively could have apologized - which (to the best of my knowledge) she has not done.

I am a HS teacher who taught from 3 months pregnant until a week before I gave birth. You don’t think the students I taught said nasty things ever? I held my tongue and controlled my ‘raging hormones’. Because I’m an effing adult.

Right but we give leeway to people all the time. Parent died? Sick kid? Divorce? Cancer? Illness? Surgery? We do it alll the time. Women don’t need to pretend to be superhuman while pregnant lest they be considered weak and ineffectual or unqualified because people can’t handle it.

If she'd apologized later, and said she had this outburst because she was exhausted from pregnancy, we'd be having a totally different conversation.

Did the interviewer apologize for her part? If someone crawled out of the woodwork 8 years later with this petty gripe, I’m not sure I’d bother apologizing either. Move on.

The interviewer has nothing to apologize for. I thank her for letting us know how nasty and vapid that woman is.

So funny that you, the paid media consultant, is telling those of us who live and post here to move on. Step off.

Lol seems like the anti-Blake contingent is working overtime creating as many threads they can posting obsessively over every aspect of her life that irritates them. Including her mole. What’s next? I’m sure you’re scouring the internet looking for something to be outraged over. Who pays you to do this?

As to her opinions on sexism, fashion, rude behavior, and Woody Allen films, I think the obvious explanation is that Blake Lively is simply unintelligent.

NP. This is the comment I was looking for and someone beat me to it. She's not an intelligent person and she's done,said,and showed plenty with this movie for any reasonable to come to this conclusion.

She is clearly dumb as a box of rocks and a mean girl. It also makes me think less of her buddy Taylor.

Bump is irrelevant… because you said so? Nope. Doesn’t work that way. I’m more worried about the interviewer who seems like her life has been derailed over one bad interview this long ago than Blake. Has she gotten help to get over this tragedy?

You can’t have it both ways. If Blake is so taken aback when someone mentions her bump that she gives such an outrageously mean and rude interview that her fan base is upset and feels misled about her, she needs to rethink having a career in the spotlight.

Which judging from her reputation lately is going to be forced on her.

Is her fanbase really upset? Or just the usual people who salivate at the downfall of people they get tired of? Everyone likes a good comeuppance, but i doubt it’s coming from her fans.

Does Blake Lively have a fan base? Preserve failed and her new drink and hair care lines probably will too. I find Ryan quite charming but Blake is forgettable.

The fan base they want is the same group who would have watched "Gossip Girl." I think that would be women in the 35-40 year range. I question whether TV actors have a loyal audience years after their hit shows. Most fans move on after a show ends.

Funny, but doesn’t strike me as a person who’s that uncomfortable over a “little bump” mark.

This. I used to like Ryan and initally enjoyed their social media banter. It was often kind of crude. It's so overplayed now. It's clear they are attention whores. Are they desperate to make more money so they can fund their own films in the future because because they know their careers will be limited in a few years when they hit that age that no one will find them interesting. Neither is a good enough actor to sustain much work in the future.
