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.

One could say the lady bringing this up from many years ago needs to grow up. Blake has been living in her head rent free all these years. She should seek help.

Maybe she shouldn't use phrases if she doesn't understand the impact of them. Can I start using slurs in the workplace and telling people that it's OK because I don't realize they are inappropriate?

The reporter is coming off just as badly as Blake is.

Comparing what she said to using slirs on the workplace is insane. Blake can take the comment anyway she wants to but her snapping back was completely wrong. She is a nasty mean girl and should've apologized instead.

She can snap back at a stupid insensitive comment. The reporter is not some untouchable here.

Well, and now it's gotten her this round of terrible press. So she CAN do whatever she wants - but most normal people aren't on Blake Lively's side here. Will it matter? I don't know. It could for sure.

It's not like she won't be able to get projects in the future but her reputation is most certainly stained.

She was lucky to get this project in the first place. She’s a terrible actress.

It’s never about talent but connections. She’s not hurting in that department.

True. Wasn’t she one of Harvey’s girls?

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

I don't think she needs help. She remembered Blake being a jerk and used this movie to bring it up in the news. Blake thought she was trashing one of the "little people" and had fun doing it; now Blake has a whole news cycle about what a jerk she is. It is a good reminder of not stepping on people because you never know when you'll see them again.

Some of you may not remember how common and trendy talking about "baby bumps" was for a while. It was really stupid. So although we know the interviewer shouldn't have said anything about Blake Lively's body, she was likely trying to find a friendly opening to the conversation and misjudged. Blake's reaction was angry and mean, which is her right, but I'm not applauding it.

Also, people are trying to act like this woman called Lively fat or something. “Congrats on your little bump” means congrats on your baby. Normal people know this.

Cute. But normal people also know commenting on someone’s size during pregnancy is a no-no. One would think an interviewer would actually know this.

Are you stupid? The baby is not that big. It extra fluid, larger uterus, bloating, organs out of place, etc. Just stop talking you’re totally clueless.

How dishonest of you to imply in a sideways manner that what the interviewer said was a slur. You people who think there is something wrong with someone congratulating you on a baby bump are snowflakes and idiots who live to have a reason to be offended. It's very attention seeking.

Now you know. Don’t comment on “the bump” or you will get the wrath of a pregnant lady who may not appreciate it.

These pro Blake trolls are deceptive. They know what you are saying but have to spin, spin, spin.

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.

Maybe she shouldn't use phrases if she doesn't understand the impact of them. Can I start using slurs in the workplace and telling people that it's OK because I don't realize they are inappropriate?

The reporter is coming off just as badly as Blake is.

Comparing what she said to using slirs on the workplace is insane. Blake can take the comment anyway she wants to but her snapping back was completely wrong. She is a nasty mean girl and should've apologized instead.

She can snap back at a stupid insensitive comment. The reporter is not some untouchable here.

Well, and now it's gotten her this round of terrible press. So she CAN do whatever she wants - but most normal people aren't on Blake Lively's side here. Will it matter? I don't know. It could for sure.

It's not like she won't be able to get projects in the future but her reputation is most certainly stained.

She was lucky to get this project in the first place. She’s a terrible actress.

The truth.

Also I think Parker Posey was annoyed with *Blake* in that interview, not the reporter. Posey tries to joke to break the tension and repeatedly tries to steer the conversation back to the actual interview. I think the eye roll at the end was as much for Blake as the reporter-- just annoyance with the situation.
