If all her friends are unbearable then what does she have in common with them if not also sharing their rudeness and arrogance? 

Theyre corrupting her. Taylor is a saint  She only loves to bake and spend time with the cats
 i hope taylor is able to be free of them. She's a people pleaser. All her Bad friends are ruining her innocence

I think Blake was mostly offended because she was only two months pregnant at the time and her bump was smaller than what most non-pregnant woman her age look like in the US.  Blake's weight has fluctuated a lot over the years, so yes I do think it should be a rule of thumb to not comment on a pregnant woman's body unless they bring it up first or if it's very obvious. 

 

She then killed the interview by following up with a question about costumes... yes I know it's a period piece but the 1-2 punch of commenting on Blake's stomach and then clothes is just bad interview skills, especially coming from a female interviewer.

It was July and she had a baby in August, so her baby was born at 5/6 months? Uhhhh

Someone in the comments said it was two months?  Maybe you're right, but my point about people opening interviews with conversations about her baby bump and then immediately following up with a question about costumes is still ****ing annoying if she's just trying to promote a film.

 its not like they could ask Blake about metaphysics, this is so dramatic.

 

She played a fashionable character in a Period piece wearing clothing that's been out of style for eons, so a question like that is perfectly related to the movie. The baby bump comment might've been unwarranted but Blake just chose to be harsh and rude. Its just as much about her response than the question at that point.

 

I think the other aspect is how she and the other actress literally just shut the interviewer out and roll their eyes at them. They know how to act in a press junket.

I must be missing something because this is the most normal movie PR interview ever. I guess the internet decided to start a hate train on Blake for no reason, they'll have a new target soon enough. 
 

It's funny because "only the women are asked about dresses" is such a standard and harmless quip for female actresses to make in interviews, and most of them end up in "Girlboss Anne Hathaway/Scarlett Johannsen SCHOOLS misogynistic interviewer" compilations. The interviewer asked like 3-4 questions which seems totally fine for a 5 minute interview with two guests. You can clearly see Blake looking at the interviewer while she asks the questions, and then looking at her costar while they respond to the questions together in conversation. That is just how normal human beings behave.

The hate she's getting is well deserved. Skirting around a topic so serious as DV is gross. 

 

Btw to the people saying folks are digging things up... the interviewer posted this THEMSELVES as vindication for their mistreatment. Goes to show Blake has been awful for a long time

folks on here love to be contrarian over perceived "witch hunts" on the internet when the reality is just awful people finally having karma catch up to them.

 

 

That really sucks and I wish them the best but if you choose to see a movie without watching the trailer (which makes it pretty clear the plot is about DV/an abusive relationship) or fail to look up the synopsis of the movie or novel (the latter of which is super popular) and then have a negative reaction… that's not at all the fault of Blake Lively's press antics 💀💀 The dichotomy in tone about the movie from the two leads in the promo is weird but being upset over the content of a movie is not the fault of Blake in any way 

[bjorn]

I have always thought Blake Lively and her character in the Simple Favor were not too far off. I bet she's excatly like that in real life towards other women who isn't her closest friends.

[bjorn]

Oh and not that video trending and having almost 1 million views in 4 days 

[shyboi]

Why do I feel like something must've happened before the interview? There was clearly tension before the thing even started, maybe the interviewer was rude behind the scenes? 

[babycomeround]

Clamoring about misogyny while promoting a Woody Allen film 

 

People do have it out for her though at the moment however.

[truthteller]

i wont be policing how people should feel as they're entitled to how they felt at that moment when being asked questions about themselves... it was awkward to watch tho

If someone asks you a question you don't bother to look at them when responding? Sir that's not normal and makes you rude af

She can't look at the interviewer and Parker Posey at the same time… she's listening to the question, engaging with the interviewer, and then her and Parker Posey look at each other as they talk, as they are both contributing to answering the question. If she were looking at the interviewer while Parker Posey talks she would also be called rude.

I'm sorry but we need to collectively stop this infantilization/coddling of full grown adults. Blake may be annoying and out of touch but an adult watching a movie based on a notoriously bad book about domestic violence and then being 'triggered' is not her fault because she simultaneously is launching a hair care line.

[Red Velvet]

That interviewer keeping this interview in a vault for 5 years waiting for the day Blake had a hit movie to release.

 

You have to respect the revenge plan

[Kevin2803]

It's funny how she gets offended because of a question about clothes but now seems to not want to talk about anything else while promoting a movie about domestic violence. 

 

Anyway, i think there were worse celebrity interviews and if you want to work in this industry you have to deal with not everyone being nice.
