Blake Lively is continuing to face online backlash over her alleged ‘mean girl’ behavior as yet another ‘hard to watch’ interview has resurfaced.
Clips of Lively seemingly getting ‘triggered’ by a reporter’s questions during an October 2017 interview with DP/30 have been making the rounds on TikTok.
At the time, she was promoting her thriller film All I See Is You — a role that was a clear diversion from her Gossip Girl legacy.
Things between Lively and the interviewer seemed to get tense when he asked her to share what types of roles she hopes to take on ‘in the next five years.’
‘Do you feel free to try everything?’ the reporter asked.
Lively — who called her Gossip Girl castmates ‘monkeys’ in an unearthed interview — looked taken aback by the question and, after appearing to roll her eyes, replied: ‘What does that mean?’

Stumbling over his words, the reporter clarified that he was asking if she would be willing to step out of her comfort zone by doing something new onscreen.
‘I mean, apparently, you’re not gonna sing if you [don’t] think you could sing,’ he quipped.
Lively quickly reminded the reporter that she ‘does sing’ in All I See Is You.
Looking disappointed, she then sarcastically asked the reporter he ‘saw the movie’ before agreeing to interview her.
‘I did see the movie,’ he insisted.
Lively then shot a look to someone offscreen before smirking and telling the reporter: ‘We’re gonna give you a pop quiz at the end [of this interview].’
‘There can be a pop quiz of every minute of it,’ he replied with a nervous laugh.
In another part of the nearly 40-minute interview, Lively can seen exhibiting closed off body language as she sits with her arms crossed while speaking at length about being a ‘shy person.’
She claimed to have ‘lived’ on film sets growing up and that the acting classes she took ‘[her] whole life’ helped her break out of her shell.
Lively spoke about learning ‘improvisation’ during her years of acting classes and how it’s something she ‘still [uses] in my daily life.’
As an example, she bizarrely described her at-home banter with husband Ryan Reynolds as ‘improvisation.’

Fans of Lively accused the Gossip Girl star of being ‘so ready to be triggered’ when she’s asked a question
Even seven years ago, many fans in the comments section on the original DP/30 clip speculated that Lively was in a ‘bad mood’ that day and seemed ‘defensive’ while speaking to the reporter.
Meanwhile, others saw Lively’s answers as ‘honest’ and ‘down to earth.’
The conversation was revived on TikTok this week when TikTok user @c**tychanel shared ‘rude’ clips from the interview with their followers.
Fans of Lively accused the Gossip Girl star of being ‘so ready to be triggered’ when she’s asked a question.
Some felt that the criticism of Lively’s behavior was ‘hateful’ and ‘forced.’
Was Blake Lively rude to the reporter?
‘Reaching! This hatred is so forced,’ one person wrote.
Another said that they ‘didn’t see any rudeness’ coming from Lively during her back-and-forth with the reporter.
The latest viral Lively interview clip comes after award-winning journalist, Kjersti Flaa, admitted that she nearly quit her job after an excruciating interview with the actress back in 2016.
And Lively and Flaa had an ‘uncomfortable’ reunion just two years later, as revealed by a resurfaced clip.
For their interview, Lively was joined by her A Simple Favor costar, Anna Kendrick, who she was rumored to be feuding with, at the time.
While promoting their 2018 thriller, things got off to a rocky start as Lively kicked off their conversation by sarcastically warning Flaa that she just walked into ‘an entire therapy session.’
‘We’ve saged the room,’ Lively teased, after Kendrick tensely muttered they can ‘drop’ whatever they were talking about before cameras began rolling.

Kendrick, then says ‘sorry’ for something, as Lively begins to laugh and picks up a pastry to break the ice.
‘We’re gonna eat some chocolate croissants,’ the mother-of-four said as Flaa laughed.
Flaa begins the interview by remarking on how different their characters are in A Simple Favor as she tells Lively her character seems like ‘the most confident woman in the world’ while Kendrick’s is ‘very insecure.’
‘In real life, it’s the other way around,’ Kendrick joked. ‘I constantly have to call Blake and be like, “It’s okay, you’re good at giving interviews. I promise people like you and respect you.’
Kendrick then quipped her pep talks were the ‘reason’ Lively got out of bed in the morning.
‘Anna is just an egomaniac, as you can see,’ Lively said with a deadpan voice.
In another attempt to get a sincere answer to her question, Flaa asked if they women were good at giving themselves compliments.
This caused Lively to perk up a bit as she said it felt ‘good’ when Kendrick praises her.
The mother-of-four proceeded to admit that she does struggle with confidence and previously judged her own mother for being ‘so confident.’
‘Which I think is not fair,’ she reflected.
Earlier this week, Flaa uploaded a previous awkward encounter with the It Ends With Us star to YouTube, titled ‘The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job.’
Before ending the interview, Lively mused that they only got people to come to this press junket by bribing them with alcohol and cupcakes.
‘There’s a lot of free stuff on your way out,’ Likely told Flaa. ‘You can take some of the furniture from the hotel room, charge it to Lionsgate!’
As she attempted to ask one last question, Flaa realizes they are ‘out of time.’
Kendrick then makes a ‘Wah-wah’ noise as Lively goes to shake Flaa’s hand, without making eye contact.
After Flaa compliments Lively’s jewelry, the performer compliments hers back.
Lively tells the reporter: ‘I was admiring yours right.’
Earlier this week, Flaa uploaded a previous awkward encounter with the It Ends With Us star to YouTube, titled ‘The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job.’
The video begins with Kjersti congratulating Lively on her pregnancy.
Lively seemed completely unamused with the comment, and replied with a sarcastic quip.
‘First of all, congrats on your little bump,’ Kjersti, who is the founder of Content Now TV, gushed.
‘Congrats on your little bump,’ Blake fired back, as the interviewer giggled nervously.
‘What about my bump?’ Parker joined in, standing up to show her butt to the camera.
Kjersti, who appeared thrown off by Blake’s response, then sat their awkwardly as the two ladies joked about their various ‘bumps’ together.
And things only got worse when Kjersti asked the women her first question.
Since the movie took place in the 1930s, Kjersti wondered if they enjoyed wearing old-school clothes in the movie.
But Blake didn’t like the query, and as Parker started to answer, she interjected, ‘Everyone wants to talk about the clothes but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes.’
‘I would,’ Kjersti promised.
Again, the ladies started talking to one another rather than to Kjersti, as they discussed some of their favorite outfits worn by men in the movie.
The uncomfortable interview went on for another few minutes, before a defeated Kjersti wrapped it up.
After the 2016 interview spread like wildfire online, a source told People that the tense exchange was sparked by the reporter’s ‘rude statement’ to Lively; seen in 2019 while pregnant with her third child, Betty
Lively has been married to fellow actor Ryan Reynolds since 2012
‘Sitting down with Blake Lively and her co star Parker Posey for Cafe Society is the most uncomfortable interview situation I have ever experienced,’ she wrote in the caption.
‘Is it not OK to congratulate someone on their pregnancy or to ask another woman about costumes she is wearing in a film?’
After the resurfaced interview quickly went viral, it sparked fierce backlash against Lively, whose rumored feud with Justin Baldoni has been at the center of headlines for the past week.
After the 2016 interview spread like wildfire online, a source told People that the tense exchange was sparked by the reporter’s ‘rude statement’ to Lively.
The insider noted: ‘It’s truly such a rude statement. She is pregnant with a child. If you feel the need to acknowledge that she’s pregnant, at least do it respectfully.’
At the time, Lively was pregnant with her second child, Inez, now seven.
She and her husband also share daughters James, nine, and Betty, four, as well as their baby son Olin.
