She also promoted her Alcohol brand
Idk why I can't add a comment to the comment section except for in replies.. But I watched a really good video about all this and apparently Blake and the other lead actor(also the producer) were promoting 2 totally different cuts of the movie.. They disagreed A LOT about the direction of the movie. Blake produced and her cut was more a rom com type style, and his was more what the book is about, and a little more dark.. they did test views with it and his ended up winning and was chosen to be the one shown in theraters, but Blake went into these promo interviews basically promoting her version of it.. So that's why she was a bit more peppy about it I guess..
I cant remember who posted the video I watched but they had a ton of great info about the behind the scenes of what went on with this movie.
Just fyi it’s saying the code doesn’t exist
Jamie are you going to have your shows available for us all to watch after!? Maybe on Patreon?
Code doesn't work 😢
So Justin Baldoni allegedly asked his trainer how much Blake weighed because he has a history of back problems in addition to needing to be able to lift her for a scene.
Maybe, as a fat person, my standards for "fat shaming" are a little steep, but if someone were to lift *me* in the air, I'd want them to know what they're in for.
Valid 🤣 ESPECIALLY if they have a history of back issues
We've already seen her get very triggered and respond inappropriately to anything that could be construed as criticism on her weight. Doesn't matter what actually happened, she's gonna immediately interpret it that way, and lash out.
It was the on-set trainer, AKA the person you go to for that kind of stuff in a movie set. She’s such a moron 🙄 trying to make something out of nothing.
Literally like girl… lifting people is hard
You hit the nail on the head with the word “alleged”. All of these details came from an anonymous source and people are stating them as fact and building a story around it. Unless there is a video interview with BL I missed or JB where they state verbatim that this happened?
I am a chubby person, that being said if my acting partner asked me how much I weigh so that they could protect their back, I will gladly tell them. That's not fat shaming! It's being responsible.
Also, he did that so that the stunt coordinator would know and accordingly make an arrangement where that shit could happen sans any damage. The crew that ran their mouth created issues, and then Plantation Barbie just ran with it.
@@buzzfeedhater dayuuum plantation barbie!! 😭😂 And YES to everything you said.
@@buzzfeedhater Dayuuuum plantation barbie! 😂😭 And YES to everything you said.
@@buzzfeedhaterThis is such an important distinction IMO. Yes Justin Baldoni was asking how much Blake weighed and how HE could train to safely lift her. If his reaction was, for example, expecting Blake to lose weight so he could safely lift her, that would be completely different. Baldoni was putting the onus on himself not her.
Exactly!
I loved that TikTok video where the woman goes “Imagine if other films followed Blake’s approach to promote a movie. Grab all your Gal Pals ladies, because we’ve got a bunch of hot guys on a French Beach and they are all searching for Matt Damon, it’s SAVING PRIVATE RYAN!!!” 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh I loved that tiktok 😂
Brilliant analogy 😂
“Grab your gal pals, wear your hoods and get ready to praise God! Come see the Handmaid’s Tale 🤗”
@@eileensnow6153Jesus 😂😂😂
What makes this worse is that Lively isn't JUST promoting her hair products using this film. She's also promoting a line of drinks, one of which is named after Ryle, the literal abuser in the film. Reeeeeal classy, Blake.
Waaattttt
Her hairs isn’t even envious of having lol it’s thin and normal. I would get it if she has super thick wavy hair that shines. It’s average at best.
And yet she expects people to take her seriously.
@@kdvwusmher hair was gorgeous in the movie. What are you even talking about? She has always been known for beautiful hair. That makes most of her beauty, too.
@@Sarahlee358nah dont be delusional lmao her hair seem pretty dry and unhealthy, what do you mean gorgeous and “been known for beautiful hair”? 💀 you know someone actually known for her beautiful hair? Sabrina Carpenter, just by comparing both’s hair youll know what i mean with Blake having dry and unhealthy hair lol
I'm getting real sick of celebrities getting a free pass for being intolerable just because they're a celebrity.
Our society has normalized celebrities being the biggest pieces of shits, just because they're famous and give us entertainment. They're literally excused from every single aspect of being decent human beings because they're not like the rest of us, they're "special" ..... for no goddamn reason whatsoever.
This. 100%.
When she posted about her diamond-embroidered skirt on Insta I wanted to comment "54% of North Americans can't afford groceries, Blaké"
I agree with this, but I also just choose to ignore all of it rather than criticizing it, because to me being a celebrity seems like it would be comparative to the deepest circle of hell, so most of their crimes feel pretty self-punishing in their own ways.
Regular people get away with being intolerable all the time lol. Have you ever been out in public?
Basically
10:20 No one is asking her to be somber and sad. But she could try being a little sincere and respectful. The director of this movie is a great example of that. He was so genuine and respectful towardsthe topic and shed light on it witbout being a moody dark cloud.
I agree!
@ShrutiP1998 having never read the books, i saw Blake's promo and thought it might be a fun movie. I thought I'd go with my Mom. Thank God I watched Justin's promo and realized there was a lot more of the story.
My Mom is a domestic violence survivor. Her first husband was abusive. When she left, he found her and tried to kill her.
Thank God I did more research and didn't take her to this.
@@lizgreer6888oh dear god. Thankfully you found out. THIS is what people mean when they say the promo and the book itself are harmful. I hope you and your mother are doing fine
@Spidey34_35 thank you. Once I realized what it was really about, I didn't even mention the movie to her.
It looks like the movie is heavy for Blake too. I understand bc I have decided to never see it.
Celebrities: they’re not our friends.
🤔 unless you're a celeb then yeah odds are you aren't friends with rich n famous people.
BUT maybe they aren't all so bad, maybe a few of the thousands of them really care about us, our quality of life, our happiness
@@pumkin610 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They don't care a tiny bit about us, as long as we keep on buying movie tickets, magazines, clothing, perfumes and all their products...
They’re my friends
If you don't know anyone personally, there's a good chance they're not your friend
Also not our enemies
Being mad that a man with back problems who's supposed to be lifting you for wanting to know your weight is the same level of dumb as being mad at your climbing partner for asking the same. It's a question of safety.
Blake was openly using her pregnancy as a talking point around that time, so the interviewer didn't just randomly bring up her bump. Blake was far along too.
Even if she was totally justified, her reaction was an absolute dog's dinner. I would just go "oooh i hate it being described like that, no thankyou." Get it out of your system, make it clear what's annoyed you, then you don't have to be the one simmering and the audience isn't mystified and speculating, and if the interviewer pushes it then the narrative quickly makes them the bad guy. I'm pretty sure any interviewer could handle it, certainly more easily than the slow miserable spitefest that happened instead.
The interviewer is from Norway if I remember heating correctly, so English isn't her first language. She may have used the word "bump" to describe a pregnant belly because she hadn't heard another term before, or that's how her language describes it as well. Just because Blake was offended, doesn't give her and the other actress a right to be so blatantly rude and dismissive of the interviewer. It was made extremely awkward when Blake could have handledbit more professionally.
There are no excuses for blake's reaction to such an innocent comment from another woman and anyone who disagrees is ryan reynold's sock puppet. To think blake assumed it was an attack shows how her brain works and it's pretty sad
As a woman myself I really don’t understand why women get so offended by other women complementing them on their pregnancy journey. You act like the world revolves around you while you’re pregnant so why get offended by someone complimenting you on what you want?
Of course she used her pregnancy as a talking point; she is an incredibly uninteresting person. Wtf else would she have to talk about?
"your little bump" is an extremely common British-ism for pregnancy. It's considered a polite way to say congratulations on your pregnancy.
It's used commonly in the states in a positive way as well. I don't how she got offended by that comment.
Also, in Europe people don't usually get offended when someone compliments them on a wanted pregnancy. In italian we even have various exaggerated slangs to indicate the big belly of a pregnant woman, and are all to be perceived positively.
The journalist is a nordic woman, so it's obvious she doesn't come from the "weirdly offended about anything" yankee culture lol
@@DeadKraken I'm from Denmark so I'm a nordic woman and to me it is a pretty rude thing to say.
My stance is always that you shouldn't comment on someones body
@@Siffer12345 But it's not a comment about her body, it's about her having a baby.
It's very common in the states, too. I agree with Jamie in that Blake must have been feeling self conscious and focused on the literal meaning of bump instead of what it actually means "aka pregnancy".
Minor correction....Parker Posey was NOT great in that interview, she was a mean girl just like Blake....watch the tape as the interviewer leaves. Because Parker rolls her eyes HARD behind her back, it's so rude and mean girl vibes
I think that watching it in real time, her asking “what about my bump” could have been her trying to lighten things up but as the “scene” unfolds (I can’t even call it an interview in good conscience), she’s absolutely being unprofessional. What’s worse is that at the time of the interview, she was already in her mid-40s and had been in the industry significantly longer than BL. It’s so embarrassing
I am so disappointed in Parker Posey. I thought she was different- a nice person, funny, real... but obviously not. She was rolling in the mean girl mud and It was gross. I was embarrassed for her. I sort of expect bad behavior from Blake Liveley- she's just that kind of person. But Parker must have REALLY wanted Blake to like her. Either way, how old are you, twelve?!??!
Parker Posey is the og mean girl.
lol, Parker posey has always had mean girl energy she just tries to pass it off as quirky. 😅
@@janettewong9900 Yeah, it seemed like Parker initially sensed the tension and tried to lighten it with a joke. She also initially tried to answer the interviewer's questions sincerely, but was too easily redirected when Blake insisted on doubling down against the interviewer - insinuating her questions were offensive, or that the interviewer was over-reaching as if they were friends (?). I've seen how good people go against their own character in this kind of dynamic (bully triangulates bystander and bystander complies), usually because of insecurity or fear of reprisal. I don't know what the case was for Parker, but she didn't seem up to the task of going against Blake.
Anna Kendrick, on the other hand, stand back! She is actually funny and smart, and was not shy about holding her own with Blake. It made me smile. Anna also did a film about domestic abuse, which tackled the psychological and isolation tactics that are far more pervasive, always precede physical violence, and psychologists say can be more harmful in the long run for victims' self-worth. Anna promoted the film (Alice, Darling) far more thoughtfully as well, and lent a great deal of insight to the production based on her own real life experience with abuse. The contrast is stunning.
Blake literally can't go 5 mins without talking about her clothes & how she styles herself. Then, had the nerve to get mad she was asked about clothes. Gawd, she's insufferable
Literally!!! It's so obvious that Blake wanted a girlboss-catches-the-interviewer-being-sexist-moment, but not only did the movie take place in the 1920s (and era FAMOUS for its revolutionary fashion), but Blake HERSELF wants to be known as a fashion girly, so obviously the interviewer is going to ask about the film's fashion??
She plasters her personal life all over social media then gets offended when someone congratulates her on her pregnancy. Then she goes off about that question about their COSTUMES in the movie she's there to promote, as if it's the most offensive thing ever, and with It Ends With Us she won't stop talking about the clothes! Her clothes, because she used her own personal wardrobe in the film. Her hypocrisy is just off the charts and people are sick of it. She needs to pull her head out.
Its a joke chill
@@Diana-fg2vyWhat's the punchline?
I feel like that interview was heavily edited, and that there was some kind of beef before the interview started. Questions about women's clothing and bodies have been getting a lot of backlash in recent years. The interviewer should have known that and stayed off those topics.
@@mynameishuman4582 The film, Cafe Society, that Kjersti Flaa was asking about was a period piece set in the 1930s, so it's only natural that questions about costumes will come up. Plus, Blake is ALWAYS talking about clothes...As for the little bump comment, I see that as harmless, but some people seem to be offended by that.
Yeah and seriously wtf are the clothes from that movie?! She looks like a clown, I wouldn’t be out bragging about those being mine. And then getting mad when people “congrats on your clothes”.
How about the fact that she used this film to promote her line of alcohol with a PARTY where there were cocktails named after the abuser in the film ???
She’s tone deaf, rude, entitled and completely out of touch.
Ew 😮 (I mean that about Blake's behavior you mentioned here because it's gross that she is so out of touch)
Who actually cares? You're going to move on from this the moment it's not trending. Or do you plan to start a movement to force people to be nicer?
@@TheSwauzzI mean, you cared enough to comment yourself, so…
😮 That's just gross
Stranger still for her to have an alcohol brand but she doesn’t drink alcohol and has stated that. Odd choice of product to push.
The number of women who are making excuses for her behavior makes me uncomfortable. No one is saying she hasn’t got decent reasons to be annoyed. We’re saying that the way she handles her annoyance is frequently juvenile, hypocritical, and unprofessional. If she feels the slightest social or emotional discomfort, she gets mean.
It’s okay to feel your feelings. Taking them out on people around you because you can’t be bothered to employ adult emotional restraint or set boundaries in a mature way is not okay. Literally everyone except Blake has managed to behave better when treated worse (by her) because that’s what competent adults do.
Exactly, i am shocked by the amount of comments that are defending blake here. Especially her inappropriate interview with the innocent reporter. Literally saw a comment trying to spin it on the reporter, and tried to make it her fault... like nah.
This is exactly how I feel about it.
👏🏻 well put
Exactly.
You get it. ❤
Remember back in 2014 when Bradley Cooper did American Sniper? Imagine if on his press tour, he said, "I wanted to do this movie to show soldiers that they're so much more than their war trauma. Being on a battlefield and having PTSD is only a small portion of their life. It's one event. It doesn't define who you are. I want to empower our service members to do better, be better. Because I'm a crown-straightener. Get it King!!" Can you see it now? Complex PTSD from generational abuse isn't something that you just become aware of and life is peachy. It's a lifetime struggle of diffusing triggers and re-learning what healthy boundaries and relationships look like.
Ooof. 👏 “you and your boys go put on your fatigues and go see it!”
Well said!
You need to post this comment everywhere!!! You win the whole argument with that one comment
@@sabbymccomas I'm trying. It's telling that people treat an issue that mostly affects men with such respect and dignity, while a very similar issue that mostly affects women is cast as a nuisance that needs to be shoved aside so women can continue to "empower" each other. I just wish the whole conversation was less about Blake/Colleen and more about what we don't understand about CPTSD and DV and how we can further the conversation and awareness.
Grab your pal, wear your camouflage 😂 yeah, no she could have done so much better with this promotion such a shame
Just to note: the interview asking about the *COSTUMES* is because she was working for a fashion magazine/article.. it’s literally her job to ask about the clothing in the film 🥴 and I’m sorry I can’t defend Parker in that bc she was also acting like a mean girl completely blocking the interviewer out with Blake.
Right?? Blocking someone out of a conversation like that... it's giving such strong high-school-bully vibes. I've been on the receiving end of that shit, it's awful. Can't imagine what it'd be like to have it happen to me while I'm just doing my friggin' job. 😣 That was painful to watch.
Yes! Also, she didn't ask about the men's costumes because she was talking to WOMEN. Blake tried to make it a sexist question, but the interviewer never said anything about the women's costumes being better than the men's. So bizarre
@@ashleeb8518 Exactly. I yelled "the men aren't there, leave them out of this!" at the screen when I watched the interview.
@@remygirl-mn5kk 😂
Film fans are also interested in many aspects of the business. I am interested in costume and film makeup, including prosthetics and hair ( not beauty makeup unless it is historical)
I would hire a PR person if somebody or a couple who are super famous we’re out to ruin my career because they didn’t agree with my opinion on how the film should have been directed, even though it was my job as the Director to direct. It’s not fat shaming. If you have a medical problem, and you need to know how much someone weighs for your physical safety and the safety of the person that you are supposed to be lifting.
Exactly. I don’t understand why some folks are so weirded out by him hiring a crisis management team. He also invested money in this movie, so probably half the reason he’s hired them is for the movie not to get boycotted and tank in the box office.
Not to forget there's two versions of this movie. The one Ryan's buddy who did Deadpool and wolverine did and the one the director/actor justin did. They showed both versions to see what was preferred. And surpise Justin's won out. But basically blake and Ryan steamrolled this poor guys movie. And then tried to ruin him on top of it. Poor guy
Right! Adding on to this that JB’s whole identity in Hollywood is based on reframing what masculinity is. His book, his podcast, his TedTalk, and this movie are all steeped in rethinking masculinity. When Blake came in with he body shamed me, lingered to long, and was a hot head, he had to go into protection mode.
My thoughts exactly. And he asked her personal trainer, who would be the one other person who would know the answer, rather than Blake herself... So he was being as cautious and sensitive as HE could be, what about the trainer who felt the need to tell Blake??? Very professional 🙄
Agreed! And even at 5"10 and slim, she's not a small woman to lift anyway.
My brother-in-law was an extra on Gossip Girl way back. He was on an elevator with Blake Lively, she was eating an orange and kept throwing pieces of peel on the floor for someone else to clean up. *Forrest Gump voice* And that's all I have to say about that. 😆
Omg 😬 lol
If you asked people involved in that show, she was ALWAYS a mean girl
There's a reason why Leighton and her are not friends.
This is SO oddly specific that I believe it 😅
WOW what a moldy liverwurst move, she needs a healthy dose of social anxiety and empathy for other humans
The DIRECTOR/male lead had the right idea of how to discuss such a serious topic. He was trying to convey the RIGHT message.
I'm sick of the rich pretty people getting a pass. Blake should have apologise to the interviewer. Posy and blake were rude to her and pretty much ignored her
literally lol I have no sympathy for Blake , it's gross to do all this whilst promoting a dv movie
IT HAPPENED 8 YEARS AGO 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly why, she got away with it back then and people still make excuses for her lol @@ichimarutetsu
@@ichimarutetsu Okay? Many things happened in the past that are still widely considered *NOT GOOD.*
If she was an employee at a company treating another employee like this, it would easily become an HR issue for creating a hostile work environment and she would DEFINITELY be disciplined and forced to eat crow. But nope, she's rich, aloof and independent enough to just forget it. I'm glad she's getting dragged.
The PR team is not making her look bad…she done that to herself
Blake and Parker acted like snooty high school cool girls trying to be relevant during the MeToo movement in order to try to score social credit points. Revolting.
I was gonna say Parker didn’t feel like she was trying to help here I feel like, maybe she was at first trying to make things less awkward with her “my bump” comment… but then she just plainly ignored the interviewer with Blake and left her out of their little one on one conversation, making no eye contact….the whole thing just felt like they were ganging up on the interviewer, I’ll re-comment on what every one else has said it felt VERY high school
I didn’t really know who Parker was but she looked like she was on something…
Observe did a great read on this video
Perfect observation and beautifully stated. It was definitely a poor attempt to have her own female empowerment moment, but, like… no one was being rude. The interviewer was being polite and complimentary, so Blake just bullied her to try to get her me-too moment.
Oh let’s leave Parker Posey out of this!- she was trying to keep this as light hearted as possible while maintaining her relationship with her costar, and I saw her steal a couple looks towards Kjersten. PP has been a class act for 35 years
I heard that that interviewer also has knowledge of historical fashion, so her asking about their wardrobe was personally interesting to her.
Her little, “I would” when Blake and Parker start insinuating a man wouldn’t be asked this question makes my heart hurt.
she's also the ceo of the academy of fashion arts and was writing for fashion magazines! plus blake has been cochair of the met gala and promotes herself as a fashion icon
And in other interviews, Blake is gushing about the "florals" and other outfits!! I saw that question as an attempt to get Blake to talk about something she was excited about. Instead, it seemed like Blake just decided to be offended and stick to that mood. I feel so bad for the interviewer.
and she wasn't interviewing them in her first language. Little bump might not have seemed offensive to her
Blake is also really passionate about fashion:) I’m not an interviewer, but I would want to ask questions that would be fun for the guest so that they could talk a lot and they care. 🤷🏻♀️
I think the moment that Blake really lost me was when she promoted her alcohol brand at one of the movie's promo parties, and named one of the drinks on the menu after the abuser in the movie. Girl. This isn't Marvel, what are you doing? It was so tone deaf. Like the haircare line thing I could forgive, if it was just the one time. But she's clearly exploiting this movie (about DOMESTIC VIOLENCE) to promote her business ventures, and that displays a level of insensitivity that I find to be really appalling.
Especially since alcohol fuels so much DV. That's when you're really gonna get it.
Alcohol was so cringe. Hair care was cringe too the only way to not make the hair care not cringe was to say proceeds go to survivors or shelters for DV. Or donating her hair care products to shelters and women who have just left violent situations. She didn't she just wanted to make money.
Hence we got to see her real face here.
Yet some still defend her.
She wanted her Barbie moment so bad and didn't choose the appropriate project for it. WELP.
Agreed I really think she didn’t realize she was the Oppenheimer and Deadpool was the Barbie of the summer.
You gotta look like barbie tho , which margot robbie does . Blake with that body n nose looks like shrek
I’ve heard the film is doing very very well though
not ironic at all that she doesnt get along with margot robbie and margots husband either and it is known she feels margot is her competition
The “conspiracy” that the PR person Justin hired is making Blake look bad is completely ridiculous, because literally everyone is just reacting to the things that come out of Blake’s mouth. They didn’t fabricate Blake being an asshole, she did that all on her own. You don’t need a PR firm for that. The PR firm didn’t force Blake to be a snooty little jerk in multiple interviews.
This right here.
Bring back Rachal McADAMS
I agree!
@@Greatful0374 Omg I just imagined a world where Rachel was attached to the film instead of Blake. Can we go there instead??
theres a reason almost none of her gossip girl costars follow her on social media but do follow each other
I watch Popcorned Planet channel and he interviewed the female interviewer - she did disclose that Blake’s comments were so hurtful because she cannot conceive. I cannot fathom her level of professionalism. I would have collapsed in a heap of tears.
In all honesty, gor it to be an actual mean girl comment; Blake would have to know about her infertility issues. Who knows if she knew that or not. She probably is a bit bitchy, not gonna lie.
The parody promotions others are doing cracked me up so bad. My favorite was "He's making a list and checking it twice! Let's go see Schindler's List!"
lol ok that one killed me
So what? That movie made the actors and producers a lot of money and everywhere people in the cinema's where eating popcorn while looking at emaciated actors on the screen. Lets not be hypocrites about hypocrisie.
@@ouwebrood497 i have read that they actually banned popcorns in showings of Schindler's List , but i think it was because of the noise.
I never read the books and heard mixed reviews. So when the movie came out, I heard Blake's promo and wanted to see the movie with my Mom. The problem?
My Mom is a domestic abuse survivor. When her first husband pushed her down the stairs, breaking a couple of body parts, she decided to leave him. An incredibly dangerous decision because he found her in a parking lot and tried to strangle her. A group of joggers going by stepped in to stop him and actually spoke as witnesses for a restraining order.
Blake's promo made the movie sound like a fun rom com. I almost brought my mom to see a movie that at least would have brought up a lot of bad memories. At worst, I don't want to think about it.
Thank God I saw Justin's promo speaking honestly about it, and I was able to make an educated decision not to take her.
I'm glad you researched it beforehand because seeing the previews I though the same thing. I'm glad now we can look things up now with movies because at 47 I remember seeing movies at the theater or at home that ended up being too cringe and taken by surprise. And even if something may not bother us personal it might to the person with us and abuse has been a part of so many women's lives unfortunately.
Exactly this!!! I am a DA/V survivor and get easily triggered and because of Blakes promo stuff I had NO idea this was about DV! I would have been blindsided in the bloody cinema! It was seeing an interview with Justin talking about how badly the scenes impacted him that I found out! I'm horribly offended by her handling of this! She devalues all victims/survivors.
You're a damn good 'kid' 💕
This!! I didn't realize this either. I'm a DV survivor and my friend was like do you know what that movie is really about?! I had no idea.
What were you watching then? Every ad I saw I knew it was about domestic violence. Some of yall don't listen.
I'm going to be mean for a second, I feel like Blake Lively isn't even that good of an actress.
That’s not being mean at all. It’s the truth.
She's a Nepo baby
The one role I think she did great in was The Age of Adeline. Others were a bit meh.
It’s not mean. It’s true. 😂
You're so right lmao.
I feel like Blake's attempted "witty" "silly" answers are her trying to match Ryan Reynolds's comedic style, and failing miserably.
Important context for the "little bump" comment: from my understanding the interviewer's first language isn't English. Other languages/cultures have different ways of congratulating pregnancy, so while that wasn't my favorite way to congratulate, I can understand she meant well.
Exactly ❤
I think Blake knew that. Why would Blake turn around and say that back to the interviewer???
@@torey4322 because she's a classic Mean Girl.
Yes, I agree that "little bump" comment was unusual. However, her tone and body language wasn't malicious or condescending, which should have indicated to Blake that the journalist meant it in a positive manner.
Is the word "bump" considered rude in America?!😮 in my country, it's very normal to describe a pregnant lady with a bump?😮
I think the whole point of the Blake Lively situation is to call out bad behavior after reviewing the "sum of the parts." Moments can be ignored or forgiven, BUT patterns of bad behavior... That's different. A liiiitle checks and balances doesn't hurt to keep integrity, honor, and respect alive.
Alternatively, people are only seeing a very small portion of her behavior. If you look at all her interviews/social media posts and not just cherry-picked pieces and the bias that people now have towards her, I'd wager she wouldn't be coming off as bad as people are making her out to be. I'm also willing to bet any of us could pick our favorite celebrity and intentionally manufacturer it to make them look like a bad person when, in reality, they're just a normal person who has bad days or isn't always 100% "on" and happens to be famous.
Patterns of behaviour are important to take note of
Dude she fights against child trafficking. If these are the moments of bad behavior that people have had to grasp at straws for and sensationalize then she's more than half decent. Nobody's perfect, everyone makes mistakes. You've never been innappropriateo rude before?
Why is it our job to do this? Why can't people just have a bad day anymore? We don't get to control how someone acts by harassing and feeling outrage. This take is so self-important lmao. Integrity, honor, respect? No one owes you any of that.
@@Haylla2008Nah. People are literally compiling clips over years of bad behavior. Plus, her behavior over the course of promoting this movie has been annoying 😂
As a domestic violence survivor I am grossed out by Blake's hair care line promotion during this film. It is also super obvious from Blake's other actions that she was trying to make this film out to be more of a romcom than about DV. As far as how she treated that interviewer, it was 100% mean girls and not okay. The woman was congratulating her in a very well known way. Even if Blake didn't like it, there was no reason to be mean to her for the rest of the interview. It would have been one thing if she said something about her weight or being fat or something. This was not the case. And I have been pregnant, at no point did my hormones make me "mean girl" someone. This wasn't even one comment or look from Blake, it was an entire passive aggressive hateful interview. I'm glad she's being called out, everyone with bad behavior should be. Silence is how bullies thrive. All that being said...This isn't the biggest issue out there. THERE IS A TON OF MESSED UP STUFF GOING ON IN THE USA AND THE WORLD...RIGHT NOW. I do wish people would get just as impassioned and interested at calling all these issues out. Thanks for the video Jamie, I actually hadn't heard about the scab thing. Boooo
I agree 🤦🏽♀️
Plenty of people defuse a serious, uncomfortable topic with humor. I'm sorry about your situation, but it's unproductive to judge someone else.
The trailer I see pop up here on TH-cam as ads call it a rom-com. Hello?! Blake and CH really pushed for it to be called that and if it wasn’t for the drama, a lot of us wouldn’t realise it was about DV at all
@@TheSwauzzAbsolutely not. The woman used a movie about domestic violence to promote her ALCOHOL brand. More than half of DV happens under the influence of alcohol. It’s so tone deaf, and gross. She should apologize to those of us who are hurt by it.
@@0uchhhh don't bother, she's a diehard Balakey fan attacking anyone daring to criticise her idol🤣
People are not being ridiculous for getting upset at Blake Livelys poor behavior. It’s beyond “weird”, it’s dismissive and belittling to a very tragic reality TOO many women go through; Domestic Violence.
For the record, Kjersti Flaa did, in fact, have issues with fertility and could never get pregnant. She's in her 50s now, so I think that ship has sailed. Just goes to show that you never know what someone is struggling with. Kjersti seems like such a lovely lady and only meant well when congratulating Blake. I mean, come on, she interviews for a living. Her particular choice in wording it as "your bump" was probably only meant to keep the conversation interesting.
Also...I'm wondering how much language factored into her use of the term little bump. She is from Norway, so I'm guessing she isn't a native English speaker.
Dang, no wonder she looked so taken aback with Blake's bump rebuttal
And she is a big fan of Johnny Depp.
@@bryanna4548 Huh? In the U.S women say “baby bump “ or “little bump”. All the time. It’s a friendly phrase. Hardly anyone says “congratulations on your pregnancy “- It’s too formal.
Just FYI - I’m a victim of over 11 years of brutal domestic violence and the damage to my body physically and emotionally is horrendous - not to even mention the damage to my two children. So for me, Blake’s flippant attitude really triggered me. Believe me, the last thing a victim of abuse needs is another mean girls attitude in their life. I can not watch the film as it will be too triggering and unbearable for me, especially after watching Blake be so blaze about the issue. Justin Baldoni has been brilliant and his efforts highlighted the hell that victims of DA endure (including life long PTSD) but Blake just acted as though the topic of DA isn’t important and the topic would be a fun night out with the girls!! That made me sick! For those who don’t know - it’s along the lines of watching a film about Nazi concentration camps then throwing a fun theme party and starvation diet plan launch at the premier!
I love Justin. I feel bad for him having to deal with this and Blake. He always puts a lot of thought and care into what he does.
I hope you are out of that situation. As women we hold many secrets in our body and emotions- a lot of pain, this is a person who is a nepo child making a mockery of that. Don't hold expectations where there should be none. Be well. 🙏
Don't you ever compare the holocaust to a movie about DV. Most of us here are DV survivors. I am. Yet, most of my family was taken out by Nazis. Guns held to my head is nowhere near the atrocity of the holocaust! What is wrong with you? I'm a social worker working with DV victims, many don't survive, and to compare that to the Holocaust would sicken any DV survivor, even you. What a disgusting and conceited comment.
My prayers for you and your children, Emmy Grace. I pray for healing and guidance through what you have endured and freedom as well. Freedom from your past and what you may be facing now. I pray you will seek God if you haven’t already and He will meet you where you are. God says “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” Revelation 3:20
God bless 🙏🏻🤍

Certified Disability Rehabilitation Couselor here. Baldoni needed the weight information to determine if the stunt was plausible independently or if he needed to utilize an accommodation. This is logical for most grown adults of a certain age, but even more cruicial considering his history of back issues. It's a basic safety concern. Nothing we've seen of his character has indicated he would have used this information maliciously against Lively. Although there is a lot of nuance in the details of the circumstance that would influence ant legal determination, there is a plausibility that the consequences of her reaction could potentially count as disability discrimination.
As a currently pregnant woman (for the second time), I think there was no way to take the "little bump" comment as offensive. Given that the pregnancy had already been announced and she was wearing something tight that clearly showed off her bump, it could've even been considered bad taste NOT to mention it. Since the bump was indeed quite small for seven months (that's what I've read was the age) it would've been easy to wear something lose and completely hide it. If someone who is pregnant decides to wear something tight is usually because they want people to notice the bump.
There was another pregnant woman that I met recently at a wedding and she was also wearing something tight but her bump was little enough that it could've been just her belly, and she was annoyed that nobody was telling her anything about it! People weren't sure if she was pregnant or had just gained weight and she was offended that they thought her body would just look like that without a baby inside!!
So I think it was completely normal for the journalists to mention the bump itself, not just "the pregnancy" and she even called it LITTLE which, you know, is the opposite of calling someone fat, and it was true as well, because her bump actually looks quite little for 7 months!!
It IS weird and opportunistic that she decides to post the ideo and talk so much about this now, though, especially given the fact that she seems to have posted something in defence o Johnny Depp before 😮
The way she treated that interviewer was gross. It shows what type of person she is. And parker is just as gross.
Parker is just hanging on to the holywood scene for dear life...
I remember the first time I thought Parker might be a little weird. It was the superman returns behind the scenes clips. Kevin Spacey (ew) and Brandon Routh seemed a little irritated by her. Her attitude on that set was a bit off. So I’m not really surprised by her behavior in that interview.
@@randombrokeperson Observe did a great video and pointed out how awful Posy was really being in this interview. Very much on her high horse looking down.
I was really disappointed in Parker Posey.
In that interview with the baby bumb, i swear she wanted to have a "celebrities owning rude interviewers" moment so bad💀 wth
That’s the exact vibe I got, as well. This would’ve been around the time that many female celebs were putting inappropriate interviewers in their place, and clearly Blake wanted one of those moments herself. The issue? This interviewer was being kind and complimentary, so she just wound up bullying someone way lower on the food chain.
plus blake is well known as a 'fashion girly' and was even cochair for the met gala- she's now talking all about her wardrobe on her new DV movie, even demanded that her 'poor' character' were louboutins
@@pensandnoodles681
Ok,. I completely agree with with you and when you point this out, how can anyone be so blind to what Blake is doing ? Are they really that dense ?
Oh and Jaime, you didn’t add the bit where she was bragging about how much of her own clothing was used in the DV-themed film 😶 You have way more to find on this hot mess, girl ☺️♥️
Haven’t heard anyone mention how absurd it is of Blake to insinuate that asking women about clothes in a WOODY ALLEN movie is not very feminist?
Everyone keeps ignoring that part.
I would not have known this but this just adds to the pile lol. I neither eatch woody or blake movies or shows
Not to mention, how she openly and clearly voiced her support for Woody after the allegations made by Dylan. It’s absolutely grotesque and after that I lost all respect. Like Meryl Streep standing and applauding like a trained seal for Roman Polanski, or the hordes of people who defended and protected Harvey for decades *knowing damn well* what a creep he actually was.
I half suspect that it's deliberate she would have known what people were saying about working with ... him... and she tried to counter-act it.
It was a period piece set in the 1930s, so totally valid question to ask about the wardrobe.
Leo DiCaprio is someone who’s done his fair share of period pieces-he’s been asked a ton about his wardrobe! So, yeah, Blake-they DO ask the men!
Can’t believe you could defend that interview - it was so hard to watch , I feel terrible for that women
It’s giving: “congratulations on your bundle of joy!” “My baby is not a bundle!!!” Ma’am, calm down
😂😂
Also, it's that journalist's second language!
As a survivor of DV, I have lots of thoughts on this; firstly, I prefer to know if a film is about to recreate some of my trauma on screen, so if all I knew was "get your floral and go see it with your girls", id be pissed afterwards. Also, profiting off of other women's suffering doesn't exactly give me humanitarian vibes, nor does the "joke" that she would location share with survivors who may want to personally thank her for her participation in that film. What, Blake is telling everyone that dv survivors should all be regarded with suspicion?? Smh I don't like her behavior at all.
Oh! Was that interviewer trying to tip toe around the words DV? I thought he was talking about just her fans who were interested in the topic
That's how I felt about it also. If I hadn't already known that the book was a 🗑️ romanticization of DV, and all I saw was Blake's flippant promotion I likely would've gone to see it thinking it's a rom com and ended up backsliding into a PTSD nightmare. There are real life consequences for a lot of people and it's not okay to just act like it's a regular movie about a regular romance. On top of that, DV survivors have been speaking out against Colleen Hoover for years for capitalizing on the romanticization of inappropriate themes like DV while never taking steps to raise awareness or support the organizations that work to save our lives... Blake is doing the same thing with her alcohol brand that CoHo did with her nail polish and coloring book and it's not okay. She deserves every bit of this cancellation and then some.
@@jenniealarid1421 He said: Fans who will relate to the movie on a personal level. Yes. He was referring to DV survivors.
I’m sorry for what you’ve experienced and totally understand what you mean about needing a trigger warning about serious topics!
Your opinion (and others who’ve been through it) is the only one that matters. ❤
I think Baldoni needed that PR team because Blake was saying quite a bit of very negative stuff about him, ie that a kiss lingered too long and made her very uncomfortable even though she had assigned herself as the "intimacy coordinator" ie it was her job to make sure that didn't happen. And the rest of her buddies unfriended him on instagram, presumably at her direction. She mean girled the guy, in other words. A LOT.
And then to try boosting sales for her alcohol line by naming the drinks after the characters in the movie was in very poor taste. Mentioning her hair care line incessantly. Making the movie sound like a fun romcom which triggered the hell out of a lot of women once they were in the theater and realized it was actually about DV.
There's more but that's enough.
Wow, this makes me kinda hate her lol
But the “allegations” are all speculation based on an anonymous source. Unless there is a credible video interview where BL articulates these grievances herself and I missed that?
Wait HUH!? She hired HERSELF as the intimacy coordinator!!?
@@kimberleywilliams7802 Just to clarify, there were 2 or 3 intimacy coordinators listed on IMDb for the movie. Also, there were just a few bts videos of Blake physically directing Justin on how to hold her, and etc. When asked in an interview about how she was the intimacy coordinator for some of the scenes, Blake seemed to be caught off guard by the question. She wasn't aware that those videos are circulating on social media.
yes, she was caught and confronted about being her OWN intimacy coordinator in an interview with the cast to the point that she couldn’t deny it! 😅 She even said that she shouldn’t have done that. She was BUSTED!
I really admire that you have so much empathy for people getting backlash and never agree with people getting harassed online but she has a strong consistent pattern of disrespecting people's boundaries all the way back to gossip girl. It's definitely not limited to that one interview from 8 yrs ago or anything related to It Ends With Us. I personally think that people are partly mad at themselves for not having realized that she's always been this way
It's "Ba-la-kay" and "A-Aron" always and forever!
Yo, where Jay-Quall-en at?
De-nice,Principal O'Shac-hennesy,and of course Tim-o-thy😂..loved those 2 clips,wished there was more
Poor A-aron got the most backlash 😅
Forever quoting this as well as Dee-nice, Jay-Quiylen, and “you wanna go to war Ba-lakay?”
💯
Why are so many people saying it was inappropriate to ask her weight when he has to lift her and had an injury… he asked their on set trainer a question that completely matters to their on set work. 😩 back injuries are nothing to play with
I hate how they're calling it 'fat shaming'. No, he doesn't want to re-injure his back. He'd ask the same question if he had to lift up a man.
His question was weird but her response could have been:
“I’m always grateful whenever I learn someone was able to connect with the character I played. It’s heart breaking for this film due to the gravity and seriousness of domestic violence. While it’s a difficult topic, it needs discussed and I hope this movie keeps the conversation active so we can continue working towards solving the issues at hand and supporting the victims.”
It really is not complicated but she does not have tact.
Indeed. Or even "I'd appreciate people would like to chat and have support if they relate to matters shown in the film, but I'd also advise they seek out a professional if needed to ensure they are getting the help they need"
@@x_rhi_x2772 yes! Anything but what she said 🤮
I think the worst thing Blake did was her behind-the-scenes smear campaign of the director to cast him as a misogynist and to get the whole cast to unfollow him, when he was actually, as you say, quite sensitive to the context of DV and wanted to help victims and potential victims. If you've never been smeared like that, you might not know how soul-destroying it can be. It definitely convinced me that she is the villain. And I completely understand why he felt the need to hire a PR person to help him handle that fallout.
Baldoni looking out for his back is totally fine, imo. Dumb. What if he couldnt lift her, hurt his back, dropped her and then uh oh now the movie is on hold until dudes back heals. Shes dumb as hell for taking offense to that.
liiiike, choreographers need to know about any disabilities or injuries to keep both parties safe when it comes to stunts and such. cause he could drop her or hurt both of them
Not to mention, had he not said anything to ensure he could do this lifting scene safely, dropped Blake and caused her an actual serious injury, she'd certainly be angry that he *didn't* take any steps to ensure he could lift her safely.
She was pregnant during filming and I'm sure that was also a reason for him wanting to be extra careful!
I get what you're saying about her pregnant belly, but she WAS 8 months pregnant, and having had, myself, 2 pregnancies (one with twins), if someone said, "...your little bump" at 8 months pregnant, I would've been thrilled to be called little.
I’ve been pregnant 4 whole times. This comment is not offensive in the slightest.
@MoonMusicOwl I think you need to reread as you seem to have picked it up wrong.
Right! How vain does someone have to be to be offended by that. I've always been proud of my pregnant belly.
Right? I loved people commenting on my "little bump" when I was pregnant. As long as they didn't start rubbing it without my permission 😂
Just because you would be happy doesn't mean everyone else would. Idk why because some of yall wouldn't be offended that makes you the arbiter of what's offensive. Blake gets to decide what's offensive for her, not yall. And I wouldn't have been happy at her comment either. Idk if I would've let it go, but if she caught me on a bad day I would've gave her a piece of my mind. You're not entitled to make comments on other people's bodies just because you don't think it's offensive.
she really wanted to have a scarlett johansson moment with the clothes remark lmfao
That's the first thing that I thought of too. It seemed like she was trying so hard to sound like a feminist or something just because she was pissed about the interviewer mentioning her baby bump.
yep. ScarJo probably haunts her...rightfully so.
And you know the funny thing is that Scarlett Jo is her husband’s ex wife 😂
That’s exactly what I thought when I first saw it. Blake was clearly going for one of those “Rude reporter shut down by strong female celebrity” moments, but the interviewer was really lovely and professional, and even kind, so Blake just mean-girled her for no reason.
Its not harassing. We call out bullying and narcissism when we see it.
I hate when people defend celebrities. How is calling out bullying and narcissistic behavior harassment? These celebrities are messy asf and should be hold accountable.
You've never seen someone come under fire for behaving "a certain way" during promotion of a film because of the topic of the film, because no one has been stupid enough to act like their serious abuse drama is a lighthearted romance romp. But don't tell me you don't remember Katherine Heigl getting wrecked when she complained about how stupid and sophomoric Knocked Up was or Robert Patteson taking a big ass L all over the media and internet when he said he hated making Twilight and Stephanie Meyer and her fans were weird.
Exactly what is sheblp9dy on about Blake needs help and is horrible in the promotion
@@Novause I don't understand the question. Punctuation might clarify.
11:16 i’m so glad that you took the time to admit and like take back what you had previously stated, but also left it in for us to see that you had even said it to begin with. Because Justin Baldoni has done such a good job, actually being respectful about it and talking about it and promoting the movie while again still being so respectful towards domestic violence and victims and survivors. Like it is so much more tasteful than what Blake lively has been doing. She’s been making a mockery of it if you ask me as a survivor
When people show you who they really are, BELIEVE it.
Exactly
While it bothers me sooo much when interviewers ask sexist questions to women, such as about clothes, in this particular interview it is COMPLETELY appropriate to ask about their clothes, since there is that historical aspect. So, why wouldn't she ask about their clothes? And the interviewer said nothing wrong with the "little bump" comment; she was being friendly about something that Blake Lively was fine talking about at other times. Blake Lively and Parker Posey owe that interviewer a major apology, Blake Lively especially.
I think that Blake was going for a viral “Feminist celebrity stands up to rude reporter” moment, but the trouble was that Kjersti was being kind and professional, so Blake just went ahead and bullied her. Well, Blake, congrats on having your viral moment! It wasn’t the one you wanted but you got it.
As someone with severe back issues who went paralyzed as a result, asking how much Blake weighs before lifting her, that is not a body shaming issue. It can be really dangerous lifting too much weight if you have spinal issues.
I honestly feel like she's a mean girl. Like, she's the kind of woman who is a good friend to her select clique, but she's a mean girl to everyone else. I can just see her being like "OMG I love your dress!" then immediately tells her friend "OMG I hate that dress."
I also think that she's almost trying to be like her husband doing his press and, to be completely honest, he's charming and funny and knows how to work the crowd and she just doesn't and it's awkward.
After reading your comment, I kind of think you're a mean girl because you're so quick to judge someone you don't even know. See how that goes? And you could call me out and so on and we would talk in circles about how we're both mean. But it doesn't matter, because we don't actually know each other. Judge yourself, not others. You'll be a lot happier.
@@TheSwauzzblah blah blah, so what exactly did you achieve by preaching to a total stranger, who just expressed her opinion online? Sit down Karen

Pretty sure Blake's response to the bump comment was her attempting to have a Scarlett Johannsen moment from one of her Avengers interviews. A couple of her awkward responses and reactions on Blake's press tour appear to me to be her attempting to align herself with more noteworthy actresses' experiences with the press.
Blake has competition issues or just issues in general with Scarlett. She made a bitchy remark during her SNL monologue directed at Scarlett which was when I first noticed her mean girl
Attitude.
I remember an interview with Jeremy Renner and Scarlett Johansson where the interviewer was asking Jeremy serious questions but only asking Scarlett questions about fashion. She rightfully called him out on it. But Blake seems to not understand situation and nuance.
@@heathertimmons6104I think it's because Ryan cheated on Scarlett with Blake so Blake may have some weird thing going on with comparing herself to Scarlett.
Only thing is, Blake is actually pregnant and the interviewer is not. So Blake was just being rude there. And it is a typical thing to say to a pregnant woman.
I think you are right. She just didn’t have the sense to realize
The situations were completely different. Period films that win awards for costuming would naturally face questions regarding the clothing.
I was a substitute teacher. After seeing the Key & Peele sketch, I intentionally mispronounced kids names for fun.
About 50% of them understood the joke. It was hella fun.
I am no longer a substitute teacher in the public system.
hahah that's iconic. back in the day, my chemistry teacher would always reference Breaking Bad & based on that alone he instantly became my favorite- and it's a great way to keep kids engaged (: I bet you were the highlight of their day
And also the interviewer has now said she can’t have children so Blake’s comment about the “bump” really hurt her.
Exactly. But say she wasn't infertile, the best Blake could have been saying is that she is fat, which one woman should never mock another on. Why would you not feel some love when someone congrats you on your baby?
Ugh that’s being overly sensitive of the reporter but I feel like commenting on baby bumps is tacky anyhow
And ontop of that, now the world knows. Poor woman. Completely overshadowed the book’s plot and message too.
@@danidiaz2377 Infertility is a terrible, horrible condition and literally a source of trauma for some people. Congratulating someone on a baby they cannot EVER have for the purpose of fat shaming is just doubly offensive. It's completely reasonable to be hurt by that.
Blake having no knowledge of her infertility does nothing to change the horrible nature of the comment. Like, are you kidding? It just shows that you don't know what other people are going through, so stfu if you can't be nice.
@@cosmicwinters🎯💯
My issue is that she just doesn’t get it and doesn’t seem to care about victims. Even if you ignore all the interviews and media stories, she still promoting her alcohol brand while promoting a movie about DV. It’s like she doesn’t know that a lot of DV happens while the abuser is drunk. She is just so tone deaf on a topic she could have really been an advocate. I was neutral before, but this is turned me off.
Oh holy sh i just realized my dad was a drunk ashl as well so i can actually relate to an extent despite being a guy
@@pumkin610 I’m sorry you had to go through that. Witnessing it would have been awful.
This just gets grosser
@@pumkin610DV isn't only between romantic partners. It extends to anyone in the home. So if your dad was mistreating you during those times, it's also considered domestic abu$e 🫂 it's in its own category because having familial, romantic, or residential ties to someone makes it that much more difficult to recover from. It creates an instability that's overwhelming and it turns the one place where you're supposed to feel safe into somewhere terrifying. I also experienced domestic abuse in my family home growing up, and it made me much more susceptible to becoming a victim to it as an adult...which I did, and I nearly lost my life to it. You don't need to downplay it because it was your dad, you deserve to be heard just as much as any other victim and you deserve peace and healing 🫂 I hope you you've found a safe space today.
I think the truth is she DOESN'T care. She lives in an entirely different world than us mentally and took this movie for probably to have "complex" role under her belt and/or just to jump back into the public pool. It wasn't what I would consider bad at all but I honestly felt she was the only person casted wrong. She's lovely to look at the whole time, but there was just no depth at all. Just beauty and her typical interesting lip movements. For her this is about having all eyes on her. She didn't even recognize the significance of the topic and it's SO obvious. Like I don't think she ignored the DV, I think it went over her head. To her this was another movie for her to look amazing in.

I say this as someone who is a hormonal wreck often, being a hormonal wreck does not give you a free card to demean others.
And in her case her job is publicity and entertainment, it makes her bad at her job if she is unable to maintain composure. She could have been explicit with the interview team to not bring up her pregnancy if that was a concern.
Exactlyyyyy!!! Just like being an easily offended person doesn’t give you a free card to demand everyone around you to adapt to you and your special needs! She’s in this industry where it’s thanks to her fans that she’s remained where she is and she has this terrible attitude! I’m not saying she should fake it but she should definitely be more humble or have class to properly respond to things she finds insulting/offensive.
Not only that - this is FAR from her first pregnancy. If this is her being shitty because she’s hormonal and pregnant, can you imagine the menace to people she worked with during her other pregnancies but didn’t feel comfortable speaking up?
I have severe anxiety and irritability is my biggest symptom. My life has been ruined by my hormonal imbalance. It is literally uncontrollable sometimes, even on medication. She doesn't get a pass, but people need to stop making this bigger than it is and accept that not everyone needs to fall in line with their expectations of behavior. Not everyone is the same nor should they be. Some people will be a little spicier, a little grittier, a little meaner. Get over it. Go meet more diverse people and experience different cultures. Plenty of behavior people exhibit would be deemed rude by you. It doesn't make them a bad person. You judging someone without really knowing them makes you a bad person.

She has a dream life and she still can’t keep her emotions in check for her damn job
The complete irony that most domestic violence shelters desperately need self care items,such as shampoo,conditioner and soap……
real
She could have said she donate a portion of proceeds to DV charity
See she could have actually made it amazing cross promo if she made it so this year or while the movie is in theatres one shampoo purchase = one shampoo donation to women’s shelters

@@jelemilomg this would have been genius
BL has always had that smug vibe.
parker was so rude. what are you talm bout lol. she engaged with blake and ignored the interviewer just the same
Agreed
And the eye roll at the very ends
Lively was pretty tone deaf to the seriousness of the movies topic. Blake scolded a late night show host that he shouldn’t congratulate a pregnant woman on her pregnancy. The reporter is indeed unable to have children. Blake gets an F for her behavior. I’m not a fan anyway.
Ugh, I hate myself for posting this, because I can’t believe I care enough to even comment it, but regarding the woman who said “congrats on the bump” English is her second language. She was just saying a colloquial phrase (“congrats on your bump”) she’d been taught was ok. She had no idea how it could be interpreted negatively. Sometimes we gotta have grace & move forward. Blake was in the wrong for her unprofessional attitude toward that poor fashion journalist and she absolutely owes her an apology. Yes, the woman was asking about clothes because she was going to write about the clothes!!!
Ugh, ok I truly hate myself for getting so worked up over this.
Totally agree! Also, the movie she was being interviewed about was a period piece with very beautiful clothing. So BL tryin* to make it a gendered question is just so annoying
Yes! I thought the same thing! I was like how would she know if that is offensive here? Like, she clearly was not trying to be disrespectful. But Blake came off incredibly disrespectful and culturally insensitive
Actually, specifically as a non native speaker, "bump" has always sounded very weird to me. I would never use that phrase to congratulate a pregnant lady >
She congratulated her on her pregnancy which she had herself publicly announced to the world, posted pics of her belly, and wore tight clothes to further make that point. She did not ask her IF she was pregnant, which is different and some can interpret as rude. But the phrases “baby bump” or “little bump” are absolutely fine and friendly to say to a pregnant woman. No one says “congratulations on your pregnancy “ - that’s too formal.
The REACH in calling her behavior BIZARRE and STRANGE instead it rude and dismissive is weird to me.
The weird thing about the weight thing- is he said he had a bad back and didn’t want to hurt it more- I don’t know why we are focused on why he didn’t want to further hurt himself
What's so wrong with *not* wanting to injure yourself further? That's what I want to know! I have multiple back injuries, and 99% of the time, I'm weighing out whether what I'm about to do is going to hurt me more or not. So I totally get him asking that question.
You don't know why he didn't want to further injure himself? If you'd ever had chronic back injuries you would know why.
@barbmck28 I threw my back out lifting my toddler today and am at this minute in bed about to OD on Tylenol because I'm in so much pain. So I feel this comment so much. Literally 😂
I’m assuming you meant to say “aren’t”? And it was a typo?
@csailer2353 that would make more sense.
She comes across as a very privileged and sheltered woman with mean girl tendencies who us just completely boring and basic. She wants desperately to be better than everyone else but there's nothing exceptional about her. You meet a lot of her "type" in suburban mom groups.

20:00 he had a back injury and enquired as to how heavy Blake was so he could do the required training to lift her without making his injury worse. He was also almost completely left out of the press tour and only did his own interviews etc separate from the rest of the cast.
The bigger controversy is that this whole film was made because Justin optioned it years ago way back when Colleen wasn’t even as famous as she is now.
Blake came in and (all of this allegedly) rewrote the script and then made her own producers cut with Ryan and the Deadpool team. The directors cut and producers cut were played for audiences. His scored better, but Colleen chose the power couples cut instead (which is the one played in theaters).
Then the whole cast distanced themself from Justin just a few months before the movie premiered and then a bunch of headlines about Justin started surfacing that were honestly ridiculous. Then he hired the PR firm. He went on to promote the film beautifully while she promoted it like a romcom. So much so that people went to see the movie not realizing it was about it domestic violence.
Now she’s in hot water for a string of bad behavior because Justin is beloved and she essentially stole his project and used her power and influence to mean girl her way through. (All allegedly.)
Actually, Blake remained far closer to the book of Colleen than Justin. So it's only to be expected that Colleen went for Blakes take on the matter and not the 'holier than thou' take from Justin. Both Colleen and Blake wanted to promote a full picture with all its diffent aspects of DV, not just the one-dimensional 'damsel in distress' narrative Justin was simping for. It's actually quite patriarchical how Justin lectures Blake and Colleen how (female) victims of DV should feel and behave.
2 crew members who wanted to remain anonymous also said she took control of wardrobe when the crew had worked hard to get all costumes ready. She said she didn’t like things and wanted different looks. She’s so disrespectful
Girl love you so so much but as a DV survivor this drama is anything but ridiculous. It’s a book and film that glamorizes DV, it’s a press tour that glamorizes DV and it’s an actress that had the ability to change the metaphorical script and chose to promote hair care and florals. That is in no way being a “crown straightener.” It’s not being a “girls girl.” It’s hurtful af.
Honey did you watch the whole video? She has a different opinion later on when she’s in the white sweater. Jamie is very sweet and smart
@@timelesstalesbeauty5394considering Jamie said only at the very end of her video that she thinks this drama is ridiculous, I think she did watch the entire video.
Jamie has admitted previously she is afraid to approach sensitive or divisive topics on her channel so her MO is to discuss more light hearted subjects and give impartial verdicts - she tried the exact thing here, but it's not really landing. That's why Lively is under fire, she wanted to talk about ANYTHING, besides the heavy hitting theme of the story. And her obvious callousness, of course.
@@Uncha1n3d Yes ahah this is the comment to which I am referring
@@timelesstalesbeauty5394 honey DID YOU?
Why would she even post this? She just basically defended Blake the entire time. Talk about Tone Deaf.
She went from a sister in the traveling pants saga to ... Insulting assault victims 😐
I feel people are responding this way because Blake has been a mean girl for a long time and people are feeling vindicated because more people are noticing her pattern of bad behavior.
People are responding this way because they've been trained to believe that the proper reaction to a celebrity doing something mildly objectionable is to spend weeks trying to dissect every public moment to prove that they're the worst person in the world. Especially if it gains traction with the drama farmers. And after all that... a big nothingburger. She's a person that has been a little rude a couple of times over the last decade. Cue the justifications about why it's totally acceptable to blow this out of proportion. Invest that energy into working on whatever it is that is causing you (not YOU) to fixate on things that mean absolutely nothing to you or anyone you care about.
I think that's also why the reporter may have come out now and shared her story. She felt comfortable because people are finally pulling off their rose colored glasses and seeing the behavior for what it is: being an asshole. Had she shared it prior, I really do think it would have disappeared or even had her insulted and bullied and hurt her career.
The hair care and alcohol promotion was bad enough, but the past behavior and the addition of the fact she had her husband rewrite a scene without the screenwriter's knowledge (potentially during the strike) coupled with getting married at a plantation puts it all together into what you described: an overwhelming pattern. She has been around long enough to be able to pivot an answer even from a weird question - ANYONE who has had media training should be able to do this, nevermind a famous celebrity during an interview.
@@ghostnote-6 Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Only sane person here, I swear. Everyone is going to move on the moment it's not trending. They don't actually care. They just don't want FOMO and they love judging others instead of themselves.
@@TheSwauzz Omg....this is exactly how i feel about the hate train. This is/was never about holding anyone accountable. People love any excuse to dogpile on someone to feel a part of a "cultural moment".
@@TheSwauzz As someone that exists largely outside the drama bubble, I'm often shocked when I decide to dip my toe in and see what's got everyone so upset. Sometimes someone did something truly horrible or criminal, and sometimes someone said something mean on Twitter (or in an interview) 8 years ago. And the frothy discourse around both types of transgressions appears largely the same to me. It felt like Jaime was trying her best to appease her audience while still letting them know how silly this all is.
Man this video really left a bad taste in my mouth. Even when you acknowledge how bad she was, you try to defend her “it’s the hormones”, or “look at this old movie about dv, they also were acting weird”.. girl, NO. Minimizing or ridiculizing this issue just shows a severe lack of empathy, it’s a movie about domestic violence not a fcking romcom to watch with and laugh with your pals.
It just take some human decency instead of acting like a bully (because she was, no matter how much you want to deny it. And P.Posey was too) in the name of feminism even. And the more I read or see stuff, the more disgusted I am at her behavior.
Totally agree, the more I see that video, the worse it gets and there’s no excuse for Blake’s behavior.
Parker Posey was awful in that interview too.
Very
Very much!!! Jaimie was like “We STAN Parker!!” Like, no girl. Eww.
All these people defending Blake conveniently forget to talk about the plantation wedding.
Calm down there bucko. Getting married at a plantation is not a promotion of slavery. Or farming. Or animal husbandry. Or anything else that may have happened in the past on that specific part of the earth.
Exactly, She and Ryan have a history of being out of touch, so this is not new. Ryan is just favored more bc he usually does comedy. And it was a random apology so who was it for?😅 They definitely know how to make a business though.
🤮
I've not heard about this!? Yes, I do live under a rock in the woods in NC! 😂
@HollyHarrelson777 venue was previously a plantation. There are still brick, slave homes on the land. Their excuse is they liked the pictures of pininterest. Crazy to book a wedding venue on a location based on a "pininterest pics" and didn't bother to visit the location or look further into the location. It's literally called Boone Hall Plantation... how did they not know... sure sure
The interviewer asked that question bc Blake is the lead female in a movie where's there's DV. People are going to share their experiences about ending a cycle of abuse, and Blake was basically joking about oversharing her info, bc fans will overshare. In context, no, that wasn't a weird question, thought it was a bit wordy, but yes, Blake's "joke" response was totally inappropriate.
Exactly. He may not have worded it exactly right in the moment, but her response was really inappropriate.
Yeah this lady is just out to defend Blake clearly
she skirted around other questions about the DV- once she started talking about the deadpool movie and did not acknowledge the DV question at all. really trying to make this a "wear your florals" fun romance movie
This really echos the Flaa interview during the "ask her more" phase.
I don' know if there is a hashtag for this one but we are now in the phase where celebrities are resenting being considered objects that the public should have unqualified access to. In that line it would be inappropriate to go to celebrities with your trauma. It's probably always a bad idea to go to celebrities with your trauma regardless of the era.
That's the joke she is reacting to that French doesn't get, but the interviewer immediately understands goes along with. She then goes on to give an acceptably serious answer but that part of the interview is universally cut out. Which is probably why there aren't a rash of interviews with Jake Hamilton about how terrible Blake Lively are with Flaa.
I'm still wondering why Woody Allen is still working in Hollywood after what he did.
ME TOO!!!!
I think that first interviewer had an interesting question. People will definitely connect with such a serious issue, and will probably want to share how the film affected them if they meet the star of that film one day. She could have said she would empathize and pivot to talking about how this is an important issue that affects more people than we realize. Anything other than an attitude of “oh, you want to speak to me? I guess you should just show up at my house and put a location tracker on me!”
And that poor fashion journalist getting “would you ask MEN about clothes?!” She very reasonably responded “I would” because it’s a period piece with fashion costume design at the forefront. Blake Lively’s behavior was absolutely bonkers.
The question was framed in a way to make it seem like Blake *should* have something to say or advice to give when, in reality, these people should be talking to a therapist. Blake's response was part "ribbing" the interviewer for framing the question how he did (or even asking it) and part joke about how a para-social relationship would form from her even giving a response.
If I'm not mistaken, how actresses are the only (or primary) ones asked about their clothes was (still is?) a talking point for 3rd wave feminists so I think that's where she was coming from there. Perhaps the thought just slipped out before she thought about whether it made sense? She does seem like someone whose mouth is just a little faster than her brain.
@@Haylla2008 I don’t think she was asked that question to give advice. It is to see how she has connected with her role as a DV survivor in the movie and how is she going to use the platform and role that she was given because it sheds light on serious topics that many people may relate with and may have experienced.
Since it was a serious topic of abuse and DV that the movie explored, she should have shown respect for the message of the movie and also the audience that related to it. And her jokes didn’t fly because it was not funny. Just my thoughts.
@@Thumbelinamineno, it is a super weird question to ask a famous person. They don’t usually connect in person with any fans due to major security issues.
So she can't just imagine what they would say?
I don't go near bears due to my safety, but if someone asked me "What would you say if you saw a bear and it could talk?" I'd have waaaaay too many questions for the poor bear. Or, to be more realistic, "What bear would you want to pet?" I'd say a black bear or a panda.
The question doesn't make me go out and actually do it
I think the question would have thrown me off for a different reason, which is that like... How is anyone supposed to express what a movie with such a heavy topic means to them in the space of like 30 seconds? That's the part that I didn't know how to answer. He's asking her to like... Tell fans exactly how to express their own stories. Tbh I probably would have rambled about something along the lines of, "I would never want to prescribe any particular way for someone else to tell their own story, I'd just hope they would leave the conversation with the sense that their story matters."
I liked where the question could have gone, which could have been more like, "What message would you hope to get across for the viewers who may deeply relate to your character's experience in the film?"
I'm gonna just say this: The fact that she is Ryan Reynolds's wife and one of Taylor Swift's besties says a lot about them too.
Taylor Swift is pretty well known as being a bully and distinctly NOT a girls girl, just like Blake Lively
It's all about aesthetics with them, above all.
I feel like she's trying to do Ryan Reynolds humor but it doesn't come across the same way. His brand of humor has always been immature, witty, quippy, inappropriate, etc. and it's rubbed off in a bad way. She just doesn't have the same delivery he does, so it comes across as Mean Girl.
Kjersti Flaa is a bestie of Johnny Depp. What about that?
True. It’s makes you scratch your head thinking “what the heck did he see in her?” because she’s so mean and puts people down. And Taylor must enjoy flattery because that how Blake brown-nosed her way into her circle, with her social media posts, then asking her to be her kids’ godmother. Real cunning and manipulative.
Don’t forget her promoting her alcohol lines. Domestic violence plus booze, wow.
with drinks and cocktails named after the film's abuser character! wild
Blake being married to Deadpool & having Tay Tay as her bestie is really going to her “B list actress” head. Blakey remember where you came from, pre nose job & before you wrecked a home☝🏼
oooh THAT PART THO
She didn’t wreck any home, if they were involved before going official, blame him for cheating on Scarlett and her for cheating on Penn, but as I said, doubt that happened judging by what all 4 had to say
English is not Kjersti’s first language, and that’s why she made this awkward comment. It was CLEAR from the start that she didn’t speak English as a native language and Blake showed ZERO grace towards her
As an English teacher in Europe, the number of native English speakers who are rude to English language learners is pretty high.
it’s a perfectly normal and nice thing to say in congratulating someone’s pregnancy …..what’s wrong with people
Yeah, Parker Posey was absolutely mean girling with Blake, just look at her face when the interviewer gets up to leave
She could've been rolling her eyes about Blake TO the interviewer... kind of like, what was that? Sorry!
@@lizajane2971 Nope, the interviewer was already past her and she completely leaned into Blake's ignoring her
I like Parker too, but this interview was not a good look for her either
When I escaped a DV situation and was still reeling from the trauma and its effects, I read a book. That book deeply touched me and inspired me to take my first steps out of my hole of misery. I wrote a letter to the author to thank her and acknowledge her role in my recovery. I might be wrong, but it's a two way street. I will respect and look forward to all her works in the future and draw inspiration from her. And the author/artist/actor, would be proud of her own work and also get that feeling of accomplishment of creating an art that can resonate and help others. As a victim of violence( any kind), people try to make sense of what they went through. Please don't dismiss them and only take pleasure in your ego massage only. Take some pride in your work that can help others. Please, just show some damn empathy!!!
I remember when a teacher of mine was pregnant.
She was definitely not being her friendly self. However, I remember several other people had approached her and congratulated her on her 'bump' .
She just simply said thank you and got back to work. She did not react remotely like Blake did.
Maybe if Blake wasn't up to doing the interview, she shouldn't have done it.
She didn't respond that way because of how her day was going, she responded that way because she's terrified of being fat and so she responded like the mean girl that she is.
I think that Blake was salty about the bump question, and decided to punish the interviewer by icing her out of the conversation. That was some high school, mean girl kind of BS.
Agreed
💯
I’m not so sure she was even mad about it. I think she wanted a feminist moment that didn’t happen organically, so she manufactured it.
It's completely disingenuous to frame Justin Baldoni trying to keep the "stunts" or whatever safe as body shaming. He had a previous back injury and asked the trainer to make sure he wouldn't be putting himself at risk for reactivating that injury - which could also lead to harm coming to Blake, like if they were to both fall. It had absolutely nothing to do with shaming or policing her body and everything to do with being responsible and thoughtful.
She also used the promotion of the movie to promote her alcohol line 😂
