Blake Lively dragged for yet another ‘tone deaf’ and ‘ignorant’ It Ends With Us interview

Blake Lively is being called out for yet another “tone deaf” and “ignorant” interview about the serious nature of content in It Ends With Us.

She has already been called out online over the fact she’s been promoting her brand and not the themes of domestic violence included in the film, although she has now issued a statement about it on her Instagram.

However, Blake Lively is once again getting dragged for her comments during an interview she had with It Ends With Us co-star Brandon Skenlar, who plays Atlas. During the interview with host Jake, he asks about the best way a fan can talk to Blake if they see her about the sensitive and “deeply personal” themes of the film.

He asked: “Most of us who are lucky enough to run into a celebrity in public get only a few brief moments to maybe speak to you guys. But for people who see this movie, who are late to the topics of this movie on a deeply personal level, they’re really going to want to talk to you.

“This movie is going to affect people and they’re going to want to tell you about their lives. So, if someone understands the themes of this movie, they come across you in public and they want to talk to you, what’s the best way for them to talk to you about this?”

Instead of treating the question seriously, she jokes about giving out her phone number to fans, questioning why she wouldn’t just “location share” at that point.

She responded: “Like asking for my address or my phone number, location share, I could just location share you and then we could just…” before she trailed off laughing. She continues: “I’m a Virgo so every time I’m like are we talking logistics, emotionally.” Safe to say her co-star Brandon Sklenar looked less than impressed by her “tone deaf” response.

One Reddit user voiced their thoughts on her interview, writing: “What the hell is wrong with her? This is just wilful ignorance and lack of self awareness from a fully grown woman. Is she even aware of the movie she is promoting? Does she know what it’s about? The cognitive dissonance is off the charts at this point, she reduced the valid question the interviewer asked her to a flippant joke.

“I genuinely feel bad for her costar and you can clearly see he is uncomfortable but since they’ve all thrown in their lot with Blake and her annoying husband they are stuck with this mess. I honestly appreciate Justin for being the only person to address and tackle the DV themes on this press tour.”

Another added: “My jaw actually dropped listening to this. This response is callous.”
