A journalist says a ‘nightmare’ interview with Blake Lively made her ‘want to quit her job’

A journalist has shared a “nightmare” interview she conducted with Blake Lively that she claims made her “want to quit her job”, after what looks like enduring a number of pointed digs when trying to interview Lively and Parker Posey whilst the two promoted Café Society. Journalist Kjersti Flaa has thanked people for her support after resharing the eight year old footage, where her nice comments and questions were met with scorn from Blake Lively and Parker Posey, who are being branded “mean girls on Twitter for their behaviour.

Norwegian interviewer Kjersti Flaa shares her “nightmare” interview with Blake Lively, conducted in 2016 while Lively was promoting Woody Allen's ‘Café Society’:

“Sitting down with Blake Lively and her co star Parker Posey for Cafe Society (2016) is the most uncomfortable interview situation I have ever experienced. Is it not ok to congratulate someone on their pregnancy or to ask another woman about costumes she is wearing in a film?”

In the ‘nightmare interview’ clip, Flaa tries to make nice comments and questions at the two with Blake Lively rebuffing her. She congratulates Blake Lively on her pregnancy, saying congrats “on your little bump”. Blake Lively then throws the same comment back at Flaa despite the fact the journalist is not even pregnant.

Lively then addresses nearly all the conversation to Parker Posey, and gets haughty over a question and says the media think they know someone when they don’t. The tone of the whole thing is utterly bizarre, and very tense. It’s easy to see why Kjersti Flaa would have been so bothered by it.

They were so proud of themselves , pulling a mean girl session on this poor interviewer, while she is trying to do her job.
