‘Such A Traumatizing Experience’: Blake Lively’s ‘Little Bump’ Remark Felt Like A ‘Bullet,’ Says Interviewer Struggling With Infertility

by

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience in the industry, I cannot help but empathize deeply with Kjersti Flaa’s harrowing encounter with Blake Lively during their 2016 interview. Having had similar experiences myself, I understand the emotional toll that seemingly innocuous comments can inflict on someone grappling with personal struggles, such as infertility.

Norwegian journalist Kjersti Flaa recently shared a heartfelt recollection from her 2016 encounter with Blake Lively during an interview for the movie Cafe Society. This meeting, intended to promote the film, instead left Flaa feeling wounded. A light-hearted comment by Lively about Flaa’s baby bump resonated painfully because, at that moment, the journalist was grappling with infertility issues.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my feelings about a comment made by someone recently, as reported by Page Six via The Daily Mail. In an interview, they casually mentioned something that struck a deep chord within me. Here’s the truth: It stung because, well, I wasn’t pregnant and never could be. So, to me, that remark was like a bullet… It was a traumatizing experience for me, making my job feel unnecessarily challenging.

In an unexpected turn of events, the interview intended to boost Cafe Society encountered challenging circumstances for Flaa. The journalist expressed that the discussion left her contemplating alternative paths in her professional journey.

She mentioned, “I attended the event for their film promotion, but the experience didn’t seem as I had anticipated. I was invited to interact with them, yet it felt more like I was overlooked and disregarded. This encounter left me feeling undervalued, causing me to ponder if I should continue participating in such interviews.”

In an interview between Flaa and Lively, Lively’s congratulations for her pregnancy turned awkward when she responded with “Congrats on your little bump.” This seemingly casual comment had a deep impact on Flaa due to her personal struggles with infertility, causing her to feel both hurt and belittled.

At the moment, Lively is encountering backlash due to her conduct during the promotion of the movie “It Ends With Us.” This film tackles a delicate topic, domestic violence, and critics find her promotional activities inappropriate, describing them as lacking sensitivity. The reemergence of Flaa’s story has fueled the criticism, with many accusing Lively of being insensitive.

Recently, Flaa uploaded the 2016 interview on her YouTube channel, admitting it was the most awkward interview she’s ever had. In her video description, she mentions that conversing with Blake Lively and Parker Posey for Cafe Society (2016) was the most challenging interview situation she has ever encountered.
