Checkout Kjersti Flaa's response to this analysis which she called "Spot on." ruclips.net/video/wzZ-tfGkDRM/видео.html Hey Everyone, hope you're enjoying the video 🙂. Here are a few additional thoughts. 1) In my experience, when english isn't someone's first language and an unexpected comment is made, the person often assumed they didn't get it due to the language barrier, in those scenarios, the person often just assumes the best until the intention becomes very clear. I wonder if that's what happened to Kjersti (the interviewer) at first, it's possible she was laughing along because her mind just didn't assume that Blake was starting an interview with guns blazing, until it became very clear that she was. 2) there's another contradiction in Blake's confusing speech at the end about meeting celebrities, in the first example she says that when you meet a celebrity "the DISAPPOINTING thing is when you meet the people they're so much more awesome." Then, immediately after, in her second example, as she talks about meeting celebrities again she says "That's ALWAYS NICE to see that your idea of someone isn't who they actually are." So in the same answer she went from meeting celebrities being "disappointing" to being "always nice." And although I think she went from talking about the disappointment in the media to the always nice of the celebrity themselves the structure of the sentence really sounds like she was making it up as she goes along without really knowing what she’s trying to say. 3) some people in the comments are shifting the focus from Blake’s behaviors to her intentions, maybe she didn’t want to talk about her pregnancy or maybe she took the physical comment as inappropriate. There’s nothing wrong with that, with trying to understand the “why,” but there are three very important caveats that have to accompany that focus. 1) if we’re going to talk about intentions, then we have to consider Kjersti’s intentions as well, even if some people may think it’s not right to comment on someone’s pregnancy, she didn’t mean any offense by it, TO HER it was a polite acknowledgement (regardless of wether that is objectively true), it doesn’t make sense to defend one person’s intentions and judge another person’s. 2) even if her intentions were to normalize not talking about pregnancy, the message was snappy and unclear, she didn’t clarify that that was causing an issue. Anyone who is saying that’s why she acted the way she did is speculating. There would have been a way for her to calmly explain her position on that, even today, I would personally love to hear it. But that never happened. And 3) intention doesn’t change behavior. Justifying why something may have happened behavioraly doesn’t counter the behavior. If I say that someone is smiling and therefore is probably happy, it doesn’t contradict the analysis to say “no they got a raise today, that’s why they’re smiling.” Whether she had a good reason to or not, her reaction was dismissive and snappy, to explain why doesn’t make it any less so. As a behavioral analyst, I call out behaviors and what they suggest. Saying “this is why she acted that way”‘isn’t a counter, it’s an agreement.
I actually thought about that first additional point! I’ve had plenty of visiting foreign friends who nervously laugh or navigate a social situation not totally understanding what’s happening. That additional possibility of her being nervous navigating a cultural difference makes it so unnecessary and heartbreaking.
@@mewho6199 the snapback from Scarlett was definitely warranted, because it was a question from man coming to a woman about her lingerie. Here, it was one woman asking another woman about the period fashions used in the film. My take on this, since I have a friend who was an editor / writer and hated these (what she called) "horde interviews", is that this may have been one of the last interviews of the day and Blake was simply tired of getting the same question (notice that she says "everyone asks..."), or that she was anticipating that the woman would ask her something deeper, and she's mad that she didn't. Not fair to the interviewer to put that on her, but it's a possible explanation. If someone is doing a period film, I would find it à propos to talk about the fashions.
Truly classy women (which Blake is obvi not) know that with fame/power comes with an obligation and respoisbility to be kind and classy above everything else. I live in a gated community where there are "high profile ppl" There is a wife of a guy that is fairly famous that is a mean girl like Blake is here. It just comes across as such 8th grade catty mean girl. The thing the sucks is how many women let her get away with it bc they are afraid of her "wrath" or finding themselves on the outside like this interviewer.
Absolutely! And the other woman as well. The sneering facial expressions she made throughout the interview...wow. It felt like the high school smart girl who accidentally sat at the mean girls' lunch table. Wtf.
@@ersheri parker i can almost forgive since at first she was trying to include the interviewer and it could be argued she weighed things up and thought it was more politically advantageous to side with blake who is more powerful. she didn't seem to instigate but did enable so she might be salvageable. but yes you're very right to point out that Blake is VERY comfortable in this role. This speaks volumes as to how she truly is. It's pretty gross. Maybe she picked up this mean streak from her husband who seems suspicious with his "always on" character. He hides his contempt under a supposed 'character' but he's always in "character".
@@sueq8862true, but it’s a double-edged sword. Sometimes, we cancel people unjustly and destroy their lives in the process. With great power comes great responsibility, and most of us aren’t fit to wield such a deadly sword.
She got mad over a compliment about her pregnancy; she got mad over talking about wearing costumes in a period movie. But she is excited to talk about wearing floral dresses and cracking awkward jokes while promoting a DV drama.
Right?!! There is also another clip with a different male interviewer from the same day as this. When asked what she would like to say about the movie…. She responds droning on and on about the costumes/fashion. #meangirlbehaviour
It’s from 2016. And we’ve never condoned discussing women’s bodies. The interviewer doesn’t have any idea what’s going on w Blake and her body in that moment.
@@Likewewereinparis24 It was well known by BLAKE, that she was pregnant. The interviewer made an innocent and benevolent comment. Blake made an intentionally malicious one. Even if Blake didn’t agree with the interviewer making the comment, it was a completely immature, unnecessary, and hateful comment she made back. If she really believed that she shouldn’t have made a comment about her body, the response to make an inappropriate comment back, is an absolutely ridiculous logic based on that premise. And Blake has a history of being a rude jerk. So there’s that.
Why did the journalist behave tactlessly? She draw attention to someone's belly? It doesn't matter whether the woman is pregnant or not - you don't draw attention to the belly, and the journalist did it. Why she you now dragging it into the light of day? she's spreading hate against the actress.
As a woman, it’s so annoying to see other grown women acting like they’re still in high school. I have been on the receiving end of this type of behavior and it’s awful. Shame on them 😒🙄
Rudeness does lead to then the awkwardness bc it’s like what do you say next. Basically anything next is plain awkward bc Blake will make it AWKWARD. There’s both rudeness and awkwardness.
Parker Posey is a top tier improv actor, and I don't think people realize she is sending cues to Blake, Blake starts to be more open with the interviewer and Parker steps up her game to sabotage it.
I used to love Blake in GG and always saw her like Serena , I always get wrapped up in these characters and start to believe that they are the same way as their character in the show which usually is def not true.
And the journalist is there to help promote their movie! They aren’t doing her a favor by sitting here and “answering questions”. Yea it’s the interviewers job but it’s BL and PP’s job too.
Sadly, relate to this so much. Narcissistic, mean girl behavior, lacking social and emotional intelligence. Its bizarre to me how difficult it is for some to just be kind. ❤ I'm sorry for everybody who has felt or hurt from someone else's entitled bullying. Very sad,breaks the frequency of human connection.
@annab306 yea my mom acts exactly like Blake does here, super mean and condescending. Max narcissism. And Parker is my dad, falling over himself to please my mom and emulate her behavior, afraid to cause even the smallest of offense, lest he earn her ire. Even the tiniest of interactions with them takes me back to high school...except theyre like one of the snobby teachers instead of the other kids.
No Blake. What's actually "disappointing" is not when celebrities turn out to be "more awesome", it's when they turn out to be mean, rude, tone-deaf and arrogant, and when they behave like they're better than everyone and above being kind.
Who is even the other actress clearly her career never went anywhere cause I’ve never heard of her. Also this interview is exactly what probably happened on set with it ends with us, her being nicey nice to everyone and shutting Justin out and everyone following cause she has the fame And money. Goddddd she reminds me of every rude, popular girl in HS just feeding off other people getting what they want and then disposing them. Doubt she’ll talk to any of the cast after this.
@@shikhagupta468 Parker Posey. She's labeled as "Indie Queen" bc she appeared in a bunch of indie films. (Although Lili Taylor deserves that label bc she's a better actress.) Parker is not that notable, except if you've seen Scream 3. But this incident with BL will be her legacy. This isn't prolly how she imagined her reputation would turn out in her 50s. Lmao.
@@shikhagupta468 how strange that you think that just because YOU haven’t heard of a person that means their career has gone nowhere. As if you knowing a person means anything…lol. She is actually very accomplished with an impressive career as an actress, a writer and a producer for quite a few very popular films.
Plus Lively made her feel terrible for asking about clothing about a period drama movie where costumes are worn...wanting to play a victim of someone that has more substance than clothes but then on the movie premiere of her latest movie which is about domestic v!olence she mainly talks about dresses, her shampoo line, and her booze business...seems hypocritical and opportunistic.
It’s ironic…Blake is talking about being portrayed badly by the media and how people always are more awesome in real life, when it’s Blake herself who is ruining her own image right in this moment , not the media
Yesss, I was baffled at this! The irony of talking about celebrities being better in RL, while in that exact moment the interviewer is disappointed at how mean she is in RL. That's a serious lack of self awareness! Unless she's trying to persuade herself she's kind, knowing she's acting rudely... I know a lot of people like that haha
My goodness this woman "Blake" has no manners! She is soooo disrespectful, mean, and unprofessional. Making conflicts out of nothing, ignoring the interviewer, and playing the disgusting tough feminist role. Nothing she talked made sense, there was not a single interesting conversation coming from her. This interview really changed my opinion about Blake. Many "actresses and actors" are not well educated and the media label them as "celebrities=starts" which is a classification that enclose more than being such an excellent actor/actress. In my eyes, Blake is a terrible person.🤮
I love the fact this interviewer waited awhile and out of the clear blue sky, when celebrities have been exposed as being horrible humans, she dropped this interview out into the world like a bomb on Blake. That was a master move. Good for her!
She only posted it because another interviewer had recently told her that Blake had bullied him. Turns out she has bullied 6 other interviewers at least
Funny Blake pretends to be all “feminist” in a toxic way, while engaging in discussions about Parker’s butt and boobs, and body shaming and freezing out a fellow sister
There is a whole movement by actresses about interviewers asking questions of women that they don’t ask men. Blake is getting far more attention than other actresses who have been confrontational over sexist questions because of who she is and her A-list status. It isn’t just Blake, she’s just catching all the hate.
Parker's behaviour is the most interesting to me. She's super appeasing towards Blake - almost fawning over her - and then she starts self-soothing with the fluffy comforter on Blake's chair. She comes off like she doesn't want to upset Blake.
The "fluffy comforter" was a puppy. It not being bedding does make her petting it constantly a bit better, but she was overly invested in it for this not being a distracted-by-puppies themed interview.
Definitely. Once she realized Blake's shift, she went with it. You could tell she wasn't going too. She even tried to deflect the awkwardness at the beginning with her joke
I'm used to being the peacemaker among friends since childhood. I think I initially recognize Parker as trying to tightrope between keeping Blake in good humor and trying to get through the interview. But Parker is a bit of a quirky duck, so this was going to be a dumpster fire from the word Go. Blake isn't even trying to hide her disdain. I feel for that interviewer.
I have never seen grown women act this childishly rude in my life. I was a cheerleader in high school many years ago…I have seen mean girls, but ADULTS? I would have politely asked, “are you always this rude or is today a special day?” What does that say about me? Never, for any reason or any job, would I sit there politely. No human has the right to treat another like that in my world.
💯 And then I would have thrown them out. And then I would troll Lively's social media with pics of her old nose until she blocks me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Am I petty??? lol Yep 😁
Blake INTENTIONALLY set out to sabotage the few minutes Kjersti had to conduct the interview. It's obvious that Blake was demonstrating her power over Kjersti and the public can see and read Blake's microexpressions as well as her passive aggressiveness and intent. It's mean. Period.
Unless the opening “bump” comment was not supposed to be brought up. Clearly she states that people get intrusive and include themselves into personal lives.
I was wondering the same @happinessischosen. I can see Blake’s publicist providing a list to interviewers of items not talk about. Her pregnancy would be the first item on the list.
The self importance of Blake Lively is palpable and disappointing. Both she and Parker Posey are being disrespectful to the interviewer. A very negative interview that did neither actor any good.
I was treated like this by toxic women at work and it made me quit and fall into depression. It really makes you think that you are bad at your job and that you are a failure which can give you very dark thoughts. Let people do their freaking job, it's their livelyhood. Narcissists!
Yes. Don't let them do that to you anymore, anyone. It only shows they have the guts to be nasty when others aren't, so just laugh to yourself because there's clearly something wrong with them that they're fighting with everyday
@@BatshtPassionate you’re so right. My mom always said to feel pity for them and not hate nor anger. They’re clearly unhappy and miserable with themselves.
@@SS-yq9ku Exactly. And normally people like that start checking themselves when they see others still being caring and kind regardless of their behaviour. They're trying to protect something in themselves when they're being that way so it's best to just stay focused on being good humans ourselves 💖
Kjersti is Norwegian. As a fellow Norwegian I can testify that politeness, kindness and good manners are THE most important virtues to us, so this kind of behavior is obviously extremely uncomfortable. Most Norwegians will go out of their way trying to avoid conflict, and another thing: Equality is so deeply rooted in our society that even the slightest hint that she is being sexist is above and beyond the worst insult a Norwegian could recieve. She was only asking about costumes for Christ's sake, and her answer that she would ask men the same question is obviously true.
We (my husband and I) visited Norway recently and were wonderfully surprised at how nice and polite everyone is as well as the beauty of the land. Hi from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
Two signs about Parker's eyeroll would indicate for me that her reaction was directed towards the journalist and not the situation : 1) her gaze follows the journalist exiting the room, indicating that the reaction is directed towards her AND making sure that Kjersti can't see her reaction as she is leaving and turning her back, 2) Parker is aware that Blake can see her and she doesn't try to hide her reaction from her, implying that her reaction is an extension of their little play there.
I think she wanted to act like Anne Hathaway or Scarlet Johanson. But those two were truly asked stupid offensive questions. Here I only see two rude women disrespecting the interviewer.
@@annapetryk ive seen a comment saying something like "she wanted to be in that MOJO top 10 Celebrity clapbacks of all time so bad" and to this day it still makes me chuckle
I really disliked the way they totally boxed her outta the conversation. Omg. It was so gross. It gave off "im better than you, I look down on you, ". It even gives "look you're not doing anything special, we can interview ourselves. We don't need you". Oh it was so uncomfortable. Most channels didn't play the whole clip. That convo went on for a minute. Disgusting dude. Disgusting.
I came here willing to dislike Lively (who I don't know about) but ended cross with the interviewer. Why talk about someone's body (was it even announced?). Talk about the movie, the work!
@@lindagray1809 yes, it was a known fact that she was pregnant and she just congratulated her like any normal person, didn't make the interview about that
Parker Posey IS 55 YEARS OLD out here acting like a mean girl from highschool... truly pathetic, I will be sure to avoid anything they are a part of from here on.
Well...she looks great! She is also doing some self-soothing, touching that white fluffy pillow? throw? on Lively's chair. She probably felt she had to stay on her good side. She's an indie actress & Lively is a name.
The interviewer’s “crime” was being naturally pretty. She is a tall lanky blonde without surgery, instant threat to Blake’s “status” as prettiest blonde in the room. Blake instinctively moved to kill her perceived competition.
Not supporting bullying behavior, but as far as beauty goes that interviewer looks much older and less naturally pretty than Blake. Behavior aside, obviously. Objectively, she’s no competition for Blake. Not an excuse by any means whatsoever. The girls that bullied me in school, whatever their reasons, were absolutely gorgeous. But she’s not the prettiest one in the room.. 😅
Blake and Parker both seem to be cutting out the interviewer with the way they are sitting. It's like they are being high school children and letting the new girl join on their terms. I used to like Blake before this all came out. Now, not so much. They were both so rude and disrespectful. The way they looked at her when she walked out was disgusting. I kept wanting the interviewer to get up and walk out on them before the interview ended.
Did you catch how toward the end, Parker was reaching over and running her fingers through whatever that furry thing was on Blake's chair, as if to say "There, there Blakey, I'm on your side, what bad questions this interviewer is asking." I never thought one way or the other about Blake because she tends to be in a type of romance film that I'm not usually that interested in. But I must say, based on this and the other news that's coming out lately, I'm biased now. Parker, I used to think was kind of cool, but I've been over her for awhile.
@@MadScntst7 yeh, the assumption that lines were drawn. Handbags at dawn. So weird. And seeing as how the film was set in high society in 1930s then asking about clothes was not dismissive of them as female actors.
Blake is a ScarJo wannabe. ScarJo shut down sexist questions about her clothings in Avegers, which was reasonable. Blake thought she'd look as bad ass for saying what she said, forgetting that it was a reasonable question as they were wearing clothes from another era
Costumes are part of a movie, asking about them isn't misogynistic. Even if the men weren't getting asked about them, I don't see how it makes it any less relevant to being a part of the movie...
At this point, I would not believe any excuse she offered. That behaviour was deliberate and horrible. It makes me question whether Ryan Reynolds is as nice a guy as he seems to be, actually. Why would he be married to such an unacceptably rude mean person unless he thought this was OK?
I don’t know Blake personally, but I am getting mean girl vibes. She seems to be someone who partakes in this type of behavior more often than we realize
Agreed. I love Ryan & didn't want to think he'd be married to someone spiteful, but there's no doubt here that she's extremely rude to this interviewer.
Imagine announcing to the world with pride that you have a baby bump, and shortly afterwards going on an interview where the interviewer congratulates you on your bump (that you just intentionally announced to the world), and acting like the interviewer was somehow fat shaming you or something and responding by congratulating a women who is not pregnant on her “bump.” The interviewer clearly wasn’t calling her fat. She wasn’t even saying the bump was visible. She simply was using the phrase that so many were using at the time as a cute slang term for being pregnant. Ridiculous and vicious.
@@fisleprut I have heard from MANY sources that this was right after she made the announcement. To be fair, I kind of took the quantity of sources at face value and didn’t truly do the leg work to make sure those sources were accurate, but it also makes a ton of common sense. I can’t imagine any interviewer today going into an interview and congratulating a woman on her bump if she hadn’t announced it. Even ordinary people know to be careful about congratulating a woman on being pregnant if she hasn’t announced her pregnancy yet. First, if she isn’t really pregnant it is a disaster for you. Second, even if she is pregnant, if she didn’t want the world to know yet, you might force her to admit her pregnancy before she’s ready and perhaps before she has a miscarriage. I have seen a case of a nasty interviewer with an ulterior motive pushing the issue and forcing a guest to make an announcement she wasn’t ready to make. Ellen did this on her talk show. But even she wasn’t so bold as to congratulate the guest on her bump. That’s too in-your-face. Instead, she danced around the subject, forced her to lie and deny it, and then tried to force her to drink champagne to celebrate not being pregnant. It was awful. But even the nasty interviewer takes a much less direct route on this topic because the direct route makes them look extremely bad. This particular interviewer doesn’t come off as being a bully at all. In fact, when Blake responds in such a confrontational way, the interviewer seems genuinely surprised and flustered. A true bully would be confident and would keep pushing the issue because they would “smell blood” because they would sense they had touched a nerve and only needed to go in for the kill to get those ratings that drive the bully behavior. Based on the reaction of the interviewer I don’t believe she anticipated in a million years the response to her comment, which suggests it wasn’t intentionally malicious. Anyway, once again I have seen many sources saying she had just barely announced her bump to the world before this interview, and the reason I haven’t felt the need to verify more are these reasons. Also, I find it funny that the announcement was so close to this interview that the interviewer just as easily could have been called out for NOT congratulating her. I could be wrong, but I actually think this was the first interview Blake did after the announcement. If that is true, can you imagine interviewing someone say two hours after they announced EVERYWHERE that they have a baby bump and conducting the interview as if that announcement hadn’t been made? The interviewer here was basically in a lose/lose situation, and I have a terrible feeling Blake would have acted like a victim either way.
I remember telling by godfather how lovely it is to see my godmother was visibly pregnant and growing a little bump (she was told after her firtsborn she would not be able to have another baby). And he looked at me like what do you mean a little bump, she is as huge as a whale. It was back in 2010?
The way they isolated her was actively malicious. Every girl who has ever been bullied by the mean girls knows this behavior. There is no question that the answer Blake gives IS calling the interviewer out on mentioning her baby bump. The rest of that long answer is hostile. I used to think both Blake and Parker were wonderful actors who I enjoyed watching. I am no longer sure I can watch or enjoy either one. I cannot UNSEE this. Parker’s look at the end says it all. She KNOWS.
I'm really thankful you're covering this situation. I wasn't even there and I am highly offended. Blake needs to admit she acted unkind and apologize. The interviewer was incredibly kind and gracious to them. Far more than they deserved.
If I recall correctly, the interviewer (at the time) was in a department for FASHION AND DESIGN. 🤣🤣🤣 So her first, more specific question, was literally for the area of interview she was MEANT TO DO. Yikes, Blake.
Exactly, and it was coming off the comment of the cool style of the period reflected in the movie. The fashion in the movie was part of that vibe that they were all agreeing on.
There’s absolutely zero doubt that Blake’s behaviour was malicious and narcissistic, and completely intentional !!! She’s obviously not a very nice person.
Yeah, that’s a bunch of mean girl nonsense. Got sick just glimpsing it. I’ve been keen on picking up behavioral cues like that since before I was a teenager. It’s why I developed an unhealthy need for someone to accept me. That environment was dismissive and passively hostile, that poor interviewer.
@@mewho6199No it wasn't like that, she wasn't being rude at all, she was congratulating her on her new baby. She black lively it's a bully already being mean too.
Interesting observation, back in 2013 when "The Avengers" was in theaters all the actors were doing a bunch of interviews and Scarlett Johansson was getting a little peeved by being continually asked about her costume; "how did she squeeze into it?" and "did she wear underwear?" and "what was her diet?" NONE of these sorts of Q's were asked to the guys. Scarlett said in many of these interviews "why arent the Guys asked about their clothes? Lively is copying Scarlett, but badly!! Pathetic!!
Yes I thought of this too, except this time the question was relevant to the movie and in no way sexualized! Blake was just trying to recreate that moment that Scarlett had.
In fairness, guys who have gotten ripped for films in the last 15 years have definitely had a lot of questions put to them about died in the workout. Think Hugh Jackman, Kumail Nanjiani, Alexander Skarsgård, etcetera. But no excuse for this mean girl Behavior here
@@johannacerna8521 Yes, she had a few things done, especially her nose. So she doesn't look quite different. However, she was never pretty, not pretty now either, nor cute, like you said. Just average. Thing is, if she was nice, more people would like her or get her into more films. I really don't know how Reynolds downgraded so much from Scarlett.
What was rude as hell was the interviewer wasting the very small amount of time she had with these women, who were there to talk about their work, making unsolicited commentary about their bodies and then asking them about clothes.
@@o0Theresa0o The interviewer is from a fashion magazine. Talking about the costume design of the movie is literally her job and Blake knew that. Plus she had already publicly announced her pregnancy. She just saw an opportunity to make someone feel small and she too it.
@@chucknurrish8341 I think it was made clear by this video by The Behavioral Arts that this is NOT what happened one interview comes in is moved out and another comes in. There was LITERALLY no time for her to have done something rude. Blake took offense at being congratulated on her pregnancy end of story and this after just having announced PUBLICLY she was pregnant. How does this make sense?
Parker's arm leaning across made me wonder whether she's trying to protect/comfort Blake or maybe she knows that Blake is commonly rude and is trying to keep the peace
I think Blake doesn't think first before she speaks most of the time esp during interviews.. if she makes a joke, it comes off as basically roasting the other person (intentionally or unintentionally, either way the delivery is not very funny)
Same. But the more you deal with it, the less it will bother you, and the more you’ll be able to make direct eye contact, smile, while simultaneously acknowledging that you see them for who and what they are, and you dgaf. YOU have the power. 👊💥
Me too. 😑 I used to work at a bank and all of the other girls there including the manager were mean girls. They would ignore me, single me out, talk about me behind my back. I am a nice person and keep to myself. There was no reason for it. They just didn’t like me because I’m nice.
PARKER: I was working as a Professional Massage Therapist where Parker Posey stayed in while she was on tour. Everyone in the production stayed there. I worked with several of the cast members who are wonderful people. As a LMT, my work revolved around reading my clients bodies & treating the tension they stored in them. When I saw Parker walk through the lobby of the hotel, her body language told me that she was holding every role she’s played. Watching your video, I believe that Parker has very little sense of self, and absorbs the energy of the people around her. A very sardonic example of a role that I feel exemplifies her is Fiona in “Josie & the Pussycats.”
Absolutely painful to watch two adult women behaving like mean girls. The interviewer was just doing her job. Thankfully we now know who these egotistical narcissists really are. Thank you for educating us on human behaviors. Shame on them!
That's a bit of a stretch from one interview with no context. I think they were a-holes in this interview, does that somehow justify calling them "egotistical narcissists", especially since the interview is old enough that they may have changed quite a lot since then.
@@GeekGamer666 narcissists are technically incapable of changing. It’s been proven that all time in therapy does it make them worse. So… If she acted like this eight years ago… She’s probably worse by now. 😂
I hope these two jump on your breakdown for some points in developing a tiny shred of grace, and then send a giant bouquet & sincere apology to this interviewer.
Blake is just too cool for school. She was rude and dismissive and then totally ignored the interviewer and directed the answer to the question to Parker as if she asked the question. Disappointingly, Parker wanted to be friends with the mean girl so she went along and joined in Blake’s disgusting behavior. They should be ashamed of themselves. Typical Hollywood elite behavior.
These types get theirs in the end. Once Blake is no longer beautiful and replaced by all the newcomers in Hollywood, she will be miserable because in her mind she will always be the IT girl.
I saw Parker’s behavior differently. I think Parker did a better job than it seems at first glance walking a tightrope there. Parker was subtly trying to move the conversation away from the territory that was setting Blake off. She started talking about lighting and set design. Then when Blake interrupted Parker to make a sudden jab at the interviewer around 17:25 (“it’s not just the women that have the clothes”), Parker ignored Blake’s comment and immediately continued talking about lighting. And when Blake rudely said congrats to Kjersti on her “bump”, Parker self-deprecatingly turned the attention to her own “bumps,” so Kjersti wouldn’t be singled out. I think Parker was just trying to move things along and she had to be subtle about it because if Blake got the sense that Parker wasn’t on her side or if Parker called attention to the uncomfortableness, she probably sensed (or knew from experience) that Blake would become even worse.
@@alexp2915 So Parker's cringe at the end was an admission that, despite her efforts to the contrary, she did participate in the bad behavior. Notice her eyes and expression leaning away from Blake; if she really was into it, she'd have shared the cringe with Blake against the interviewer. I think you're right.
Parker Posey seemed to be trying to make light of how the interview started off by bringing in her "lump". It seemed to be like she was trying to either shift attention to her or make light of it and now that I see the ending, I think Parker was relieved from the tension that there was in the interview which was started by Blake. I think Parker was even thrown off by Blake interrupting her to make the comment on how wardrobe question is not asked enough to men. Parker might even have identified herself with Blake (due to their status, career likeness, etc) and experienced some embarrassment, shame, and maybe even guilt or even empathy for the interviewer due to Blake's behavior
In the corporate world, if you have a complaint/concern about someone you work with, you report it privately and report the behaviours that concern you, don't attack the person. Same thing when you are giving feedback to an employee - HR stuff, which is for the same reasons you mention. But sometimes behaviours show character - or lack of it.
As a grown woman, if someone showed me a video of my behavior and I acted like this, I would immediately check myself, reach out and offer a sincere apology, take responsibility for my actions, and make amends. I hope Blake has done that, even if we never hear about it.
When the interviewer said “I would” she said it with such a kind voice like hey I meant no harm whatsoever! I’m the interviewer and the mean girls are always like this with me and I never even know why!
This has happened to me a lot too in my life. Mean girls are envious of our kind nature. That’s what I think anyway. When you’ve done nothing to provoke someone and they treat you this way. It makes them feel better about themselves
Bullies shop around for targets so they can suss out which ones won’t fight back. They never pick on anyone their own size. BL didn’t have to work that hard because of the power imbalance between her and her victim (I.e. Famous Hollywood actress vs. Dutch journalist).
So, I've been watching Spidey for years now, and as someone who has always been a fan of body language experts, I have truly appreciated how Spidey does an impeccable job of keeping any bias out of his results. So much so, that I've unfollowed other channels because it's so EVIDENT that they show their bias... I was thinking about that very thing right before he mentioned a bit about bias. I was also very excited to see that my analysis really lined up with Spidey, but always, he has so much more insight on little cues and how they can be interpreted individually and in clusters. I always learn something new. I did want to mention something that both my son and I noticed about Parker. We both noticed how she progressively became more and more leaned into Blake and showing her more attention throughout the "interview". We couldn't shake the feeling that she was somewhat interested or even attracted to Blake. Not to make it weird, but even down to her hand motions and movement and placement on the furry part of the cushion of Blake's chair. It was odd. I also want to mention that I am a HUGE fan of Parker's work and of Ryan Reynolds. I liked the movie It Ends with Us, so when I saw the backlash in the media, I thought, "No, this CANT be, I need to see this for myself." I wanted to be able to explain her behavior away sooooo bad, but this interview (and others), and her handling of it was disheartening to watch. I can't even imagine how frustrating that had to have been for K. I think Blake didn't even know what she was saying at the end of that. And maybe Parker's eye roll at the end was a little bit of both- acknowledging the awkwardness of the situation AND a bit of placating to Blake's-- for lack of a better word-- b*tchiness. I'd like to chalk it up to pregnancy hormones, but.... That doesn't explain away the other cringe things she's said in other interviews.
Hey thanks for the kind words! It really means a lot! I uploaded a follow up to this analysis today, you have to go watch it hahahaha, the reason I say have to is because you will learn something about Parker playing with that soft fabric next to Blake that NOBODY realized and it will explain why you couldn’t white figure out why she was doing that 😆 the good news is you’re very right about positive feelings.
@@riceexperimentI'm not defending her queen bee behavior here, but I am wondering if this was the last interview of the day, because she says "everyone asks..."... so maybe she had heard the question 10 times already that day and was sick of it. A friend of mine used to do these interviews (she called them "horde interviews"), and she was constantly trying to find a way to approach the interview that would make it different and interesting for them. Ozzy man and Korean Englishman do a pretty good job of approaching interviews from a slightly different angle, so that the celebrity enjoys themself
@mewho6199 the interviewer said she is not well versed in the English language and forgot how to say pregnancy and instead she said bump. Nothing was wrong with "little bump" no insinuating she's fat there 😮
I think Parker was helping the interviewer. Imo, Parker did very subtle conflict management throughout the entire interview. I think Parker did a better job than it seems at first glance walking a tightrope there. Parker was subtly trying to move the conversation away from the territory that was setting Blake off. She started talking about lighting and set design. Then when Blake interrupted Parker to make a sudden jab at the interviewer around 17:25 (“it’s not just the women that have the clothes”), Parker pretended to not register Blake’s comment and immediately continued talking about lighting. And at the beginning when Blake rudely said congrats to Kjersti on her “bump”, Parker self-deprecatingly turned the attention to her own “bumps,” so Kjersti wouldn’t be singled out. I think Parker was just trying to move things along and she had to be subtle about it because if Blake got the sense that Parker wasn’t on her side or if Parker called attention to the uncomfortableness, she probably sensed (or knew from experience) that Blake would become even worse.
The fact the interviewer said she's infertile. That really broke me and I found that to be so hurtful and sad. So, the fact that Blake made that disrespectful comeback was so hostile and mean that was so unnecessary. I feel so much for the interviewer so much. It was like watching highschool mean girls.
That’s heartbreaking for the interviewer. You would think being a mother would make Blake be a kinder person. I find motherhood makes a woman much more aware of how people treat one another. Guess Blake is too good for that. Not a fan of her now. Knew very little about her before this.
That's awful. Makes it so much worse. It can be hard for infertile women to even be gracious enough to congratulate someone. They'd love to have a real baby bump. I'm so disappointed they treated the interviewer this way. You should be an adult in a civilized society, not acting like Blake and Parker.
I have one child and wanted one more but couldn’t have one (because my medication I have to be on), even having my one child I still mourn not being able to have another that I wanted so bad. So seeing my friends having 2,3,4 kids is hard. Now imagining that I was totally infertile like this dear interviewer it would shatter me if someone said that to me. This hurts my heart for her. 💔
Good question, I had a similar thought. Parker seems high and Lively extremely rude and confrontational. This interview for me was like watching a Interview out of Hunger Games, but with the roles reversed.
I've seen an interview from that interview in Popcorn Planet and she informs she is infertile. Blakes comment hurt her and she was confused bcs Blake was 8 months pregnant there and she already had announced she was pregnant.
I understand she kept it quiet then but it would have been the best slap back ever. When Lively said well congratulations on your bump, to say well I am actually infertile so whatever you are looking at is not the same bump as yours. They would shut TF up right away
I think Blake's last comment was to say that if the interviewer did come out and say she was being mean that you couldn't believe everything you hear and that she is much more amazing than what the interviewer might say about her in that moment.
Thank you for bringing up Parker's behavior. Parker had the ability to control the situation and bring the interviewer back in but instead, she followed her lead. Not impressed
Parker was no better than Blake. She tried but knew who she should side with or her problems in Hollywood would escalate. I don’t think Parker is on the same level as Blake but my hunch is she’s not.
This is the height of the “me too” movement and Scarlett Johanson had just confronted an interviewer for commenting on her undergarments she could or could not wear during Avengers movies while the men were not asked that. I think Blake was trying to ride that vibe and go viral for being brave or something.
yeh, i was thinking about that too, but SJ handled it less reactively. There was a bit of humour in her remark. ''that's my question, diet?'' and there had been the comparison of a cast member right beside her who had just been asked a deeper question! It didn't make SJ look spikey rude or ungrateful (imo)
She seems problematic in a way we haven't seen from her yet. But with all of these 'stars', it's just a matter of time before we see their true colors. The fact that her and Ryan have become the same person is problematic for the rest of us who weren't aware. This isn't going to end the way they want it to be.
She seems like the kind of person who would support an abuser because she doesn't have the emotional depth and awareness to understand what abuse can look like, especially when it's not physical !
I feel so bad for the interviewer they treated her like she’s a misogynistic man who was there to diminish their part in the production, while the interviewer was extremely polite and her questions were relevant. No excuse in my opinion for both Blake and Parker. Let’s say Blake was moody and pregnancy was taking a toll what’s Parker’s problem ? They have no right to treat a respectable member of the media like so nor make her feel like she’s making them uncomfortable when they are the one gaslighting the situation. They should both make a statement and apologize not just Blake. Their entitlement was outrageous and that face Parker made at the end like she’s not one the reasons of the awkward moments in the interview just shows how self absorbed Parker is.
@@MsMe99999999which wasn't even off topic because the movie takes place in the 1930s, obviously you would ask about the wardrobes. It seems very strange behaviour from somebody who has co-chaired the Met Gala for like 5 years in a row and has also made fashion such a large part of the current promotion of this film. Like make it make sense.
@@MD-supernovayes. That’s 💯 how Blake & Parker treated the interviewer as if that’s the intention she was coming in with. Blake’s big “mic drop” moment only made her look like an antagonistic asshole.
I was a big fan of Blake Lively as an actress...but after this interview I was disgusted, she came off very rude, mean girl. The interviewer didn't do anything wrong from what I could see. Blake owes a massive apology to the interviewer. Have no idea who Parker is. Ryan Reynold seems like such a cool dude...that I am surprised about her behavior. One thing I will say that I find interesting is when Blake Lively starts talking about media perception and privacy, also how there's a certain image that's created. I always thought she was a pretty chill person, very fun. This interview changed my perception, especially as someone who did get bullied by the mean girls at school, there's no reason to put someone down.
Bad day- not a bad day, nothing justifies what happened here. Years ago I received one of the most painful news in my life and went to work. Catering for a wedding was not easy, but I gave my 100%, smiling to all the guest I had the pleasure to serve. Be professional and polite! Blake wants to be an actress, but is rude to those who help her to promote her work??? Just Rude.
At the end you get the acknowledgement from Parker that this was a very stressful situation. I think shes relieved it was over and not dissing the interviewer at the end. Which means on the inside shes acknowledging Blake made the situation very stressful because the interviewer wasnt stressing anybody out. The only person relaxed here was Blake.
I actually think that Parker Posey was uncomfortable and tried to bridge the gap, she brought the focus on herself (her bump) to take it away from the shot thrown at the interviewer. She was trying to still be on the 'team mean girl', but saw the conflict, and tried to do it in a way that wouldn't alienate Blake. Parker, I feel like, is trying to manage Blake because Blake keeps referencing the 'interview' with little cheap shots, and she seems to realize that Blake is done with the interviewer and she is trying to get her to talk about the movie instead. We all know that Blake has thrown her co-stars under the bus, so she is being very careful to not be on the other side of her. Also her eye roll at the end was AWAY from Blake and I think she was like "wow, I am glad that situation is over", not towards the interviewer.
Yes! I completely agree with you. The way she had her hand on Blake as a pacifying gesture like, “calm down, I’m on your side” while she tries to engage the interviewer with a level of enthusiasm to keep the vibe upbeat. She doesn’t balance it well enough though - she still doesn’t actually look and involve the interviewer _enough_ so it just looks like she’s excited to gang up on someone. I imagine that Blake is the sort of person to dominate you and have crazy expectations of her friends and peers, so they know full well what the consequences will be if they don’t fall in line. Like that poor girl she put all these ugly fling bracelets on at the ‘it ends with us’ premiere, the poor girl was grimacing at Blake’s styling and having to pretend to be excited.
Yea I was curious as to why Parker kept her hands on Blake’s chair o close to her so that makes sense what you said about her trying to manage her and not get on her bad side. It seemed as if she was trying to soothe Blake by being close without actually physically touching her or holding her hand.
@@allisonshattuck9699Parker was actually petting a little white dog that was on Blake’s side. Someone finally figured out it wasn’t a fur throw next to Blake but an actual dog. That might have also been a nervous tick to pet the dog cuz she knows she was in a very awkward situation..
I knew nothing about Blake before the movie came out. I have been busy over the last 15 years not paying attention to "stars", never knew who she was and what she played. All the interviews I have seen since the drama started, Blake comes across as a narcissistic person. Very uncomfortable to watch. The fact that she did to Baldoni the exact same thing she did to this interviewer speaks volumes.
This gave me such intense high school flashbacks. A controlling bully attacking a random person and pulling the seemingly also frightened classmate into condoning her aggression. This made me really anxious and uncomfortable.
Blake isn't very smart. She never understands a question. That's why her answer about misconception went that way. She always throws out word salads. She is very shallow.
I've seen a ton of comments (*on other videos) saying the interviewer was wrong for commenting on her body via "little bump" but "baby bump" is so common! It's not even about weight gain, it's a visible bump that represents your baby! Also I believe Seth Meyers said "I understand you're expecting another baby" and she said "what makes you say that?" so it kinda seems like, for whatever reason, Blake just hates everyone acknowledging her pregnancies without her bringing it up in conversation first.
@@zah936I don’t know about that but I think she got rebuked almost from second one. She probably didn’t want her pregnancy to be acknowledged at all, and from that moment it went badly. Perhaps it wasn’t well known she was pregnant or at least she didn’t want to discuss it at all (which is fair, she doesn’t have to… she handled it badly after that and dug a bigger hole for herself as the interview progressed).
Then she shouldn't have made it public knowledge OR should have told the interviewer that any pregnancy talk or congratulations on air are off the table... Blake is a mean girl through and through.
@@mekylieme yes I love the way she dress!! But after her show and if Ryan didn't take notice of her she'll be just like her co stars like Lauren Conrad where is she??!!
Parker totally reminds me here of that girl who is nice and sweet to you when you get her on her own, but she gets sucked in by the mean girls whenever they're around. Growing up, I knew so many fairweather friends like that who were only nice to me when the "cool kids" weren't around to see
I just Googled the costumes. The house of Chanel designed fancy, period costumes that were a big deal at the time. Some people might have gone to see the movie just to see the Chanel designs.
Also, it's a movie, there are costumes depratments with people that work very hard and costumes are huge part of movies. BL seems to forget that movies do not revolve around actors only.

Hey Everyone, hope you're enjoying the video 🙂. Here are a few additional thoughts.
1) In my experience, when english isn't someone's first language and an unexpected comment is made, the person often assumed they didn't get it due to the language barrier, in those scenarios, the person often just assumes the best until the intention becomes very clear. I wonder if that's what happened to Kjersti (the interviewer) at first, it's possible she was laughing along because her mind just didn't assume that Blake was starting an interview with guns blazing, until it became very clear that she was.
2) there's another contradiction in Blake's confusing speech at the end about meeting celebrities, in the first example she says that when you meet a celebrity "the DISAPPOINTING thing is when you meet the people they're so much more awesome." Then, immediately after, in her second example, as she talks about meeting celebrities again she says "That's ALWAYS NICE to see that your idea of someone isn't who they actually are." So in the same answer she went from meeting celebrities being "disappointing" to being "always nice." And although I think she went from talking about the disappointment in the media to the always nice of the celebrity themselves the structure of the sentence really sounds like she was making it up as she goes along without really knowing what she’s trying to say.
3) some people in the comments are shifting the focus from Blake’s behaviors to her intentions, maybe she didn’t want to talk about her pregnancy or maybe she took the physical comment as inappropriate. There’s nothing wrong with that, with trying to understand the “why,” but there are three very important caveats that have to accompany that focus. 1) if we’re going to talk about intentions, then we have to consider Kjersti’s intentions as well, even if some people may think it’s not right to comment on someone’s pregnancy, she didn’t mean any offense by it, TO HER it was a polite acknowledgement (regardless of wether that is objectively true), it doesn’t make sense to defend one person’s intentions and judge another person’s. 2) even if her intentions were to normalize not talking about pregnancy, the message was snappy and unclear, she didn’t clarify that that was causing an issue. Anyone who is saying that’s why she acted the way she did is speculating. There would have been a way for her to calmly explain her position on that, even today, I would personally love to hear it. But that never happened. And 3) intention doesn’t change behavior. Justifying why something may have happened behavioraly doesn’t counter the behavior. If I say that someone is smiling and therefore is probably happy, it doesn’t contradict the analysis to say “no they got a raise today, that’s why they’re smiling.” Whether she had a good reason to or not, her reaction was dismissive and snappy, to explain why doesn’t make it any less so. As a behavioral analyst, I call out behaviors and what they suggest. Saying “this is why she acted that way”‘isn’t a counter, it’s an agreement.
Please check also their another interview, cause years later they did another interview about another movie
I'm in Ontario so what service do you recommend?
I actually thought about that first additional point! I’ve had plenty of visiting foreign friends who nervously laugh or navigate a social situation not totally understanding what’s happening.
That additional possibility of her being nervous navigating a cultural difference makes it so unnecessary and heartbreaking.
@@mewho6199doesn’t justify Blake’s rude behavior
@@mewho6199 the snapback from Scarlett was definitely warranted, because it was a question from man coming to a woman about her lingerie. Here, it was one woman asking another woman about the period fashions used in the film. My take on this, since I have a friend who was an editor / writer and hated these (what she called) "horde interviews", is that this may have been one of the last interviews of the day and Blake was simply tired of getting the same question (notice that she says "everyone asks..."), or that she was anticipating that the woman would ask her something deeper, and she's mad that she didn't. Not fair to the interviewer to put that on her, but it's a possible explanation. If someone is doing a period film, I would find it à propos to talk about the fashions.
Blake seemed really at ease with being mean. It looked like it comes natural for her which makes me think that's who she is on a regular bases.
Exactly!!!!!
Truly classy women (which Blake is obvi not) know that with fame/power comes with an obligation and respoisbility to be kind and classy above everything else. I live in a gated community where there are "high profile ppl" There is a wife of a guy that is fairly famous that is a mean girl like Blake is here. It just comes across as such 8th grade catty mean girl. The thing the sucks is how many women let her get away with it bc they are afraid of her "wrath" or finding themselves on the outside like this interviewer.
You put that statement so well. Blake seems very comfortable being rude and so does Parker.
Absolutely! And the other woman as well. The sneering facial expressions she made throughout the interview...wow. It felt like the high school smart girl who accidentally sat at the mean girls' lunch table. Wtf.
@@ersheri parker i can almost forgive since at first she was trying to include the interviewer and it could be argued she weighed things up and thought it was more politically advantageous to side with blake who is more powerful. she didn't seem to instigate but did enable so she might be salvageable.
but yes you're very right to point out that Blake is VERY comfortable in this role.
This speaks volumes as to how she truly is. It's pretty gross.
Maybe she picked up this mean streak from her husband who seems suspicious with his "always on" character. He hides his contempt under a supposed 'character' but he's always in "character".
I felt sorry for the interviewer, she did nothing wrong, she was 100% professional but she was outright disrespected

She got mad over a compliment about her pregnancy; she got mad over talking about wearing costumes in a period movie. But she is excited to talk about wearing floral dresses and cracking awkward jokes while promoting a DV drama.
that is an excellent point!
Right?!! There is also another clip with a different male interviewer from the same day as this. When asked what she would like to say about the movie…. She responds droning on and on about the costumes/fashion. #meangirlbehaviour
Blake got upset because the interviewer made the comment about her body instead of about the baby/pregnancy.
It’s from 2016. And we’ve never condoned discussing women’s bodies. The interviewer doesn’t have any idea what’s going on w Blake and her body in that moment.
@@Likewewereinparis24
It was well known by BLAKE, that she was pregnant. The interviewer made an innocent and benevolent comment. Blake made an intentionally malicious one.
Even if Blake didn’t agree with the interviewer making the comment, it was a completely immature, unnecessary, and hateful comment she made back. If she really believed that she shouldn’t have made a comment about her body, the response to make an inappropriate comment back, is an absolutely ridiculous logic based on that premise.
And Blake has a history of being a rude jerk. So there’s that.
That interviewer seems very sweet. She didn’t deserve to be treated like that.
And the pool lady was actually infertile, so when Blake said this, Flaa said it was like a bullet hit her. Poor thing. 😥
Actually she’s so cool, she maintains her dignity. Maybe that’s how you treat children - don’t show and act like you’re provoked by them.
Why did the journalist behave tactlessly? She draw attention to someone's belly? It doesn't matter whether the woman is pregnant or not - you don't draw attention to the belly, and the journalist did it. Why she you now dragging it into the light of day? she's spreading hate against the actress.

Not a popular opinion. But in my mind the interview was rude. Congratulating someone on their bump is never a compliment.
The interviewer has no social etiquette

This interview retraumatizes MOST of us. The mean girls were few. Their victims were many.
Unfortunately very common behaviour among some moms also, but now they're supposed to be adults. Sad.
Sadly, relate to this so much. Narcissistic, mean girl behavior, lacking social and emotional intelligence. Its bizarre to me how difficult it is for some to just be kind. ❤ I'm sorry for everybody who has felt or hurt from someone else's entitled bullying. Very sad,breaks the frequency of human connection.
@annab306 yea my mom acts exactly like Blake does here, super mean and condescending. Max narcissism. And Parker is my dad, falling over himself to please my mom and emulate her behavior, afraid to cause even the smallest of offense, lest he earn her ire.
Even the tiniest of interactions with them takes me back to high school...except theyre like one of the snobby teachers instead of the other kids.
@@MimiRichardson-c9wmany people believe if they are mean it makes them prettier.... but it really doesn't.
No Blake. What's actually "disappointing" is not when celebrities turn out to be "more awesome", it's when they turn out to be mean, rude, tone-deaf and arrogant, and when they behave like they're better than everyone and above being kind.
She acts like she's a mean teenager like 16yrs old!
To my knowledge, neither of them have apologized still to the interviewer. That speaks louder than anything else.
Great point! It's outrageous that neither of them have said anything after all this time
Who is even the other actress clearly her career never went anywhere cause I’ve never heard of her. Also this interview is exactly what probably happened on set with it ends with us, her being nicey nice to everyone and shutting Justin out and everyone following cause she has the fame

…with crazy eyes too. IMO
Right? I feel like the media has always been nice to her.. and evidentially too nice
This is why she rarely does media interviews outside of movie promotions. Her team is well aware she is often perceived as rude/mean.
Yesss, I was baffled at this! The irony of talking about celebrities being better in RL, while in that exact moment the interviewer is disappointed at how mean she is in RL. That's a serious lack of self awareness! Unless she's trying to persuade herself she's kind, knowing she's acting rudely... I know a lot of people like that haha
My goodness this woman "Blake" has no manners! She is soooo disrespectful, mean, and unprofessional. Making conflicts out of nothing, ignoring the interviewer, and playing the disgusting tough feminist role. Nothing she talked made sense, there was not a single interesting conversation coming from her. This interview really changed my opinion about Blake. Many "actresses and actors" are not well educated and the media label them as "celebrities=starts" which is a classification that enclose more than being such an excellent actor/actress. In my eyes, Blake is a terrible person.🤮
Being rude is forgivable. Refusing to apologize is not.
100%
I love the fact this interviewer waited awhile and out of the clear blue sky, when celebrities have been exposed as being horrible humans, she dropped this interview out into the world like a bomb on Blake. That was a master move. Good for her!

Yes! That's what I keep thinking when I see this lol she's great at her job
Yes!... It was beautifully done.
She only posted it because another interviewer had recently told her that Blake had bullied him. Turns out she has bullied 6 other interviewers at least
Sonebody from a team asked her about experiences and said to release it
It looks like Blake goes out of her way to not look at the interviewer. This is gross.
Posey as well.
I noticed that too, Blake HARDLY acknowledges her afterwards!! She's acting like a damn fool..
Funny Blake pretends to be all “feminist” in a toxic way, while engaging in discussions about Parker’s butt and boobs, and body shaming and freezing out a fellow sister
EXACTLY
That's what a modern feminist is
Let alone promoting your presence in a WOODY ALLEN movie, let me laugh here
Well said
There is a whole movement by actresses about interviewers asking questions of women that they don’t ask men. Blake is getting far more attention than other actresses who have been confrontational over sexist questions because of who she is and her A-list status. It isn’t just Blake, she’s just catching all the hate.
Parker's behaviour is the most interesting to me. She's super appeasing towards Blake - almost fawning over her - and then she starts self-soothing with the fluffy comforter on Blake's chair. She comes off like she doesn't want to upset Blake.
The "fluffy comforter" was a puppy. It not being bedding does make her petting it constantly a bit better, but she was overly invested in it for this not being a distracted-by-puppies themed interview.
Blake is definitely the "cool, popular" girl, and Posey wants Blake to like her. Pecking order.
Definitely. Once she realized Blake's shift, she went with it. You could tell she wasn't going too. She even tried to deflect the awkwardness at the beginning with her joke
Wanna be
I'm used to being the peacemaker among friends since childhood. I think I initially recognize Parker as trying to tightrope between keeping Blake in good humor and trying to get through the interview. But Parker is a bit of a quirky duck, so this was going to be a dumpster fire from the word Go. Blake isn't even trying to hide her disdain. I feel for that interviewer.
I have never seen grown women act this childishly rude in my life. I was a cheerleader in high school many years ago…I have seen mean girls, but ADULTS? I would have politely asked, “are you always this rude or is today a special day?” What does that say about me? Never, for any reason or any job, would I sit there politely. No human has the right to treat another like that in my world.
You're my people.
💯 And then I would have thrown them out. And then I would troll Lively's social media with pics of her old nose until she blocks me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Am I petty??? lol Yep 😁
You never did?? I’ve seen it even in the work space!! I’d like your life if you’ve never seen that in adults
I've seen and still dealing with ADULTS MEAN GIRLS! It's sickening. They are big bullies.
@@Beth-pf6oo 😜😝🤪
Blake INTENTIONALLY set out to sabotage the few minutes Kjersti had to conduct the interview. It's obvious that Blake was demonstrating her power over Kjersti and the public can see and read Blake's microexpressions as well as her passive aggressiveness and intent. It's mean. Period.
Unless the opening “bump” comment was not supposed to be brought up. Clearly she states that people get intrusive and include themselves into personal lives.
@@Happinessischosen stop making nonsense excuses for her
I was wondering the same @happinessischosen. I can see Blake’s publicist providing a list to interviewers of items not talk about. Her pregnancy would be the first item on the list.
@@Happinessischosenpublic was aware of her pregnancy.
@@Happinessischosen she could have graciously said "thank you." What a BS excuse.
The self importance of Blake Lively is palpable and disappointing. Both she and Parker Posey are being disrespectful to the interviewer. A very negative interview that did neither actor any good.
"The self importance of..." when talking about someone that is being INTERVIEWED. That's an actual importance lmao
The interviewer bears the first responsibility for being respectful to the guest.

I was treated like this by toxic women at work and it made me quit and fall into depression. It really makes you think that you are bad at your job and that you are a failure which can give you very dark thoughts. Let people do their freaking job, it's their livelyhood. Narcissists!
This is how women bully

Yes. Don't let them do that to you anymore, anyone. It only shows they have the guts to be nasty when others aren't, so just laugh to yourself because there's clearly something wrong with them that they're fighting with everyday
@@BatshtPassionate you’re so right. My mom always said to feel pity for them and not hate nor anger. They’re clearly unhappy and miserable with themselves.
@@SS-yq9ku Exactly. And normally people like that start checking themselves when they see others still being caring and kind regardless of their behaviour. They're trying to protect something in themselves when they're being that way so it's best to just stay focused on being good humans ourselves 💖
Kjersti is Norwegian. As a fellow Norwegian I can testify that politeness, kindness and good manners are THE most important virtues to us, so this kind of behavior is obviously extremely uncomfortable. Most Norwegians will go out of their way trying to avoid conflict, and another thing: Equality is so deeply rooted in our society that even the slightest hint that she is being sexist is above and beyond the worst insult a Norwegian could recieve. She was only asking about costumes for Christ's sake, and her answer that she would ask men the same question is obviously true.
We (my husband and I) visited Norway recently and were wonderfully surprised at how nice and polite everyone is as well as the beauty of the land. Hi from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
Two signs about Parker's eyeroll would indicate for me that her reaction was directed towards the journalist and not the situation : 1) her gaze follows the journalist exiting the room, indicating that the reaction is directed towards her AND making sure that Kjersti can't see her reaction as she is leaving and turning her back, 2) Parker is aware that Blake can see her and she doesn't try to hide her reaction from her, implying that her reaction is an extension of their little play there.

@@lindagray1809 yes, it was a known fact that she was pregnant and she just congratulated her like any normal person, didn't make the interview about that

I get the impression that Parker was just trying to cope. She wasn't being mean. Of course she is afraid of Blake!
Parker is trying to be cool with be popular girls, if she were alone here she never would have acted like this. Shame on her
Well...she looks great! She is also doing some self-soothing, touching that white fluffy pillow? throw? on Lively's chair. She probably felt she had to stay on her good side. She's an indie actress & Lively is a name.
Parker Posie was attempting to distract from Blake’s fail. The over talking was second hand embarrassment…..
@@hisomeonetrackingmuch1309afraid of Blake? She’s got 20+ years on that girl, and she’s over here trying to sideline with her, pathetic
The interviewer’s “crime” was being naturally pretty. She is a tall lanky blonde without surgery, instant threat to Blake’s “status” as prettiest blonde in the room. Blake instinctively moved to kill her perceived competition.
Exactly what I was thinking
She is quite beautiful
Suddenly this all makes sense
My thoughts exactly
Not supporting bullying behavior, but as far as beauty goes that interviewer looks much older and less naturally pretty than Blake. Behavior aside, obviously. Objectively, she’s no competition for Blake. Not an excuse by any means whatsoever. The girls that bullied me in school, whatever their reasons, were absolutely gorgeous. But she’s not the prettiest one in the room.. 😅
I love how the interviewer maintained her composure. Blake was definitely being confrontational AND rude.
Blake and Parker both seem to be cutting out the interviewer with the way they are sitting. It's like they are being high school children and letting the new girl join on their terms. I used to like Blake before this all came out. Now, not so much.
They were both so rude and disrespectful. The way they looked at her when she walked out was disgusting.
I kept wanting the interviewer to get up and walk out on them before the interview ended.
Did you catch how toward the end, Parker was reaching over and running her fingers through whatever that furry thing was on Blake's chair, as if to say "There, there Blakey, I'm on your side, what bad questions this interviewer is asking." I never thought one way or the other about Blake because she tends to be in a type of romance film that I'm not usually that interested in. But I must say, based on this and the other news that's coming out lately, I'm biased now. Parker, I used to think was kind of cool, but I've been over her for awhile.

@@MadScntst7 yeh, the assumption that lines were drawn. Handbags at dawn. So weird. And seeing as how the film was set in high society in 1930s then asking about clothes was not dismissive of them as female actors.
Blake is a ScarJo wannabe. ScarJo shut down sexist questions about her clothings in Avegers, which was reasonable. Blake thought she'd look as bad ass for saying what she said, forgetting that it was a reasonable question as they were wearing clothes from another era
1000000!
Costumes are part of a movie, asking about them isn't misogynistic. Even if the men weren't getting asked about them, I don't see how it makes it any less relevant to being a part of the movie...
Seems she is not very bright.
THIS! Thats what I thought as well, maybe she was trying to be a good "feminist", but she was being a B...ad person
Interesting since Blake met Ryan Reynolds when he was still married to Scarlett Johanson
At this point, I would not believe any excuse she offered. That behaviour was deliberate and horrible. It makes me question whether Ryan Reynolds is as nice a guy as he seems to be, actually. Why would he be married to such an unacceptably rude mean person unless he thought this was OK?
I don’t know Blake personally, but I am getting mean girl vibes. She seems to be someone who partakes in this type of behavior more often than we realize
Agreed. I love Ryan & didn't want to think he'd be married to someone spiteful, but there's no doubt here that she's extremely rude to this interviewer.
Celebrities' PR teams can hide bad behavior very well. So I am glad that Blake's is finally being exposed!
Watching celebrities teardown the illusion their fans have of them, is by far their best work to date.
Oh well said. Nothing to admire here.
Well said!
Imagine announcing to the world with pride that you have a baby bump, and shortly afterwards going on an interview where the interviewer congratulates you on your bump (that you just intentionally announced to the world), and acting like the interviewer was somehow fat shaming you or something and responding by congratulating a women who is not pregnant on her “bump.” The interviewer clearly wasn’t calling her fat. She wasn’t even saying the bump was visible. She simply was using the phrase that so many were using at the time as a cute slang term for being pregnant. Ridiculous and vicious.
Oh, I heard somewhere it was before the announcement and that was why she was mad. However, I don't know if it is true.
@@fisleprut I have heard from MANY sources that this was right after she made the announcement. To be fair, I kind of took the quantity of sources at face value and didn’t truly do the leg work to make sure those sources were accurate, but it also makes a ton of common sense. I can’t imagine any interviewer today going into an interview and congratulating a woman on her bump if she hadn’t announced it. Even ordinary people know to be careful about congratulating a woman on being pregnant if she hasn’t announced her pregnancy yet. First, if she isn’t really pregnant it is a disaster for you. Second, even if she is pregnant, if she didn’t want the world to know yet, you might force her to admit her pregnancy before she’s ready and perhaps before she has a miscarriage.
I have seen a case of a nasty interviewer with an ulterior motive pushing the issue and forcing a guest to make an announcement she wasn’t ready to make. Ellen did this on her talk show. But even she wasn’t so bold as to congratulate the guest on her bump. That’s too in-your-face. Instead, she danced around the subject, forced her to lie and deny it, and then tried to force her to drink champagne to celebrate not being pregnant. It was awful. But even the nasty interviewer takes a much less direct route on this topic because the direct route makes them look extremely bad.
This particular interviewer doesn’t come off as being a bully at all. In fact, when Blake responds in such a confrontational way, the interviewer seems genuinely surprised and flustered. A true bully would be confident and would keep pushing the issue because they would “smell blood” because they would sense they had touched a nerve and only needed to go in for the kill to get those ratings that drive the bully behavior. Based on the reaction of the interviewer I don’t believe she anticipated in a million years the response to her comment, which suggests it wasn’t intentionally malicious.
Anyway, once again I have seen many sources saying she had just barely announced her bump to the world before this interview, and the reason I haven’t felt the need to verify more are these reasons.
Also, I find it funny that the announcement was so close to this interview that the interviewer just as easily could have been called out for NOT congratulating her. I could be wrong, but I actually think this was the first interview Blake did after the announcement. If that is true, can you imagine interviewing someone say two hours after they announced EVERYWHERE that they have a baby bump and conducting the interview as if that announcement hadn’t been made? The interviewer here was basically in a lose/lose situation, and I have a terrible feeling Blake would have acted like a victim either way.
It gets worse. The interviewer has had issues with fertility and Blake’s comment really stung.
@@michellecurfiss461 I didn’t know that part. How sad and truly disgusting.
I remember telling by godfather how lovely it is to see my godmother was visibly pregnant and growing a little bump (she was told after her firtsborn she would not be able to have another baby). And he looked at me like what do you mean a little bump, she is as huge as a whale. It was back in 2010?
The way they isolated her was actively malicious. Every girl who has ever been bullied by the mean girls knows this behavior. There is no question that the answer Blake gives IS calling the interviewer out on mentioning her baby bump. The rest of that long answer is hostile. I used to think both Blake and Parker were wonderful actors who I enjoyed watching. I am no longer sure I can watch or enjoy either one. I cannot UNSEE this. Parker’s look at the end says it all. She KNOWS.
even worse the interviewer revealed she's infertile and Blake's response felt like a bullet
I found Blake’s answer correct though about assuming…. I assumed she was a nice person. I was indeed wrong. She is not.
I'm really thankful you're covering this situation. I wasn't even there and I am highly offended. Blake needs to admit she acted unkind and apologize.
The interviewer was incredibly kind and gracious to them. Far more than they deserved.

If I recall correctly, the interviewer (at the time) was in a department for FASHION AND DESIGN. 🤣🤣🤣 So her first, more specific question, was literally for the area of interview she was MEANT TO DO. Yikes, Blake.
Exactly, and it was coming off the comment of the cool style of the period reflected in the movie. The fashion in the movie was part of that vibe that they were all agreeing on.
Great content which makes the attitude even more offensive
There’s absolutely zero doubt that Blake’s behaviour was malicious and narcissistic, and completely intentional !!! She’s obviously not a very nice person.
Yeah, that’s a bunch of mean girl nonsense. Got sick just glimpsing it.
I’ve been keen on picking up behavioral cues like that since before I was a teenager. It’s why I developed an unhealthy need for someone to accept me. That environment was dismissive and passively hostile, that poor interviewer.

I noticed Blake's wicked smile at the end (when Parker doing eye roll). Like she is very proud of herself.
Interesting observation, back in 2013 when "The Avengers" was in theaters all the actors were doing a bunch of interviews and Scarlett Johansson was getting a little peeved by being continually asked about her costume; "how did she squeeze into it?" and "did she wear underwear?" and "what was her diet?" NONE of these sorts of Q's were asked to the guys. Scarlett said in many of these interviews "why arent the Guys asked about their clothes? Lively is copying Scarlett, but badly!! Pathetic!!
That's it exactly 💯
Trying to emulate ScarJo but getting it completely wrong!
BL couldn't have behaved worse.
Her true self, looking down on others.
Ooh, I like this comment! Copying and trying to one-up Scarlett, who is the ex-wife of Ryan...
Yes I thought of this too, except this time the question was relevant to the movie and in no way sexualized! Blake was just trying to recreate that moment that Scarlett had.

She knew exactly what she was doing. It was rude as hell. The interviewer did nothing to bring that on her.
What was rude as hell was the interviewer wasting the very small amount of time she had with these women, who were there to talk about their work, making unsolicited commentary about their bodies and then asking them about clothes.
@@o0Theresa0o The interviewer is from a fashion magazine. Talking about the costume design of the movie is literally her job and Blake knew that. Plus she had already publicly announced her pregnancy. She just saw an opportunity to make someone feel small and she too it.
Maybe the interviewer was rude before the cameras turned on. We have seen that before. Food for thought.
@@chucknurrish8341 I think it was made clear by this video by The Behavioral Arts that this is NOT what happened one interview comes in is moved out and another comes in.

@@wendilively516 valid point.

Blake’s personality seems MORE DISAPPOINTING in her treatment of the interviewer than I imagined her to be.

PARKER: I was working as a Professional Massage Therapist where Parker Posey stayed in while she was on tour. Everyone in the production stayed there. I worked with several of the cast members who are wonderful people. As a LMT, my work revolved around reading my clients bodies & treating the tension they stored in them. When I saw Parker walk through the lobby of the hotel, her body language told me that she was holding every role she’s played. Watching your video, I believe that Parker has very little sense of self, and absorbs the energy of the people around her. A very sardonic example of a role that I feel exemplifies her is Fiona in “Josie & the Pussycats.”
Oof 😥 I just wanna hug the interviewer.. that was awful behaviour
Absolutely painful to watch two adult women behaving like mean girls. The interviewer was just doing her job. Thankfully we now know who these egotistical narcissists really are. Thank you for educating us on human behaviors. Shame on them!
Agreed!
Disgusting!
That's a bit of a stretch from one interview with no context. I think they were a-holes in this interview, does that somehow justify calling them "egotistical narcissists", especially since the interview is old enough that they may have changed quite a lot since then.
@@GeekGamer666 narcissists are technically incapable of changing. It’s been proven that all time in therapy does it make them worse.

Yes, and the interviewer was struggling with infertility so Blake's rudeness about the pregnancy congratulations was especially bad 😢
I hope these two jump on your breakdown for some points in developing a tiny shred of grace, and then send a giant bouquet & sincere apology to this interviewer.
Blake is just too cool for school. She was rude and dismissive and then totally ignored the interviewer and directed the answer to the question to Parker as if she asked the question. Disappointingly, Parker wanted to be friends with the mean girl so she went along and joined in Blake’s disgusting behavior. They should be ashamed of themselves. Typical Hollywood elite behavior.
She’s not yet out of her “Gossip Mean Girl” role i guess.. such a B!!
100% Correct!
These types get theirs in the end. Once Blake is no longer beautiful and replaced by all the newcomers in Hollywood, she will be miserable because in her mind she will always be the IT girl.
I saw Parker’s behavior differently. I think Parker did a better job than it seems at first glance walking a tightrope there. Parker was subtly trying to move the conversation away from the territory that was setting Blake off. She started talking about lighting and set design. Then when Blake interrupted Parker to make a sudden jab at the interviewer around 17:25 (“it’s not just the women that have the clothes”), Parker ignored Blake’s comment and immediately continued talking about lighting. And when Blake rudely said congrats to Kjersti on her “bump”, Parker self-deprecatingly turned the attention to her own “bumps,” so Kjersti wouldn’t be singled out.
I think Parker was just trying to move things along and she had to be subtle about it because if Blake got the sense that Parker wasn’t on her side or if Parker called attention to the uncomfortableness, she probably sensed (or knew from experience) that Blake would become even worse.
@@alexp2915 So Parker's cringe at the end was an admission that, despite her efforts to the contrary, she did participate in the bad behavior. Notice her eyes and expression leaning away from Blake; if she really was into it, she'd have shared the cringe with Blake against the interviewer. I think you're right.
Not only is her mean girl attitude disgusting, but isn’t the whole point of the interview to promote the movie? She’s completely irresponsible.
NOT professional at all!
Exactly!!! Maybe she doesn’t know? 😂
Blake hasn't left high-school yet. Mean girl for life.
Parker Posey seemed to be trying to make light of how the interview started off by bringing in her "lump". It seemed to be like she was trying to either shift attention to her or make light of it and now that I see the ending, I think Parker was relieved from the tension that there was in the interview which was started by Blake. I think Parker was even thrown off by Blake interrupting her to make the comment on how wardrobe question is not asked enough to men. Parker might even have identified herself with Blake (due to their status, career likeness, etc) and experienced some embarrassment, shame, and maybe even guilt or even empathy for the interviewer due to Blake's behavior
“I analyze behavior not character”. That is a profound statement that leaves room for growth and expansion for all.
In the corporate world, if you have a complaint/concern about someone you work with, you report it privately and report the behaviours that concern you, don't attack the person. Same thing when you are giving feedback to an employee - HR stuff, which is for the same reasons you mention. But sometimes behaviours show character - or lack of it.
As a grown woman, if someone showed me a video of my behavior and I acted like this, I would immediately check myself, reach out and offer a sincere apology, take responsibility for my actions, and make amends. I hope Blake has done that, even if we never hear about it.
The interviewer said she hasn’t reach out to apologize which is wild!
When the interviewer said “I would” she said it with such a kind voice like hey I meant no harm whatsoever! I’m the interviewer and the mean girls are always like this with me and I never even know why!
They envy your kindness.
This has happened to me a lot too in my life. Mean girls are envious of our kind nature. That’s what I think anyway. When you’ve done nothing to provoke someone and they treat you this way. It makes them feel better about themselves
How can you envy kindness @@jebby16
Some people are just rude or evil. Don't waste your time trying to figure out why people do what they do. You deserve better.
Bullies shop around for targets so they can suss out which ones won’t fight back. They never pick on anyone their own size.
BL didn’t have to work that hard because of the power imbalance between her and her victim (I.e. Famous Hollywood actress vs. Dutch journalist).
So, I've been watching Spidey for years now, and as someone who has always been a fan of body language experts, I have truly appreciated how Spidey does an impeccable job of keeping any bias out of his results. So much so, that I've unfollowed other channels because it's so EVIDENT that they show their bias... I was thinking about that very thing right before he mentioned a bit about bias.
I was also very excited to see that my analysis really lined up with Spidey, but always, he has so much more insight on little cues and how they can be interpreted individually and in clusters. I always learn something new.
I did want to mention something that both my son and I noticed about Parker. We both noticed how she progressively became more and more leaned into Blake and showing her more attention throughout the "interview". We couldn't shake the feeling that she was somewhat interested or even attracted to Blake. Not to make it weird, but even down to her hand motions and movement and placement on the furry part of the cushion of Blake's chair. It was odd.
I also want to mention that I am a HUGE fan of Parker's work and of Ryan Reynolds. I liked the movie It Ends with Us, so when I saw the backlash in the media, I thought, "No, this CANT be, I need to see this for myself." I wanted to be able to explain her behavior away sooooo bad, but this interview (and others), and her handling of it was disheartening to watch. I can't even imagine how frustrating that had to have been for K.
I think Blake didn't even know what she was saying at the end of that. And maybe Parker's eye roll at the end was a little bit of both- acknowledging the awkwardness of the situation AND a bit of placating to Blake's-- for lack of a better word-- b*tchiness. I'd like to chalk it up to pregnancy hormones, but.... That doesn't explain away the other cringe things she's said in other interviews.
Hey thanks for the kind words! It really means a lot! I uploaded a follow up to this analysis today, you have to go watch it hahahaha, the reason I say have to is because you will learn something about Parker playing with that soft fabric next to Blake that NOBODY realized and it will explain why you couldn’t white figure out why she was doing that 😆 the good news is you’re very right about positive feelings.

I'm so glad you chose to cover Blake because this was such odd & rude behavior in her part
@mewho6199 the interviewer said she is not well versed in the English language and forgot how to say pregnancy and instead she said bump. Nothing was wrong with "little bump" no insinuating she's fat there 😮
Ok, Blake 😂😂 @@mewho6199
@@mewho6199 No. It's a very common, friendly, cute and nice way to congratulate someone on their pregnancy. It has nothing to do with looks.
@me who
Victim much?
Gawd.
@@mewho6199you’re ridiculous and reaching for anything. Blake was clearly rude and the interviewer was a sweet lady.
I would have quietly left the interview and waited to see how long it took them to notice. Lol
I'm glad my initial reading was correct. I thought that PP was initially trying to help the interviewer, but BL encouraged her to go full mean-girl.
I think Parker was helping the interviewer. Imo, Parker did very subtle conflict management throughout the entire interview. I think Parker did a better job than it seems at first glance walking a tightrope there. Parker was subtly trying to move the conversation away from the territory that was setting Blake off. She started talking about lighting and set design. Then when Blake interrupted Parker to make a sudden jab at the interviewer around 17:25 (“it’s not just the women that have the clothes”), Parker pretended to not register Blake’s comment and immediately continued talking about lighting. And at the beginning when Blake rudely said congrats to Kjersti on her “bump”, Parker self-deprecatingly turned the attention to her own “bumps,” so Kjersti wouldn’t be singled out.
I think Parker was just trying to move things along and she had to be subtle about it because if Blake got the sense that Parker wasn’t on her side or if Parker called attention to the uncomfortableness, she probably sensed (or knew from experience) that Blake would become even worse.
Yes!@@alexp2915
The fact the interviewer said she's infertile. That really broke me and I found that to be so hurtful and sad. So, the fact that Blake made that disrespectful comeback was so hostile and mean that was so unnecessary. I feel so much for the interviewer so much. It was like watching highschool mean girls.
That’s heartbreaking for the interviewer. You would think being a mother would make Blake be a kinder person. I find motherhood makes a woman much more aware of how people treat one another. Guess Blake is too good for that. Not a fan of her now. Knew very little about her before this.
That's awful. Makes it so much worse. It can be hard for infertile women to even be gracious enough to congratulate someone. They'd love to have a real baby bump. I'm so disappointed they treated the interviewer this way. You should be an adult in a civilized society, not acting like Blake and Parker.
Yeah I was confused. Was the interviewer also pregnant or was Blake calling her fat with that "bump" congratulations? Do you know?
@@nicolegallegos9145she is infertile so not pregnant
I have one child and wanted one more but couldn’t have one (because my medication I have to be on), even having my one child I still mourn not being able to have another that I wanted so bad. So seeing my friends having 2,3,4 kids is hard. Now imagining that I was totally infertile like this dear interviewer it would shatter me if someone said that to me. This hurts my heart for her. 💔
Did Blake and Parker forget where & who they are? This is their *job.* Why are they being unprofessional?
Also, is Parker on substances?
Parker on substances was my first impression too.
@@stephaniejoy2496- same here
Good question, I had a similar thought. Parker seems high and Lively extremely rude and confrontational. This interview for me was like watching a Interview out of Hunger Games, but with the roles reversed.
At least in 1997 Parker was a pothead. Don't know what she's into now. (I pursued acting back then and got a role in a film with a friend of hers.)
This was so cringe. I don’t care if you don’t care for the interviewer. This is your job, grow up and be professional
The real shitty part is the reporter can’t biologically have children. So heartless on Blake.
Oh no. Just a thank you was all that was needed.
Blake had no idea just like the interviewer didn’t know how she would point out her body.
I've seen an interview from that interview in Popcorn Planet and she informs she is infertile. Blakes comment hurt her and she was confused bcs Blake was 8 months pregnant there and she already had announced she was pregnant.
Uf!
I understand she kept it quiet then but it would have been the best slap back ever. When Lively said well congratulations on your bump, to say well I am actually infertile so whatever you are looking at is not the same bump as yours. They would shut TF up right away
@@shailaprol6587she’s European and not all of them are comfortable with clapping back. Plus she was probably afraid she would be blacklisted.
So the interviewer wasn't pregnant too? Lively was just calling her fat?
@@nicolegallegos9145yes! So horrible 😤
Both of them were obnoxious to the interviewer
I think Blake's last comment was to say that if the interviewer did come out and say she was being mean that you couldn't believe everything you hear and that she is much more amazing than what the interviewer might say about her in that moment.
Even a hollow apology might have helped but to attack the interview again is abhorrent.
Thank you for bringing up Parker's behavior. Parker had the ability to control the situation and bring the interviewer back in but instead, she followed her lead. Not impressed
YASSSSSS!!
Exactly!
Parker was no better than Blake. She tried but knew who she should side with or her problems in Hollywood would escalate. I don’t think Parker is on the same level as Blake but my hunch is she’s not.
I think Parker tried to make a joke out of the “bump” comment though, I give her some credit.
This is the height of the “me too” movement and Scarlett Johanson had just confronted an interviewer for commenting on her undergarments she could or could not wear during Avengers movies while the men were not asked that. I think Blake was trying to ride that vibe and go viral for being brave or something.
Yes agree
Yes- and it backfired on her big time .
yeh, i was thinking about that too, but SJ handled it less reactively. There was a bit of humour in her remark. ''that's my question, diet?'' and there had been the comparison of a cast member right beside her who had just been asked a deeper question! It didn't make SJ look spikey rude or ungrateful (imo)
@@SusanaXpeace2u scarlet's response was valid. This was bullshit from Lively.
@@sarahtrerice1814 the movement started in oct 2017..this interview is from 2016..but Blake is still a witch
Lively seems toxic.
That’s why she doesn’t comment on the film on DV, she’s an abuser herself
She seems problematic in a way we haven't seen from her yet. But with all of these 'stars', it's just a matter of time before we see their true colors. The fact that her and Ryan have become the same person is problematic for the rest of us who weren't aware. This isn't going to end the way they want it to be.
@@karinetnr💯💯💯💯
She seems like the kind of person who would support an abuser because she doesn't have the emotional depth and awareness to understand what abuse can look like, especially when it's not physical !
She’s not even married and she is having kids. Oh boy. Get married First Lady.
Ryan left Scarlett Johansson for this mean girl bully.
I feel so bad for the interviewer they treated her like she’s a misogynistic man who was there to diminish their part in the production, while the interviewer was extremely polite and her questions were relevant. No excuse in my opinion for both Blake and Parker. Let’s say Blake was moody and pregnancy was taking a toll what’s Parker’s problem ? They have no right to treat a respectable member of the media like so nor make her feel like she’s making them uncomfortable when they are the one gaslighting the situation. They should both make a statement and apologize not just Blake. Their entitlement was outrageous and that face Parker made at the end like she’s not one the reasons of the awkward moments in the interview just shows how self absorbed Parker is.
Exactly!
I was thinking the same! It's like the interviewer was male and diminished their roll in the movie by talking about clothes.
@@MsMe99999999which wasn't even off topic because the movie takes place in the 1930s, obviously you would ask about the wardrobes. It seems very strange behaviour from somebody who has co-chaired the Met Gala for like 5 years in a row and has also made fashion such a large part of the current promotion of this film. Like make it make sense.
Misogynistic man? Lol wow
@@MD-supernovayes. That’s 💯 how Blake & Parker treated the interviewer as if that’s the intention she was coming in with. Blake’s big “mic drop” moment only made her look like an antagonistic asshole.
I was a big fan of Blake Lively as an actress...but after this interview I was disgusted, she came off very rude, mean girl. The interviewer didn't do anything wrong from what I could see. Blake owes a massive apology to the interviewer. Have no idea who Parker is. Ryan Reynold seems like such a cool dude...that I am surprised about her behavior.
One thing I will say that I find interesting is when Blake Lively starts talking about media perception and privacy, also how there's a certain image that's created. I always thought she was a pretty chill person, very fun. This interview changed my perception, especially as someone who did get bullied by the mean girls at school, there's no reason to put someone down.
Bad day- not a bad day, nothing justifies what happened here. Years ago I received one of the most painful news in my life and went to work. Catering for a wedding was not easy, but I gave my 100%, smiling to all the guest I had the pleasure to serve. Be professional and polite!
Blake wants to be an actress, but is rude to those who help her to promote her work???
Just Rude.
At the end you get the acknowledgement from Parker that this was a very stressful situation. I think shes relieved it was over and not dissing the interviewer at the end. Which means on the inside shes acknowledging Blake made the situation very stressful because the interviewer wasnt stressing anybody out. The only person relaxed here was Blake.
I actually think that Parker Posey was uncomfortable and tried to bridge the gap, she brought the focus on herself (her bump) to take it away from the shot thrown at the interviewer. She was trying to still be on the 'team mean girl', but saw the conflict, and tried to do it in a way that wouldn't alienate Blake. Parker, I feel like, is trying to manage Blake because Blake keeps referencing the 'interview' with little cheap shots, and she seems to realize that Blake is done with the interviewer and she is trying to get her to talk about the movie instead. We all know that Blake has thrown her co-stars under the bus, so she is being very careful to not be on the other side of her. Also her eye roll at the end was AWAY from Blake and I think she was like "wow, I am glad that situation is over", not towards the interviewer.
Yes! I completely agree with you. The way she had her hand on Blake as a pacifying gesture like, “calm down, I’m on your side” while she tries to engage the interviewer with a level of enthusiasm to keep the vibe upbeat. She doesn’t balance it well enough though - she still doesn’t actually look and involve the interviewer _enough_ so it just looks like she’s excited to gang up on someone.
I imagine that Blake is the sort of person to dominate you and have crazy expectations of her friends and peers, so they know full well what the consequences will be if they don’t fall in line. Like that poor girl she put all these ugly fling bracelets on at the ‘it ends with us’ premiere, the poor girl was grimacing at Blake’s styling and having to pretend to be excited.
Yea I was curious as to why Parker kept her hands on Blake’s chair o close to her so that makes sense what you said about her trying to manage her and not get on her bad side. It seemed as if she was trying to soothe Blake by being close without actually physically touching her or holding her hand.
No. She was a B. two
@@ingegaasbeek296too? Or two?
@@allisonshattuck9699Parker was actually petting a little white dog that was on Blake’s side. Someone finally figured out it wasn’t a fur throw next to Blake but an actual dog. That might have also been a nervous tick to pet the dog cuz she knows she was in a very awkward situation..
Blake and Parker BOTH behaved horribly.
I knew nothing about Blake before the movie came out. I have been busy over the last 15 years not paying attention to "stars", never knew who she was and what she played. All the interviews I have seen since the drama started, Blake comes across as a narcissistic person. Very uncomfortable to watch. The fact that she did to Baldoni the exact same thing she did to this interviewer speaks volumes.
This gave me such intense high school flashbacks. A controlling bully attacking a random person and pulling the seemingly also frightened classmate into condoning her aggression. This made me really anxious and uncomfortable.
Very much a mean girl that tries to come off as perfect and kind but really, she just thinks she's the absolute best when she's a narcissist.
Such the quintessential Virgo: perfectionism FAILED!
Blake isn't very smart. She never understands a question. That's why her answer about misconception went that way. She always throws out word salads. She is very shallow.
Her husband seems like he'd want to be with someone smart. Bet he regrets his choice.
Quintessential Virgo antics.
He is no prize either.
@@karaa7595he was married to Scarlett Johansson, prior to Blank
ScarJo is very smart and sexy.
I've seen a ton of comments (*on other videos) saying the interviewer was wrong for commenting on her body via "little bump" but "baby bump" is so common! It's not even about weight gain, it's a visible bump that represents your baby! Also I believe Seth Meyers said "I understand you're expecting another baby" and she said "what makes you say that?" so it kinda seems like, for whatever reason, Blake just hates everyone acknowledging her pregnancies without her bringing it up in conversation first.
Weird woman. She is known best as Reynold's wife because her body of work is largely unimpressive
She probably resented the fact that the baby was gonna change her beauty and hated the pregnancy
@@zah936I don’t know about that but I think she got rebuked almost from second one. She probably didn’t want her pregnancy to be acknowledged at all, and from that moment it went badly. Perhaps it wasn’t well known she was pregnant or at least she didn’t want to discuss it at all (which is fair, she doesn’t have to… she handled it badly after that and dug a bigger hole for herself as the interview progressed).
Then she shouldn't have made it public knowledge OR should have told the interviewer that any pregnancy talk or congratulations on air are off the table... Blake is a mean girl through and through.
@@caroleberreur9585she herself made it public knowledge before this interview took place.
Amazing physical-behavioral analysis, depending on the situation according to a behavioral baseline! I was impressed!
She became so full of herself bec she has a famous husband!!! If not for Ryan she doesn't really amount to anything
I have to agree. Her acting is subpar. I do admire her style choices but besides that, her cool factor has left the building for me.
@@mekyliemeShe looks Trixie from Lady and the Tramp.
@@mekylieme yes I love the way she dress!! But after her show and if Ryan didn't take notice of her she'll be just like her co stars like Lauren Conrad where is she??!!
@@mekylieme I can't stand her acting she always squints her eyes and blinks a lot!!
😂 i noticed blake way before her husband. didn’t you watch gossip girl…
Parker totally reminds me here of that girl who is nice and sweet to you when you get her on her own, but she gets sucked in by the mean girls whenever they're around. Growing up, I knew so many fairweather friends like that who were only nice to me when the "cool kids" weren't around to see
I just Googled the costumes. The house of Chanel designed fancy, period costumes that were a big deal at the time. Some people might have gone to see the movie just to see the Chanel designs.
Also, it's a movie, there are costumes depratments with people that work very hard and costumes are huge part of movies. BL seems to forget that movies do not revolve around actors only.
yet, she decided to play it a "victim". No wonder her movies don't do well.
I did
