Overview
- Entertainment reporter Kjersti Flaa says a 2016 Café Society interview turned hostile when Blake Lively replied "Congrats on your little bump" and then spoke with co‑star Parker Posey instead of taking her questions.
- Flaa says she stayed quiet in the room because she feared being blacklisted by powerful publicists and losing future access to interviews.
- She says Lively never apologized after the clip resurfaced in 2024, and representatives for Lively and Posey did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
- Flaa was later subpoenaed in Lively’s legal fight with It Ends With Us co‑star and director Justin Baldoni, tying the old interview to the court case.
- That dispute ended in a settlement last week with no money exchanged, after a judge last month dismissed most of Lively’s claims and Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit was tossed in June 2025.
