The online criticism against Blake Lively appears to show no sign of stopping anytime soon, as she continues to promote her new film It Ends With Us. Now, old interviews with the star are resurfacing online as TikTok sleuther's seek to find any and all evidence that will fit the escalating narrative. One going the most viral is admittedly very awkward.

The video in question is with Norwegian journalist Kjersti Flaa, who interviewed Blake in 2016 with her co-star Parker Posey for the Woody Allen film, Café Society. She uploaded the eight year old clip to YouTube this week, titling it ‘The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job’ and shared that it was ‘the most uncomfortable interview situation I have ever experienced’.

In the four-minute-long chat, things became awkward as soon as Kjersti congratulated Blake on her baby bump (she was pregnant with daughter Inez, now seven) and then asked about the film’s period costumes. Blake and Parker then spoke amongst themselves, without acknowledging or looking at the interviewer. The actresses appear to roll their eyes and pull a face as Kjersti leaves, once her time is up.

Now, clips of the video are also being shared on TikTok as more viewers react to the viral moment. Blake Lively has not commented on the clip.
