Blake Lively is continuing to face online backlash over her alleged ‘mean girl’ behavior as yet another ‘hard to watch’ interview has resurfaced.
Clips of Lively seemingly getting ‘triggered’ by a reporter’s questions during an October 2017 interview with DP/30 have been making the rounds on TikTok.
At the time, she was promoting her thriller film All I See Is You — a role that was a clear diversion from her Gossip Girl legacy.
Things between Lively and the interviewer seemed to get tense when he asked her to share what types of roles she hopes to take on ‘in the next five years.’
‘Do you feel free to try everything?’ the reporter asked.
Lively — who called her Gossip Girl castmates ‘monkeys’ in an unearthed interview — looked taken aback by the question and, after appearing to roll her eyes, replied: ‘What does that mean?’
Stumbling over his words, the reporter clarified that he was asking if she would be willing to step out of her comfort zone by doing something new onscreen.
‘I mean, apparently, you’re not gonna sing if you [don’t] think you could sing,’ he quipped.
Lively quickly reminded the reporter that she ‘does sing’ in All I See Is You.
Looking disappointed, she then sarcastically asked the reporter he ‘saw the movie’ before agreeing to interview her.
‘I did see the movie,’ he insisted.
Lively then shot a look to someone offscreen before smirking and telling the reporter: ‘We’re gonna give you a pop quiz at the end [of this interview].’
‘There can be a pop quiz of every minute of it,’ he replied with a nervous laugh.
In another part of the nearly 40-minute interview, Lively can seen exhibiting closed off body language as she sits with her arms crossed while speaking at length about being a ‘shy person.’
She claimed to have ‘lived’ on film sets growing up and that the acting classes she took ‘[her] whole life’ helped her break out of her shell.
