Blake Lively should not have played that character this role was too deep for her.

[@celestialtres]

Agreed. And it's like hardly anyone dares to broach the seriousness of the subject because she's so flippant about it. She had the opportunity to show her compassionate and empathic nature by not glazing over Domestic Violence but instead she stays quiet until she can burst with happiness over something frivolous. You are right, she's not that deep. More like disgustingly fake.

Wow, Blake tried to stop him from even mentioning DV or Justin Baldoni’s character!!! I’ve never seen an actor or actress try to erase the discussion about another MAJOR character to punish and erase the actor who plays him. This is a level of narcissism from a celebrity that is shocking. And the actor in this interview looks scared of Blake. In fact ALL of the other actors look scared of Blake in interviews. Her representatives need to tell her that this behavior will not age well. Taylor should be a real friend and tell her!!!

[@BarkleyMoon]

Wow Justin actually bought the rights to the movie and was the director. Yet, he isn’t mentioned, because she doesn’t like him and he’s not in any of the interviews although he is the LEAD actor. She’s a piece of work.

[@dionnebennett5455]

Maybe she is confusing the power Ryan Reynolds, her husband has in Hollywood, which is a lot, with her own creative authority. People, especially actors, are afraid of Ryan because he has the power to destroy careers so they are afraid of her as his wife. That actor looks terrified. Even Gayle looks perplexed by what she is observing. Blake deserves real credit as a producer & the director has acknowledged that in interviews, but she was not the writer or director. Ryan & Blake are trying to ruin the director Justin Baldoni. Let’s see what happens the next time he tries to direct a movie. Will they sabotage him like they are doing now? They may succeed, which is really a shame.

Blake is not a very generous person. She always wants to talk first. The interviewer isn't even finished with her question, and blakes mouth already goes wide open, just to already let everyone know she wants to speak first. She also talks very long often, not giving the others room to speak too. She also fills in the answers for the other co-actors sometimes. She is desperate to talk, to hear herself talk. I also noticed her co-actors already sit back with a question, not even trying to answer first, because they just know that Blake wants to talk, and they let her, even tho it obviously annoys them (seen in other interviews) - also, she talks about Lily Bloom as if the character is the invention of the century. Relax kid. There has been absolutely more powerful characters than your Lily with her flowershop. And when her co-star starts to talk about the real message behind the movie, she seems both annoyed and bored. It's all over her face

[@dionnebennett5455]

Why didn’t Gayle mention or ask about Intimate Partner Violence? It was bizarre. Justin Baldoni, the director & other lead, addresses it in EVERY interview, which I think is less manipulative & more respectful to the audience. Then to have the actor who plays Atlas just mumble repeat things that the director said in PREVIOUS interviews was also bizarre. Did they tell Gayle not to say the words Domestic Violence? Why did she agree? She’s usually a very thoughtful interviewer, What is going on here?

[@tlc4701]

And Blake Lively is a big bully!!!!

[@Chamsiee]

I watched it 20 minutes ago. And I can't believe she talked this way on her promotion tour. There are so many things to say about this movie, especially because her character wasn't beaten by her father. However she saw her father abuse her mum and boyfriend. And then, it impacted her as an adult. It is so out of touch that she didn't address it. Her character is not about dark or white as she describes it, she is a victim first that finds the courage to leave. But she is a victim first, not just a resilient woman

[@donnadea3081]

The guy speaking gives me the first inkling the movie is about DA. Prior to him speaking, there was a lot of talking about nothing.

Whoa. The guy who played Atlas just repeated everything the director & other lead Justin Baldoni said in EARLIER interviews. Almost word for word.

AND Justin Baldoni shared info about DV organizations.

[@ataipe5]

Why is everyone interviewing her? They need to interview the actual director - Justin!

[@SnowLeopardForever]

She was the Executive Producer. Which means she had a lot of control over the making of it. People think a director would have more control but a producer gets the money to make it. It all depends on what each person did. The director might have just directed it. While Lively did much more which she did in this case.

[@user-rc2xs5ti2w]

[@julianacardona4808]

Blake is so far from the point of the movie!! And yes they can have "creative differences" but not include him in the promotion even the movie poster, erase him from the interviews just avoiding the topic and making Blake the "Creative force" behind this is so beyond ridiculous. He cast her for the role, he is the director who gave you so much respect and space... she thinks because she and her funny husband, came with money and influence she deserve all of the praise. Sorry but people is not dumb.

Like what are we seeing?

[@bridgetcurrie8300]

Highly recommend looking into Justin Baldoni, the actor who played Ryle. Beyond being an amazing person and long-time activist for other things, he seems to be the only one who's stayed true to the theme of this story and promoted awareness of domestic violence. Disappointed that others are not doing the same and are instead treating this like a RomCom. It's not at all aligned to the theme of this story, and it feels really dismissive to domestic violence victims and the issues around DV. Knowing Baldoni, his history, and the way he seems to be handling this "tension" or disagreement (whatever it was), it's very clear he is the only one staying true to what this movie should be centered on and also fully educating himself on it, especially with his collaboration and advocacy for non-profits (No More) involved with domestic violence.

Obviously, Blake has never experienced DV first or second hand. You can tell she is just doing her best to relate to the character as best she can but it's clear she doesn't understand the gravity of her character in the real life world. It's like asking someone to know what it it's like to have a disability or disease they never had and them having to pretend they get it because they're supposed to.

[@user-me4wv7kb4j]

Wow…Blake couldn’t stand Brandon talking about the male characters and had to interrupt.

[@celina4166]

I feel like she and her acting are not right for this movie I feel like she always acts the same way i think she always acts like Serena she is not really able to portray different roles ..

[@soniat360]

KZbinrs and TikTokers all say Blake makes the movie sound like a RomCom and talks about everything except the real topic in the movie: Domestic Violence. Thin interview confirms that.

[@sandragordon6125]

Blake Deadly clearly doesn’t care about the primary focus of the book/movie. She only cares about the aesthetics of the movie, the music choices, and ostensibly herself. Lawd I love her co-star’s subtle reactions to her incessant and narcissistic drivel🤣 The not so subtle reactions in other interviews are HILARIOUS! Way to go Dead Lily and Bloom Pool!

[@Sincerely_SweetAesthete]

They should have offered the role to minka kelly. She already has proven she can play deep roles from a you g age, and just read her book. Wow. I cried.

[@sarahchetty4580]

I loved the movie they were all amazing😊

[@sasakorosec7213]

Who is director? Justin. BLAKE stop pretending. I wont watch no film of your. I dont support toxicvpeople

[@sally9852]

She repeats these same answers in many interviews like exactly the same words .. weird

[@jenniferstalcup]

I pray that rude Blake Lively doesn’t ruin football games this season. What a mean, classless person she and the other unknown, Parker, were to this seemingly very nice reporter.

[@samanthaleigh805]

I’m surprised Taylor didn’t just let them play her song without there being an expense. Is that not how it works though?

Love Me Some Brandon Sklenar

[@Poised_Penelope]

Watching this interview, I would have no idea what this movie is about. Sounds like promotion for a romcom or light romantic drama.

How do you sit gor 7+ minutes to talk about a movie about DV but yet, you don't mention DV 🤔 Lord please make it make sense 😅

[@SanphyPhillip-h9x]

They look so cute

[@gennyv9915]

Justin Baldoni is great too, in the movie.

[@EclecticBlues]

Where's Justin!

[@Jjf-ep3mf]

Never realized how beautiful Blake is…Ryan is a lucky man ❤

[@Fernando-fr5cu]

Blake really messed up this great opportunity to bring awareness to DV.

Who oemembers the Farrah Fawcett domestic violence movie The Burning Bed"?

[@dionnebennett5455]

I remember. It changed the entire cultural conversation about Domestic Violence. Farah Fawcett gave an extraordinary performance. The greatest of her career.
