Honestly, that interviewer just letting them ramble on without her was the smartest move. She didn’t attack them, she didn’t play victim, she let the audience see what these women are like.

[@Vasilia4]

It wasn't a conscious "move". She completely shut down because she was so thrown off by the bump comment. Imo she is not fit to be an interviewer. Yes Blake was rude and insufferable but Wendy or Oprah would have taken charge of the situation.

[@DavidKen878]

Yeah, sitting there looking like a fool, not speaking up for yourself is so smart. Didn't she say that interview almost made her quit? 😂😂

[@roseredremix]

I agree it was more revealing to allow them space to be seen. I found it more interesting than the overplayed "take charge" approach. Especially as the response to her innocuous questions was so unnecessarily rude and arrogant. Asking about costumes is totally appropriate in a movie. A charming person would have given spotlight to the designer who worked hard. But Blake was self absorbed.

[@lia-yk3ef]

@@Vasilia4 i don't think any of us has enough info about what happened behind the scene to determine whose the bully and whose the victim. even though blake had publically announced her pregnancy doesn't mean she was okay with people asking questions about it in press tours. during most celeb interview, they already discuss what questions they could ask and what they couldn't. who knows if her pregnancy was in the 'no' list and she found the interviewer's congratulation a sneaky move to get her to discuss her pregnancy

[@llamasugar5478]

Lively is a producer of the movie, as well as the female lead. Her co-producer, Justin Baldoni, is cast as the male lead (a/k/a villain). Baldoni is all about the message: shedding light on DV. He’s said many times “Don’t romanticize my character. He is a bad person.” Baldoni actually assigned a female scriptwriter to some of the scenes because he wanted them to be seen “through a woman’s eyes.” *These scenes were rewritten by Ryan Reynolds* at his wife’s request-without telling Baldoni.

[@Orquet-qj2nf]

Baldoni needs a medal. Reynolds needs a kick in the pants. Lively needs to be put on an island in between her public appearances to reduce air pollution.

[@helenarichard]

I also love how Baldoni is covering his ass hard by staying positive about Blake (almost cynicaly) and staying on the topic of DV which is what Blake is not doing. So he hits two birds in one stone. He can stay away from anything Blake is doing and look like a great guy.

[@lolaBee9]

If that's true about the scene I have to say I've lost some respect for Ryan. And Blake honestly. As a woman she should be able to understand the value of a woman's point of view for certain scenes but maybe she let him because she hasn't acted in awhile and he's killing it rn? It also brings to mind their 11 year age gap. They could have that kind of dynamic going on period But honestly it just feels like they see this as another movie and not the project to bring awareness that it should be

I think the “drama” is the stark comparison to how her co-star Justin is marketing the movie. He’s doing a better job at making it about the seriousness of DV and he plays the abuser. Whereas Blake’s media tour is more tone deaf and about her, her clothes/products, and her husband’s success. Is it CRIMINAL? No. Tacky? Sure.

[@GrapevineTexas111]

N dragging ur co-star down because everyone is questioning her Tone deaf attitude........is Lowest of the Lowest. EDIT : some are confused down in the comment,that I'm blaming Justin, but I'M NOT. EXPLANATION: Blake is having Tone deaf attitude during her interview n that's why everyone is raising their eyebrows,but instead of correcting & changing her attitude, her PR team is trying make Justin look like a Fat shammer and a creep and that is "lowest of the lowest".

[@nadirmachadogoncalves7066]

Spot on

[@danifaja87]

I’m a DV attorney. DV is still a huge issue in today’s society. What many people don’t understand is that DV is a cycle and it takes the average survivor 7-8 tries before getting out. Many survivors don’t realize they are in abusive relationships bc “this could never happen to me” or “he loves me” or “s/he’s sorry so it won’t happen again” or a million other reasons. The book is based on DV as is the movie. Justin Baldoni has been very passionate about bringing awareness to these issues and even bought the rights to the book. The only serious convo I’ve seen surrounding DV has come from Baldoni. The time when a survivor decides to leave is the deadliest and there are cases we label high mortality bc the person is still in the cycle and the abuse is so severe that the person is likely to not survive. The issues people have are that it was an opportunity to bring awareness to DV but it seems Blake Lively and her husband took over w/Ryan even rewriting some of the scenes during the writer’s strike, there were two cuts of the film (one was Blake’s and one was Justin’s), and that the movie is being promoted as a romcom and not a dv film (it can be very triggering walking in and not knowing it’s about dv). The question directed to Blake about how she’d react to DV survivors approaching her was valid and her response was distasteful. Baldoni has said he hoped it would bring awareness to DV and that maybe some viewers would recognize that the relationship they were in wasn’t the best and leave. I interpreted the question as serious- like hey, what’s the best way people can tell you that you’ve impacted them? There’s a lot more to this but I think people being angry is very valid. Edit: I also want to add that in my experience, DV is sometimes generational. I’ve worked with survivors who simply didn’t realize they were in a DV situation. Why? Bc their parents, grandparents, aunts, etc were also in DV situations so for the individuals I’ve had the opportunity to work with, it was “normal.” It took them seeing/reading something or someone telling them something for them to realize what they were experiencing was not “normal” nor healthy. This movie/promos/Blake/etc very much had the opportunity to be that “something” for some but they strayed from the topic and portrayed it as a romcom to be watched with your best florals. 🫤

[@BabyColinRobinson]

Thank you!!

[@gnostic268]

Thank you so much!!! DV survivor. Blake is very definitely miscast in this role, imo

[@pinagrrrr2280]

There is the plantation wedding, Blake defending Weinstein, there is fat shaming woman who can’t have a children.. there is this hair line promotion instead of DV. There is the fact that Blake is terrible actress and nepo that never worked and now she is bulling Justin.

[@lapayasastay3677]

Having someone that has seen this much experiences in the matter explaining the trouble of the experience and how to "see it coming" (I'm trying hard this ain't my first language sorry if anything sounds rude) is what we really need. I believe that if we made documentarie based true crimes or even just an overall documentary about this kind of topic famous instead of this movies that very often miss the point we could have better awareness on this topics and prevent a decent amount of situations. Documentaries get you closer to reality. series and films make you feel like it's fiction.

[@punkybrewstar83]

​@@CatsAreAliens00Nobody assumed. She had announced it already & was 8 months pregnant 🙄 I don't think talking about people's bodies in regard to pregnancy is fair or good though. But it's also really common practice. Blake could have actually addressed that politely in a constructive way. She could have said, " hey, I'm excited about my pregnancy, but can we try & not talk about people's bodies in regard to pregnancy- same goes for touching pregnant women. I know that you had no ill intention, & people normally don't, but as a society we have normalized this & it would be good if we thought about why. Anyway- yes- very excited about my pregnancy, thank you." I know it's a short interview, but Blake found the time to ramble on about all sorts of off-topic things.

[@kunya16]

The "fat shaming" was him asking his trainer how much she weighed so that he could practice with proper form due to back issues he has. Doesn't want to permanently injure his back. She also said he lingered during a kissing scene. A scene she directed and told him exactly what to do. He wanted only the women to direct all intimate scenes. So if he kissed too long that's on her.

[@JordanAlaine]

Honestly as someone who’s experienced abuse, this movie is for people who HAVEN’T so they can understand and empathise with victims- that’s why Blake’s “look at my dress” and “wear your florals girlies” marketing style is rubbing me the wrong way. She made zero effort to understand her own character.

[@krireshin]

Ok, but honest question, do you think her going out and promoting it as a gut wrenching film about abuse and DV would actually get people to watch it? You have to sell it in a way that makes people want to watch. Most people want to escape with movies, so sadly sometimes the best way to get people to watch a movie with a difficult theme is to make it sound more uplifting. I don't think Blake is doing anything that a producer wouldn't tell her to do. It's not being out of touch, it's trying to market a film that is inherently difficult to sell to people

[@gnostic268]

I can't stand Blake Lively and imo she was miscast because she and hubby Ryan Reynolds are so constantly on an unending PR campaign to convince everyone that they're more talented, more cute, more loveable, more in-demand than they will ever actually be. It's giving Old Hollywood Studios vibes reminiscient of the fake couples and fake stories that were part of the illusion of the Golden era of the movie industry. Blake is a nepo baby who has had a lot of plastic surgery and married Scarlett Johansen's ex. Where is the thrill factor. I'm a DV survivor too and I don't believe in exploiting such a serious topic.

[@JordanAlaine]

@@krireshin I do understand what you’re saying but she can still make it more marketable without being so self centred- how does her hair care products or wearing Britney Spears dress really help sell more tickets? As a comparison, I think of the series “Maid” the miniseries on Netflix and how that dominated the charts without needing fluffy marketing to make it more digestible. We don’t give the general public credit for actually wanting to watch movies/tv shows with more depth.

[@Diana-fg2vy]

Or maybe thats the point you're not just this thing that happened to you , you're more then that. Its called growing up and understanding nuance.

@@Diana-fg2vy Or maybe don’t try to speak on how people should feel? “Growing up” has nothing to do with it. You don’t just grow out of trauma.

[@JH-kw8zy]

As someone who has finally gotten out of a DV relationship I hated the book. The abuse doesn't start until much later. That's an important point to make bc "Why would they stay? Who wouldn't leave at the first hit?" Julia Roberts summed it up in an interview for "Sleeping with the Enemy" (1991) after saying "I've never been through this and it's unimaginable but I have learned that it's not that simple. It happens slowly over time and is very psychological." That is the most damning contrast. She says this in the early 90's when we barely understood we had a brain and memories made us! (I'm exaggerating but DV has an element of mental illness and that wasn't a thing back then)

Which put a bad taste in Baldonis mouth. Also, she had Ryan re-write (and they re-recorded) scenes without telling the original writer, and she didnt tell the writer - the writer found out at the first showing. Also people dont like how she is making it the blake show (about her hair product) rather than focusing on the movie.

@@B.Harper7 yes and I am simply voicing my opinion that I think it would be better if we didn’t care about celebrity opinions on heavy subjects like DV or politics or insert whatever it is we are hearing their opinions on. I just want to see a good movie. I don’t want to know if the actor tips their waitress, who they prefer to vote for or what their advice for victims is mainly because hey, they are actors, not therapists. Perhaps the reason why we get stupid responses from them is because they are just actors trying to say what they think will make them likeable in the current sociopolitical environment rather than just talking about what they know which is acting. Furthermore, the point I was making is that if we went back to not caring about all this we wouldn’t care about this “news story” (I use the term news very lightly) and could just enjoy or criticise the film and her acting (you know, the stuff that actually is her job).

Like she could have very easily said “here are some help lines you can contact, visit this website, please talk to a professional” (even taking it as an opportunity to talk about her charity)and left it at that rather than being sarcastic and snarky, especially when talking about such a sensitive topic. She really should have gotten some kind of media prepping or training for this film, given the content and the critique surrounding the author.

[@KrisRN23935]

Parasocial relationships and people not being able to tell fiction from reality, nothing more. It's beyond mad. But to be expected since a lot of people don't trust actually police and therapists (it's understandable why, but still sad and ultimately not a good idea to avoid them in favor of an actor). At least Mariska has been doing this for long enough to know the impact of the roll and using her resources to get them to people who are more likely to be helpful. But to expect that from Blakely Lively doing the same for a one off roll, that will probably be forgotten in a few months? That seems ridiculous.

[@once.upon.a.time.]

I think it would be better to "ignore" the dark themes in promotion. Just like in many instances of DV, it doesn't start out rocky, it starts out sweet and then slowly sucks you in and twists your reality. Not to mention CoHo romanticized DV anyway so it's not like the source material is a shining example of representation. It's all about sales anyway, how many people would go willingly to a movie about DV vs going thinking it were a simple romance? Mainstream movies are made for the masses.

[@Littlelikeme92]

Once when I was in high school a woman that I babysat for asked me if I was pregnant. My boyfriend of 2 years has broke up with me and I became depressed and gained weight. I had previously been 110 pounds. I was extremely self conscious about it on top of being a depressed high schooler. I told her “No, I’m just fat.” It made her feel bad and I didn’t even have to make a hurtful comment about HER body even though I easily could have. We can’t control what people say. But we can control how we respond. Having said that, Blake had announced her pregnancy and the interviewer was trying to casually congratulate her then Blake not only body shamed her but also reminded her publicly of the painful reality that she can never actually become pregnant all while Blake was on her 3rd(???idfk) pregnancy.

[@Kitty-f7v]

I’m a DV survivor myself. What made me finally leave and save myself was exactly what Blake mentioned: the realisation that I am more than a DV victim. That I am loving, creative, free spirited and happy person who likes to laugh, who loves animals and art. The thought that all of this still existed underneath the abuse and there was one way to uncover it - to save myself and leave. Blake was spot on and people need to stop acting like the universe revolves around them and their point of view. Regarding 04:44 and the interviewer asking Blake about how can people get hold of her if they want some advice regarding DV. Of course this was her answer. She’s literally an actress: not a police officer, not a DV charity worker nor a therapist. An actress playing a role. We don’t even know if she experienced DV herself or was ever exposed to it in any way. Do people ask Daniel Craig how to become an MI6 spy or Chris Evans how to join Avengers? Btw, I am not a Coleen Hoover fan, I read one book (it wasn’t “it ends with us”) and I do not want to interact with any of her work of work-adjacent products ever again. I don’t really feel any kind of way about Blake.

And there were apparently also creative differences (from what I read, she commissioned her own edit of the movie because she didn't like his - not sure which one ended up getting released). And he still follows her on social media but apparently she and some of their co-stars have unfollowed him? And they haven't done any interviews together during promo.

I just...

Come the f' on. There is no one out there that considers DV as an everyday, normal occurrence and even the people who do aren't going to change because of a cheesy movie telling them that said thing is bad. And getting mad she only gives surface level answers about DV is just plain stupid imo. What is she supposed to say? She isn't in an abusive relationship, how is she supposed to speak about a topic she knows very little about? I personally prefer people who refrain from addressing something they know nothing about. I'm not her biggest fan either and I get it, she f'ed up the marketing for it, she's a little too in love with herself and somewhat mean, but this level of attention and discussion over some celebrity's bull is next level. And P.S. People that have been abused are not looking towards this movie as some sort of bible, some groundbreaking study in human behavior/ personalized map towards happiness in a similar situation... I'll even wager to say they will not be seeing it at all because, in general, when you want to enjoy yourself with a movie you aren't going to turn towards the one that will trigger you the most.

She was iconic. And I truly think Parker Posey was so uncomfy that she was just doing what actors do and trying to bring levity to an awkward situation. She wasn’t being a mean girl with Blake.

[@SocialWorkerGene]

If Blake Lively didn't want to talk about DV, then she shouldn't have starred in and directed a movie about DV - If she wanted to star in and direct a romcom then she should have DIRECTED AND STARRED IN A DAMN ROMCOM. Defending this by using feminism as a shield clearly doesn't understand that feminism isn't meant to defend a rich, successful white woman of her trivialization of DV. As someone who has spent their entire career working with folks who have experiences intimate partner violence, I can't imagine a worst way to bring such an important topic to the mainstream. In contrast, Justin has been very open in the past (and during this press tour) about the responsibility they have to properly produce/direct/film/market this movie.

[@Bunn.B]

The amount of women (and other people, but mostly women) calling other women jealous and bitter of "beautiful and sweet-as-pie Blake" for being critical of her, a ton of them in this comment section too, is interesting to say the least. You aren't allowed to say anything bad about a wealthy, young, white nepotism woman who's had amazing backing from her wealthy husband's PR firm.

[@tarotreadingsbysteven8545]

Ok but WTF does race have to do with it?

[@KrisRN23935]

Honestly, I'd rather the media stopped asking out of touch celebrities they're thoughts. They're job is to act, why are we expecting them to advocate for things they have no real knowledge or experience on? And for a one off part in a single movie (that's probably going to be mediocre and forgotten in a few years or months anyway)? It's ridiculous. Give the interviews and airtime to experts and people who have actually experience, if that happens to be a famous person, fine, but that's rare. Most of them are very sheltered and vapid. Their job is to APPEAR to have depth, not to actually have it. Just watch their movies or shows or whatever and forget about this extra bull. If there's no demand for Celebrity gossip and interviews, eventually they'll stop covering it. I'm Only here because I like Michelle being the voice of reason (and her snarkiness of course).

[@nathanielbacon2661]

"The Lady" in the seat next to Blake is icon Parker Posey. I think she was trying to difuse an awkward situation with her strange brand of humour. But nothing was going to stop that weird shitstorm from feeling awkward.

You are sensible. I watched that interview "that made me want to quit my job," and got pissed off and wrote a Blank Deadly comment on the terrible rudeness.. But in a matter of minutes, I deleted it, because who cares? Poor anyone who gets publicly vilified by the internet. I wanna be proportionately engaged in life, and this gossip is irrelevant. I like how you handled it all. And it was a little lesson in how we get triggered by jerks online, and it's just too easy to believe it's any of our business.

[@alexxC37]

How stupid. I don’t like this woman and didn’t know her name till now. But expecting her to be anything more than an actress is a mistake. She plays pretend for a living. It’s not her job to be an expert on dv or a champion of survivors. The question about how fans should reach her is especially stupid. Call a dv hotline, call the police, talk to a therapist… but calling an actress shouldn’t even be on the list. People are just looking for someone to be angry at.

[@Tishy366]

Listening to her makes my ears throb. Has someone ever bored you so much that you got mad at them? I end up breaking down in tears during a conversation with her just wanting her to be quiet.

At first I was like no way she would react like that for no reason, maybe the reporter was being mean/offensive and Blake wasn't actually pregnant. But no..... It was Blake being vile for no reason? In response to a congrats??

[@hothoneymustard]

Personally I think it was kinda tactless but Blake was extremely rude.

[@sweetagain]

@@hothoneymustard I'm genuinely not understanding what's wrong with congratulating someone on their baby bump to be honest. I see a lot of people in the comments saying what the reporter said was rude but I truly don't get it? I agree though, even if I'm missing something and the reporter was in the wrong for whatever reason, that response from Blake was still very weird lol

[@sarahjones4364]

While I think Blake's response was rude, the reporter's comment was very snarky. I would never tell a woman congratulations on her "bump"... the intent there is clear. It's obviously not in good taste, if not downright mean. I think this was a "you get what you give" situation; however, Blake is the one in the spotlight and her career is impacted by public opinion, so watching her words and responses is a part of her actual job.

[@ilovenycsomuch]

@@sarahjones4364 I don’t think the interviewer said it to intentionally be mean, I think she just phrased it weirdly.

[@jenniferhaas9731]

I just think the interviewer was bad. She didn't do her research. She insulted her guest first off. She didn't ask a single original question. I have seen other female actresses (Scarlett Johnson comes to mind) get upset about wardrobe/fashion questions. It's comes off a little sexist, I guess. I don't really get it since fashion is a female dominated industry, but what do I know. It's probably tiring answering the same questions again and again. As for the DV, I have been a victim of it with 2 partners. If you don't know, you don't know. She may not know what that's like. Or maybe she does and hasn't dealt with it on her own. Either way she is playing a role and that dosnt make her a spokesperson for it. We don't know her journey and it's so unfair to assume. Could she have been more tactful? Sure but how do we know it's not a deflection of her own experience. I say that cause in that one clip where she's being kinda flippant about it she sounds like me when I don't want to talk about it. And that guy (my abuser) almost killed me. I don't think it's right for anyone to judge on such short interviews. Maybe she is callous. But then again maybe she isnt...

[@wax9362]

[@fakshen1973]

I don't really have any judgment of her. She just seems a little awkward in interviews. Some people are. That's 100% okay. What I do think is that there are a lot of people that dislike her because she's Ryan Reynold's wife and the advantages that can be had but not necessarily taken. I think she needs to fire her publicist and find someone who is better at prepping and educating their clients.

[@carolallison9685]

They definitely handled the plantation thing wrong. Look, slavery is a terrible part of our history, but we still need to learn the history. I live in the south. These places are historical landmarks and they are very sensitive to the history, and do a pretty good job of teaching that history. We went to one place and the tour was very informative about the horrors of slavery, and they were very upfront and honest about the history of the property. Im glad i brought my three kids because it taught them so e things they didn't know, and opened up conversation on the drive home. I got to teach them about how horrible slavery was, but also about how these people who were enslaved were the real heros of our history. The two of them could have used it as more of a learning experience instead of a "celebrating on the backs of slaves" experience.

[@Emma-se5wm]

Agreed. I grew up in the south and we visited a former plantation on a field trip where we learned about the evils of slavery and also what happened in that area during the Civil War. Plus we also learned about the manufacturing and agriculture of that region and that plantation's economical role for the area, but it was emphasized that the success was built upon the cruelties of slavery and life was cruel in that era. I remember being an elementary school kid and just so, so sad at seeing the "living accommodations" that forced many people together and getting upset at hearing how kids would be separated from their parents (and since we were a young field trip, we weren't even learning about the forced assaults, the most severe torture, etc.) Many of these former plantations function as educational sites and also offer events because renting the space for events helps keep the educational and maintenance employees paid. There is a lot more money in event planning than historical tourism, sadly, and many public school systems in the south are routinely cutting budgeting that covers field trips, so it makes sense for some. I DO think it's gross that there are former plantations that have entirely rebranding to glamorous options like fancy B&Bs or exclusively wedding sites without offering educational options (a few half assed plaques don't really count) because to me, that is some mercenary whitewashing of the decades of slavery that allowed that property to prosper and endure.
