Kjersti Flaa Opens Up About Viral 2016 Interview with Blake Lively: A Behind-the-Scenes Look

In an exclusive interview with TMZ, reporter Kjersti Flaa shared her personal experience and reflections on her 2016 interview with actress Blake Lively, which went viral for unexpected reasons. Flaa, known for her candid and engaging interview style, discussed how a seemingly innocuous comment sparked an unexpected reaction from Lively, who was eight months pregnant at the time.

During the interview, Flaa congratulated Lively on her pregnancy by mentioning her "little bump." What was intended as a friendly conversation starter took an unexpected turn when Lively responded in a way that Flaa found perplexing. Flaa recounted, "She was sitting there, I think she was probably eight months pregnant. It wasn't a small bump even, it was quite big. But I just wanted to say it in a kind of disarming way, congrats on your little bump. And I don't understand still why that is offensive. I find it a little offensive that she said it back to me, to be honest with you."

The exchange left Flaa feeling unsettled, as she questioned whether Lively's response implied that she herself had a bump. Flaa elaborated, "I was like, do I have a bump? Yeah, it was a strange behavior to me." Despite the awkward moment, Flaa expressed a hope for resolution, saying, "If she wants to apologize, that would be amazing. I think if you behave badly, if you own up to that and own it and say, I had a terrible day, I'm so sorry. And maybe she will learn something from that and not behave like that again."

While Flaa remains doubtful that an apology will be forthcoming, she maintains a positive outlook on the situation, welcoming any opportunity for Lively to acknowledge the incident. Flaa concluded, "Of course, that would be very welcoming. But I don't think it will happen though. I don't, I don't."
