Blake Lively, the daughter of Ernie Lively, is best known for her role in “Gossip Girl” and other popular movies. She has faced many questions from reporters that have left her feeling frustrated.
Recently, an interview she gave to New York magazine in 2008 has resurfaced, bringing back memories of a moment when she reacted strongly to a reporter’s question about her rumored relationship with her co-star, Penn Badgley.

During that interview, Lively was discussing a kissing scene with actor Alan Arkin and made a lighthearted joke about him being an “upgrade” from her co-stars, Chace Crawford and Penn Badgley.
When the conversation shifted to her personal life and potential romance with Badgley, Lively responded curtly, saying, “I thought this was New York magazine. I thought you were classy.”
This old interview has gained attention again due to recent controversies involving Lively and her “It Ends With Us” co-star, Justin Baldoni.

According to Pagesix, Baldoni asked a trainer about Lively’s weight before filming a scene where he needed to lift her, as he was concerned about a previous back injury. Lively, who had recently given birth to her fourth child, reportedly felt “bothered” by the comment and considered it body-shaming.
The kiss between Lively and Baldoni went viral, and many memes have since been created about them. Lively had to face several questions. She very upset because of the questions, because of which she made an insensitive comment to a reporter, “bump”.
The journalist, Kjersti Flaa, later revealed that she was infertile, making Lively’s remark particularly hurtful.
“To be honest, it hurts because I obviously wasn’t pregnant. And I could never get pregnant,” Flaa, 51, told the Daily Mail last Friday. “So to me, that comment was like a bullet.”
Every celebrity always tries to hide his personal life to avoid facing various questions.
