Lively (36) has found herself under scrutiny from fans who have criticised the actor’s approach to marketing her new film about domestic violence, It Ends With Us , for being “insensitive” and “tone-deaf”.
Amid the criticism from fans, journalist Kjersti Flaa posted a clip of a 2016 interview with the star, which she said made her “want to quit” her job. The Independent has contacted a representative of Lively’s for comment. The video, which was shared to YouTube, has amassed more than 2.
3 million views. Flaa was met with support from viewers who agreed that Lively, who was then 28 years old, was “rude” to the journalist during the sit-down. We need your consent to load this Social Media content.

In a new interview with TMZ, Flaa said she would welcome an apology from Lively, but said she thought that was unlikely to happen. “If she wants to apologise, that would be amazing,” she said.
“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.’ Maybe she will learn something from that and not behave like that again. Of course, that would be very welcomed.
