The situation became even more uncomfortable as Lively shifted her attention to co-star Parker Posey on her left, seemingly ignoring Flaa in front of her, despite Posey\u2019s attempts to include her in the conversation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\">After uploading the video to YouTube, Flaa, who \u201chadn\u2019t read up on all the other controversy\u201d surrounding Lively and her new movie, shared <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MuCyRA4XAyo?si=70h50HlNgrxO6R4c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">another video on her channel<\/a> explaining why she chose to release the \u201chorrific\u201d interview.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">\u201cIt affected me for a while because it made me nervous when interviewing other people after that. I blamed myself for a long time, feeling like I did or said something wrong,\u201d Flaa confessed.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe title=\"The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F2-2RBi1qzY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">She recounted meeting another reporter who had experienced a negative interaction with a different celebrity but had the tape confiscated.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">\u201cThey confiscated his tape after the interview, and he wondered if something similar had ever happened to me,\u201d Flaa shared. \u201cI told him about the horrible interview I had with Blake Lively and [said] that I never wanted to share it with anyone because the experience had traumatized me so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">Flaa revealed in an interview with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-13750309\/blake-lively-interview-kjersti-flaa-bump-comment-ends-movie.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><em>Daily Mail<\/em> <\/a>that as someone who is infertile, Lively\u2019s comment left her \u201calmost paralyzed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-10\">\u201cTo be honest, it hurts because I obviously wasn\u2019t pregnant, and I could never get pregnant, so to me, that comment was like a bullet,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-11\">In her recent video, Flaa remarked on the overwhelming support she has received from thousands of people sharing their own experiences with \u201cmean-girl energy\u201d or feeling \u201cleft out or bullied.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-12\">\u201cThank you from the bottom of my heart.
