Another past interview with Blake Lively is making headlines. HOLR breaks down the alleged claims amidst a legal battle with cast mate, Justin Baldoni.

A past interview with Blake Lively is currently going viral after it was reposted by Kjersti Flaa (here on YouTube), the same journalist who found herself in the midst of a social media storm last year when an interview she conducted with Lively received significant attention.

In that earlier conversation, Lively was criticized for her perceived dismissiveness toward Flaa, and now, another revealing interview from Lively has emerged, reigniting the conversation.

In the newly resurfaced clip, the actress opens up about her struggles with balancing her ambition and career aspirations with the expectations of others in the entertainment industry. Flaa details how Lively revealed certain things in this past interview. She seemingly claims Lively insinuates that she signs up for projects as an actress and then when she gets the part, she reportedly wants to have power over certain areas of the project (i.e. wardrobe, etc.).

In the clip that is going viral online, Lively revealed that during her time on set, she often felt as though her desire to take on more than just acting was often met with resistance from those around her. Lively further claimed that people allegedly “resented” her wanting to be more than an actress on set. She stated, on stage in the interview, that she would go into meetings and felt like she “needed to have authorship” to feel fulfilled. She alleged others would feel as if that was her seemingly pulling the rug from under them.

As noted, Lively went on to explain that she found fulfillment in the creative process and felt compelled to have a voice in the production beyond her acting role. However, she also claimed that her desire to take on a more authoritative role in the creative process was often met with resistance from her colleagues.

This interview has sparked renewed discussion about Lively’s career and her approach to her craft, especially in the context of the more recent drama surrounding her “It Ends With Us” co-star, Justin Baldoni. As the clip circulates, many are left reflecting on the actress’s quest for autonomy in the industry, following allegations that she allegedly took over the “It Ends With Us” film from Baldoni, who was also the film’s director.

Although this is a past interview- which was filmed before the “It Ends With Us” drama- the viral moment continues to fuel the debate about celebrity, power dynamics, and creative ownership. Lively has yet to comment on the alleged claims surrounding the statements she made in this interview.
