The reporter who was on the wrong end of Blake Lively's 'shocking' behavior in a viral 2016 interview has spoken out.

Lively is currently doing the media rounds to promote her latest flick It Ends With Us.

But after reporter Kjersti Flaa shared her own 'nightmare' interview with Lively back in 2016, the star has been slammed online.

Norwegian journalist Flaa shared the interview on her YouTube channel, saying how Lively made her 'want to quit my job' in the video's title.

The journalist captioned the video: "Sitting down with Blake Lively and her co star Parker Posey for Café Society (2016) is the most uncomfortable interview situation I have ever experienced.

"Is it not ok to congratulate someone on their pregnancy or to ask another woman about costumes she is wearing in a film?"

The interview got off to an incredibly awkward start as Flaa began by congratulating Lively on her recent pregnancy announcement and 'little bump'.

Bizarrely, Lively responded with 'congrats on your little bump', which led to confusion all round.

Speaking on the PopCorned Planet YouTube video channel recently, Flaa confirmed she was not pregnant at the time of the interview.

The extremely awkward interview wasn't done there though, as the journalist asked Lively and Posey whether they loved wearing their period costumes in the 1930s set film.

However, Lively quickly responded: "Everyone loves to talk about the clothes but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes?"

The interview has gone viral in recent days, with Flaa herself speaking out on the encounter.

In a post to her Instagram Story, the journalist wrote: "Thank you to all you wonderful people out there who have sent me so many messages with support after I posted this interview. I am truly touched."

Flaa has also appeared on the Popcorned Planet YouTube channel, where the interview was the hot topic of conversation.

The journalist admitted the chat was 'not a nice thing to do' as she quickly realized Lively was in a 'bad mood'.

"She didn’t want to be there and she didn’t want me to be there," the journalist added.

She went on: "I was just feeling let this be over as soon as possible so I can leave this room because it was so uncomfortable.

"It was kind of an out of body experience, I couldn't really grasp what was happening.

"I went through my mind, 'What did I say? Did I do anything in appropriate? Why are they acting like this?' It was a very stressful situation. It was awful."

Flaa went on to say that while she would 'welcome an apology', she does not 'expect it'.

"What I've learnt in Hollywood is no one apologizes," the journalist continued.

Many messages on social media were quick to reassure Flaa over the experience and praise her for how she handled it.

UNILAD has previously reached out to Lively's representatives for comment.
