So, in case you missed it—probably because you were busy doing something less mortifying—Blake Lively had what we shall henceforth call The Cringe Interview of the Decade. Picture this: Blake Lively, reigning queen of Hollywood, on a press tour with her sidekick Parker Posey, ready to charm the world. But then, out of nowhere, Norwegian journalist Kjersti Flaa says something so shocking, so scandalous, that Blake practically morphs into Regina George in real time.
What was this earth-shattering comment, you ask? Kjersti dared to congratulate Blake on her “little bump,” presumably referring to Blake’s baby-on-board situation. Instead of taking this congratulatory moment and basking in the glow of motherhood, Blake threw the most unnecessary shade: “Congrats on your little bump,” she snapped back at Kjersti, who was…not pregnant. Oof. Cue the collective cringe heard ‘round the world.
Kjersti, bless her, handled it like a champ and went on to share the whole awkward ordeal on YouTube because, well, why suffer alone? But, before you start thinking her day was entirely ruined by the Mean Girls sequel happening in front of her eyes, Kristen Stewart, yes, that Kristen Stewart, swooped in like an awkward yet lovable knight in Converse to save the day.
Enter KStew: Hollywood’s Unexpected Savior
Now, Kjersti didn’t want to leave us all with the sour taste of Blake’s sass. No, no. She made sure to sprinkle a little KStew sweetness into the mix. According to Kjersti, Kristen was, and I quote, “wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.” It’s almost like she was trying to cast some spell to cleanse the air of Blake’s bad vibes. After facing the dragon that was Blake Lively, Kjersti probably expected Kristen to roast her alive or, at best, respond in interpretive dance. But nope! Kristen was kind, sweet, and didn’t once make a snarky comment about imaginary bumps.
Kjersti even admitted that Kristen practically “saved her day.” Which, honestly, could be the tagline for a buddy cop movie: Kjersti and KStew: Saving Journalism, One Nice Comment at a Time.
Mean Girls of Hollywood: The Callout
Now, here’s where it gets juicy. Kjersti decided she’d had enough of Hollywood’s Mean Girls energy. She dropped another video (the sequel we didn’t know we needed) where she called out the “bullies” and declared it’s high time they were held accountable. I mean, if we can’t count on Blake Lively to be nice, what even is the point of red carpets, press junkets, or this entire dimension?
Kjersti laid down the law: No more sneaky side-eye, no more passive-aggressive retorts, and definitely no more accusing non-pregnant people of sporting a “little bump.” Basically, she’s the vigilante Hollywood deserves, fighting the good fight against bad vibes.
But Why Post This Now? The 8-Year Delay Explained
Here’s the thing that had everyone scratching their heads: Why on earth would Kjersti wait eight whole years to drop this tea? Well, turns out, she wasn’t sitting on this golden nugget just for kicks. Apparently, another reporter shared their own equally awkward celebrity horror story, and it stirred something in her. Kjersti felt it was time to stand up, call out the nonsense, and, like any good millennial, share it on the internet for the world to enjoy.
She also admitted the whole experience gave her the heebie-jeebies for a while, making her super nervous during other interviews. I mean, can you blame her? It’s hard to ask someone about their “craft” when you’re busy dodging verbal daggers.
The “I Didn’t Know About the Drama” Drama
Now, the plot thickens. Kjersti had NO IDEA about the It Ends With Us drama surrounding Blake and the film. You know, that little thing where people were arguing that casting Blake in a movie about a 23-year-old was like casting a dolphin to play a horse? So, when her reporter friend started swapping horror stories about famous people being jerks, she thought they were just chatting, no big deal. It’s like when you find out your friend was also side-eyed by the same Starbucks barista who gave you attitude.
So, what’s the takeaway from all this? Well, in the grand battle of Blake vs. Kristen, it’s pretty clear who wins. KStew’s got the charm, the respect, and the ability to not randomly accuse someone of being pregnant. Moral of the story? In a world full of Blakes, be a Kristen. Or better yet, just don’t be weird to people with cameras.
