Kjersti Flaa referred to the sitdown as “the most uncomfortable … situation” she has ever experienced.
In the video, Flaa congratulated the actress, 36, on her “little bump” since Lively was pregnant with her second baby.
The ‘Gossip Girl’ alum sarcastically replied, “Congrats on your little bump.”
To stop the situation from escalating, Parker Posey jumped in to cool down the tension, and showed off her backside “bump.”
Flaa and Lively went on to admire Posey’s “lovely lady lumps.”
Responding to the journalist calling the 'Woody Allen' movie “visually amazing” and asking whether the cast members enjoyed the fashion, Lively chimed without looking at Flaa, “Everyone wants to talk about the clothes, but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes.”
After Flaa insisted, “I would,” as Lively and Posey talked amongst themselves about their male co-stars’ best outfits, reports PageSix.
Lively said, “It’s not just the women that have the clothes, but I feel like the women get the conversation.”
Blake Lively opens up on 'It Ends With Us' feud drama
The old clip was posted amid on-set drama with director and co-star Justin Baldoni in ‘It Ends With Us.’
Lively, who stars as Lily Bloom, a woman caught in an abusive relationship with neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (played by Justin Baldoni), addressed the criticism on her Instagram Story.
In a statement accompanied by a public service announcement about violence against women, Lively expressed her gratitude to those who supported the film while emphasizing its deeper message, according to Daily Mail.
"Thank you to everyone who came out to show that people WANT to see films about women and the multitudes we hold. 'It Ends With Us' is a story of the female experience. All the highest highs, and lowest lows. And we are so proud of it," Lively wrote.
Meanwhile, Baldoni opened up about the “friction” that arises from undertaking dual roles of both filmmaking and acting and how that “friction” enhances the creative process.
“There was a lot of pressure playing such a complex role like Ryle and, of course, as a filmmaker, you're always navigating personalities,” the star said during an interview with ElleUK.
He recalled, “There are all these things that happen every day on set, there's always friction that happens when you make a movie like this,” before explaining, “Then at the end of the day, it's that friction, I believe, that creates the beautiful art.”
