Kjersti Flaa revealed she is infertile after her “nightmare” interview with Blake Lively went viral.
The journalist recalled feeling “almost paralyzed” when she complimented the pregnant actress on her “little bump” in 2016 — only for Lively to sarcastically throw the comment right back.
“To be honest, it hurts because I obviously wasn’t pregnant and I could never get pregnant,” Flaa, 51, told the Daily Mail Friday. “So to me that comment was like a bullet.”
The entertainment reporter “didn’t know how to react,” telling the outlet that she “felt very uncomfortable” and wanted to “leave and get out of there.”
Flaa added, “It made me feel like a complete failure. I kept going through the interview in my head afterwards trying to figure out what I had said or done to make [Lively and Parker Posey] behave like that. It made no sense to me.”
At the time, the interviewer was speaking with Lively, 36, and Posey, 55, about their “Café Society” movie.
Not only did Lively chastise Flaa for asking the actresses a question about fashion, but she and Posey, 55, primarily spoke to each other and ignored the newswoman.
“It was such a traumatizing experience to me,” Flaa recalled to the Daily Mail. “I was there to do a job, and they made sure to make it as difficult as possible for me to do that.
“I was there so they could promote a movie,” she continued. “I was invited to meet them. It certainly did not feel like that. I felt belittled and ignored, and it made me question if I ever wanted to do these types of interviews again.”
