Blake Lively has been making headlines before and after the release of It Ends With Us due to her alleged feud with her costar and the film's director, Justin Baldoni.

She sparked more buzz after her recent and past interviews unveiled her "rude" behavior.

In an August discussion with Jake Hamilton, the Emmy-winning Chicago-based reporter asked Lively how she would like people to approach her and talk about the themes of her recent film, which focuses on domestic violence.

She said: "Maybe asking for, like, my address, or my phone number. Or, like, location share?! I could just location-share you and then we could …"

After the release of the interview, the clip went viral on social media, leaving everyone horrified by her response.

Amid the controversy, Norwegian journalist Kjersti Flaa released a YouTube video titled The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job – which featured a chat recorded in 2016.

At the time, Lively and Parker Posey sat down with the interviewer to promote their film Café Society.

Flaa kicked off the interview by congratulating Lively on her pregnancy. The mom-of-four, 37, then commented on Flaa's "little bump" – although Flaa was not pregnant.

Throughout the discussion, the Gossip Girl star also appeared to ignore the interviewer and turned her body more toward her costar.

Later in the interview, Lively challenged Flaa after the journalist asked about the costumes used in the film.

Lively told Posey: "Everyone wants to talk about the clothes, but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes. It's not just the women that have the clothes, but I feel like the women get the conversation."

After the interaction, the journalist told Daily Mail the "little bump" comment hurt her – especially because she was struggling with infertility issues.

I don't know, I’m … large? They put me in six-inch heels, and I tower over every man. I’ve got this long hair and lots of clothes and makeup on. I just feel really big a lot of the time, and I'm surrounded by a lot of tiny people. I feel like a man sometimes."
