AceShowbiz - Norwegian journalist Kjersti Flaa continued to air out her issues with Blake Lively. After sharing a clip of their 2016 interview that made her almost quit her job, the reporter recalled reuniting with the actress for a second interview two years later.
"Okay so I have a few more things that I want to say," Kjersti said in a new video she shared on YouTube. She then recounted her meeting with the "It Ends With Us" star in 2018 when she was promoting her film "A Simple Favor".
Kjersti continued, "I found this clip from before the camera started really rolling, they were rolling already but they hadn't started the interview, and you can see by my facial expressions, I am dying, I'm so nervous," adding that watching it back made her "cringe."
The "freelance" reporter noted that "nothing" too catastrophic occurred during the interview. She shared that Blake and her "A Simple Favor" co-star Anna Kendrick chatted throughout most of it.
Prior to this, Kjersti revealed a star who "saved the day" with their kindness after she felt humiliated with her previous interview with Blake. "I want to shout out Kristen Stewart, who was the person I interviewed after the horrific incident," the reporter shared.
Of the "Twilight" star, Kjersti added, "She saved my day. I was terrified walking into that interview because I had just experienced what I had, so for her to just like treat me [so kindly]... She was so sweet so I'm so happy I interviewed her afterwards."
She continued, "To be honest with you, it took me a while to actually get over it." She shared, "It affected me for a while, [I was] nervous when I was interviewing other people after that. I blamed myself for it for a long time because I felt like I did or said something wrong. So that's the reason why I waited so long [to post it]."
In her video, Kjersti added that she hoped she could help others who have been "bullied" in the past by sharing the video with Blake. "It's not okay to behave like that and I think it needs to be called out," she noted. "A lot of people could resonate with this situation. I've been contacted by a lot of women."
Earlier this month, Kjersti shared on YouTube an old interview of her with Blake. Titled the video, "The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job", the clip quickly went viral. Kjersti told Daily Mail of the comment, "It left me almost paralyzed. To be honest it hurts because I obviously wasn't pregnant and I could never get pregnant so to me that comment was like a bullet."
