Blake Lively Gets Dragged Again For Joking That Pregnancy Cravings Are A 'Lie' In An Old Interview

Blake Lively is under fire again for a 2014 interview where she joked that pregnancy cravings aren't real. The actress made the comments to reporter AJ Calloway but clarified that she was only "teasing him."

However, fans have still criticized Lively after the video re-emerged online, calling her insensitive. The fresh backlash comes amid Lively's feud with Justin Baldoni, her co-star from "It Ends With Us."

Blake Lively has now been accused of bullying the actor and being "tone-deaf" during the publicity tour for their new movie.

Lively is facing another controversy after saying that pregnancy cravings are a "lie" that pregnant women use to get their way.

The 2014 footage has caused many women on social media to accuse the actress of diminishing the side effects of carrying and birthing a child.

Lively had the controversial interview with reporter AJ Calloway for Extra while attending the Angel Ball.

At the time, she was pregnant with her first child, James, and Calloway said that his wife was "seven months right now," so he understood the experience Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, were having.

As they spoke, Lively laughed and said that Calloway's wife was "taking advantage" of him through the pregnancy cravings.

When he said that he spent "every night" rubbing his wife's feet to help with the pain, the actress playfully called him a "sucker" and said he shouldn't fall for it because pregnancy cravings are a "lie."

Lively joked that it's not necessary to do everything a pregnant woman wants because "you can exploit it."

She said, "It's the perfect way to get what you want. You want chocolate ice cream at midnight? You have a craving!"

However, as their conversation ended, Lively clarified that she was only "teasing" with her remarks.

Despite her stating that it was a joke at the end of the interview, the resurfaced clip angered many social media users, especially on TikTok.

According to the Daily Mail, a video of the interview posted on the social media platform has now received over 8.6 million views and 630,000 likes, with thousands of comments criticizing Lively.

One person wrote, "I'm guessing she lives a pampered life whether pregnant or not, so her feet probably aren't sore."

Another comment read, "Some of us work on our feet 40+ hrs and don't have the luxury of rest throughout an entire pregnancy."

However, some fans were on Lively's side and pointed out that the "Green Lantern" actress clarified that she was teasing.

One such comment read, "People are reading her so wrong both HER AND RYAN are extremely sarcastic and joke around. Relax."

Another fan wrote, "She's being sarcastic people!! This hate campaign is gross."

A person on X recently uncovered a 2012 interview with Elle Magazine in which Lively made comments about dressing up her future kids, using a term that has since been widely recognized as outdated and offensive.

"Sometimes ill [sic] be quietly going about my day and then ill [sic] remember the time Blake lively said this to a journalist," the user captioned their post on X.

The fan then shared an image of her quote: "I hope to have a few girls one day. If not girls, they better be tr-nnies. Because I have some amazing shoes and bags and stories that need to be appreciated."

The social media criticism over the interview comes during Lively's bitter public feud with Justin Baldoni, her co-star from "It Ends With Us."

The drama between the two actors started when rumors spread that there was tension between them on set and escalated during post-production.

One of the accusations that Lively allegedly made against Baldoni includes that he fat-shamed her during an incident where he asked his trainer for advice on protecting his back during filming for a scene where he lifted her. She's also allegedly accused him of inappropriate conduct during their time on set.

The feud between Lively and Baldoni has gotten so bad that the "Gossip Girl" star is now being accused of bullying her co-star out of his first major film.

During her solo publicity tour, she has also been criticized for being tone-deaf about the film's domestic violence elements.

Sources have told the Daily Mail that plans for the film's sequel, "It Starts With Us," are now in doubt because of the ongoing feud.

They explained that creating the second film would be difficult, with the lead stars, Lively and Baldoni, refusing to promote their work on the first film together.

"It's hard to imagine Justin wanting to work with Blake - or vice versa - after all this bad blood," the source said. "Whatever started this feud, there certainly has been no obvious rapprochement between the pair."
