As a seasoned journalist with decades of experience under my belt, I’ve interviewed countless celebrities, and I must admit that some interviews are more memorable than others. The interview with Blake Lively and Parker Posey for Cafe Society certainly falls into the latter category.


I’m here to share that I’ve learned Blake Lively isn’t your typical Hollywood starlet. On a casual night out in New York City on Monday, she dined with a companion, demonstrating her down-to-earth demeanor.

According to PageSix, it appears the actress took no issue with waiting in line for approximately ten minutes to secure a table at Don Angie, a well-known Italian eatery nestled within the West Village area.

At a cozy table for four, The It Ends With Us actress found herself seated beside her brunette companion. They requested various plates to fill the table and enjoyed a couple of cocktails throughout their lengthy two-hour dinner, according to accounts.

According to the source, whenever fans asked Blake for a picture or signature, she happily complied with a smile.

This occurs two months following the portrayal of her as a spoiled Hollywood star, stemming from an interview she conducted with a Norwegian journalist many years prior.

The restaurant, which is known for their salads and lasagna, was packed when Blake dropped by.

She was with a pretty blonde female friend who resembled the cover girl.

When informed they’d need to wait at least ten minutes for a table, they grinned and acknowledged it was alright.

According to the spy’s report, they seemed quite relaxed, almost casual, right in the heart of the restaurant.

They requested an abundance of items, as the spy reported, ‘They consumed almost everything available. In fact, everything from the menu. Their table, intended for four, was laden with food.’

There was also ‘a fun cocktail’ on the table.

‘A few fans walked over and [Lively] took a selfie with them while eating dinner,’ the spy said.

The wife of Ryan Reynolds was also ‘very nice and polite to the staff.’

According to the source, they were exceptionally kind not only to the host but also to the hostess who seemed to be apologizing due to the delay in seating. They engaged her in conversation for some time.

Lively ‘happily took photos with some fans who were also dining at the restaurant.’

‘She was so warm and nice,’ the insider adds.

Two months have passed since allegations were made against Blake regarding her being a Mean Girl. A reporter has expressed that speaking with Lively became so challenging during the ongoing It Ends With Us controversy that it felt like she wanted to resign from her job. She described the encounter as the most awkward situation she had ever been in.

There’s been quite a stir surrounding Blake, as rumors persist about an alleged dispute with her co-star, Justin Baldoni, grabbing the spotlight.

In the midst of all this commotion, I, a devoted follower and award-winning journalist, have spoken out against a former star of Gossip Girl. Reflecting on my experiences, I’ve expressed that an encounter with Blake in 2016 left me contemplating a departure from the journalism industry.

She uploaded a clip of the awkward encounter to her YouTube channel titled: ‘The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job.’

In the year 2016, Blake and actress Parker Posey conversed with Kjersti, a 51-year-old woman hailing from Norway but currently residing in California, about their movie titled Cafe Society.

however, as Kjersti offered her congratulations for the pregnancy of the actress, who was anticipating her second baby with spouse Reynolds, the atmosphere instantly became strained.

Blake seemed completely unamused with the comment, and replied with a sarcastic quip.

To start off, I must say, wonderful news about your small baby bump, Kjersti! This joyful announcement comes from Content Now TV’s founder.

‘Congrats on your little bump,’ Blake fired back, as the interviewer giggled nervously.

‘What about my bump?’ Parker joined in, standing up to show her butt to the camera.

As a die-hard admirer, I found myself taken aback when Blake’s reply seemed to catch Kjersti off guard. With an air of discomfort, she settled into her seat, and the two of them engaged in light-hearted banter about their shared ‘hiccups’ in our interactions.

And things only got worse when Kjersti asked the women her first question.

In the 1930s setting of the film, Kjersti pondered whether the actors wore vintage fashion during the production.

However, Blake expressed displeasure with the question, and just as Parker was ready to respond, she inserted, ‘It seems everyone is focusing on the attire. One can’t help but wonder if they’d ask men about their clothes too.’

‘I would,’ Kjersti promised. 

Instead, the women began conversing among themselves instead of with Kjersti, sharing thoughts on their preferred male costumes featured in the film.

The interview, which was quite awkward, continued for a while longer, until a seemingly dejected Kjersti brought it to an end.

In her post’s caption, she expressed that having a chat with Blake Lively and Parker Posey during Cafe Society was the most awkward interview setting I’ve ever encountered.

Is it inappropriate to offer congratulations for someone’s pregnancy or to inquire about the costumes a female actor wears in a movie?
