Blake Lively has come under fire again amid her rumored feud with her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni.
During a 2014 interview with Extra reporter AJ Calloway, the “Gossip Girl” star joked that pregnant women “lie” about their symptoms and cravings.
A clip from the red carpet moment has resurfaced on TikTok and fans are now calling out the “pampered” star.
Calloway opened the interview by calling attention to Lively’s baby bump and asking her, “How’s it going? My wife is seven months right now, so I know what it’s all like, the feet rubbing.”
Lively — who was pregnant with her first child, James, 9, at the time — jokingly told the reporter it sounded like his wife was “taking advantage” of him.
After watching the video, thousands of TikTok users said Lively’s life of luxury probably helped relieve some of her pregnancy symptoms.
“I was on my feet working until I had my son. Yes they hurt, yes my husband rubbed them for me. I’m guessing she lives a pampered life whether pregnant or not so her feet probably aren’t sore,” one person wrote.
Another said, “She does not speak for this ex pregnant woman and my swollen feet. Also some of us work on our feet 40+ hrs and don’t have the luxury of rest throughout an entire pregnancy.”
Meanwhile, one person defended Lively, saying, “I feel like she has a level of sarcasm and dry humor people don’t get.”
“You can exploit [pregnancy], if you want. You can’t fall for that stuff,” Lively told Calloway while playfully swatting his arm.
The 36-year-old — who is also mom to daughters Inez, 7, and Betty, 4, as well as son Olin — insisted that “pregnant women just lie” to dupe their husbands without feeling guilty.
“It’s the perfect way to get what you want. You want chocolate ice cream at midnight? You have a ‘craving’!”
This new backlash comes shortly after Lively came under fire for a 2016 interview she did, in which reporter Kjersti Flaa said the “nightmare” chat made her contemplate quitting journalism altogether.
After Flaa congratulated Lively on her pregnancy, the “Age of Adelaide” star responded with an awkward comment about the reporter’s “little bump.”
Flaa, who has since admitted she’s struggled with infertility, described the interview as “the most uncomfortable … situation” she has ever experienced.
Lively is currently under intense criticism as rumors of an alleged feud with Baldoni continue to swirl.
Earlier this month it was reported that Baldoni made Lively feel “uncomfortable” on the set of their new movie.
Industry insiders have claimed the division between the two became more apparent during the post-production process as Lively reportedly hired the “Deadpool & Wolverine” editor to make a second cut of the film.
The director — who reportedly felt “stifled” by Lively on set — has since commented that he would likely give his directing job to Lively if a second film, based on Colleen Hoover’s 2022 follow-up “It Starts With Us,” comes to fruition.
