Kjersti Flaa revealed she is infertile after her “nightmare” interview with Blake Lively went viral.
The journalist recalled feeling “almost paralyzed” when she complimented the pregnant actress on her “little bump” in 2016 — only for Lively to sarcastically throw the comment right back.
“To be honest, it hurts because I obviously wasn’t pregnant and I could never get pregnant,” Flaa, 51, told the Daily Mail Friday. “So to me that comment was like a bullet.”


The entertainment reporter “didn’t know how to react,” telling the outlet that she “felt very uncomfortable” and wanted to “leave and get out of there.”
Flaa added, “It made me feel like a complete failure. I kept going through the interview in my head afterwards trying to figure out what I had said or done to make [Lively and Parker Posey] behave like that. It made no sense to me.”
At the time, the interviewer was speaking with Lively, 36, and Posey, 55, about their “Café Society” movie.

Not only did Lively chastise Flaa for asking the actresses a question about fashion, but she and Posey, 55, primarily spoke to each other and ignored the newswoman.
“It was such a traumatizing experience to me,” Flaa recalled to the Daily Mail. “I was there to do a job, and they made sure to make it as difficult as possible for me to do that.
“I was there so they could promote a movie,” she continued. “I was invited to meet them. It certainly did not feel like that. I felt belittled and ignored, and it made me question if I ever wanted to do these types of interviews again.”

She called Lively’s jab “traumatizing.”
Social media users slammed Lively’s “uncalled for” behavior in the throwback clip when it was reposted last week.
“The fact that Blake couldn’t even turn her head for more than 10 seconds to look at this woman is despicable. How rude,” one viewer wrote, while another labeled the “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” star “condescending.”
Lively has since made headlines for another resurfaced interview, this one with DP/30 in 2017 when she questioned whether a reporter had watched “All I See Is You” and told him he needed a “pop quiz.”

While Lively has yet to address Flaa’s comments, a source told People Thursday that the “Gossip Girl” alum was “of course … annoyed” by the “little bump” statement.
“It’s truly such a rude statement,” the insider said. “If you feel the need to acknowledge that she’s pregnant, at least do it respectfully.”
Lively is also under fire for marketing her cocktails and haircare while doing press for her latest movie, “It Ends With Us,” which includes depictions of domestic violence.

Bethenny Frankel chalked that up to “trying to triple- and quadruple-dip in monetizing businesses” in an Instagram video.
She compared Lively to Jennifer Lopez’s “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story” press tour earlier this year, saying, “It’s become a common practice to try to really bum-rush and smash and grab as much as you possibly can at the same time.”
Lively issued a subtle response to backlash earlier this week by uploading resources for victims of domestic violence.
