It doesn’t end with “It Ends With Us.”
As Blake Lively deals with backlash over her “tone deaf” approach to promoting her new movie, she’s being mocked online for something she said in her Vogue 73 questions interview from 10 years ago that has resurfaced.
In the video from July 2014, Lively, 37, was asked a series of fast-paced questions by an interviewer, and one of her answers has social media in shock.

The journalist asked Lively which “movie you laughed the hardest through.”
“Shawshank Redemption,” she nonchalantly responded.
The interviewer briefly laughed out loud before he moved on to the next question.


It was an unexpected moment when Lively name-dropped the 1994 prison film as the movie that is funniest to her.
The film follows a banker (Tim Robbins) who is sentenced to life in prison for murdering his wife and her lover, despite claiming that he’s innocent. He befriends a fellow prisoner (Morgan Freeman) and gets involved in a money laundering scheme behind bars.

In the midst of the “It Ends With Us” drama, Lively’s odd answer in the Vogue interview went viral on TikTok, prompting fans to call the actress out — again.
“I don’t think blake and I saw the same shawshank redemption,” one fan said in the comments.
“The Shawshank Redemption? I cried watching it,” another person said.
“She’s the kind of person where she’s always kidding so there’s no real answer given and so you’re just sitting there like… sooo wait what is it actually,” someone else wrote.


Another TikToker said Lively was being sarcastic in her answer, but she “badly delivered” her response.
“I think she was trying to answer like Ryan Reynolds but missed completely,” a different comment said.
“It just gets worse and worse AND worse,” another person said, referring to the pile-up of Lively’s past behavior that has been resurfacing.
Fans also created a Reddit thread to discuss Lively’s “Shawshank Redemption” answer.

“She’s so blindingly pretentious,” one of the comments read.
Other people called Lively “cringe” and “an idiot.”
They also called her out for saying in the Vogue interview that she “relates” more to the men on “Sex and the City” than the women.

Throughout the press tour for “It Ends With Us,” Lively has been criticized for failing to discuss the film’s domestic violence theme and instead promoting her new hair care line, Blake Brown, and her floral fashions.
The discourse over her behavior has been heightened by old clips of the star in past interviews that continue to resurface.
In a 2016 interview for her movie “Café Society,” Norwegian reporter Kjersti Flaa congratulated Lively, who was pregnant at the time, on her baby bump, which prompted snippy responses from the actress.
Flaa posted the video to YouTube titled, “The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job.”

An Elle magazine interview from 2012 where Lively repeatedly used a transgender slur while discussing her future children also resurfaced.
An X user posted an image of her quote: “I hope to have a few girls one day. If not girls, they better be trannies. Because I have some amazing shoes and bags and stories that need to be appreciated.”
Lively is also at the center of a rumored feud with her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director Justin Baldoni.

The pair have not done any press together and even watched the film in different movie theaters at the New York premiere Aug. 6.
Baldoni has since hired crisis public relations manager Melissa Nathan, who represented Johnny Depp during the Amber Heard trial.

Lively laid low as the drama made headlines, but she finally resurfaced for her 37th birthday party at Taylor Swift’s $17 million Rhode Island mansion this past weekend.
Her husband Ryan Reynolds and other celebs, such as Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce, Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid were also at the party.
