Honestly she never asked about the movie… I’m team Blake, one user said.

Blake was quite dismissive and passive-aggressive with the interviewer – hardly even looking at her – the interviewer looked so uncomfortable, the second user commented.

The reporters whole approach was awful, the third user affirmed.

Both actresses are weird not the interviewer she was just excluded from the convo, another wrote.
