Tbh the quality of the video is so low you can't really see any of their reactions.
Unless there's a better clip this seems kinda like reaching.

You can see Leighton laughed

Honestly, I'm just waiting for a video to resurface of Blake saying something shitty about Leighton being born while her parents were serving time in prison. And then when no one finds that funny, she'll go 'it's a joke 🤪🤪!! Lord have mercy!!'

She should have just put on the friendship bracelet and not start all of this shit.

She kind of did follow this up with a comment (when they were still talking about monkeys and the interviewer mentions cages) and it sounds like she says 'well some of them started in a cage!'

Idk if it was intentional but I was like uhhh maybe not a good idea to say that when your co-worker was born whilst her mom was in prison.

[theoryofwar]

holy shit. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but given how she's said to be IRL, I can see it being meant in that way.

I really REALLY fucking hate it when people claim “it was a joke!” anytime something isn’t well received. I have a co-worker who does this a lot, though unlike Blake she’s not an asshole, she’s just plain unfunny. But for people like Blake, what even is the point of insisting that something is a joke? If your comment fell flat (even if harmless) we ain’t gonna laugh regardless of if you were joking or not. And saying that doesn’t excuse your assholery like, at all

[itsme_eloise]

that's exactly why they say it though, to excuse their assholery

it puts the blame for falling flat on the people who don't ~get~ it for being a square instead of on the person who said something stupid

[anachan87]

i had a coworker who once said about another coworker "hey, don't you think X looks like a monkey?" and when we literally remained in silence she added "I was just joking!" and another coworker told her "There was nothing funny about that." and the reply was "Well, it's not like he could hear me

Is it gossip girl Saturday on ontd?

Always & forever

GOD please let this scene and any iteration of it pop up in Blake Lively posts from now on. Years later and I am STILL bitter about this ending.

I'm daed at all of his gifs in these post. Can't believe they ever dated.

While I still think it was not good optics for Baldoni to hire this particular PR firm, they are putting in work. And I think it's really funny that in like a week, he's managed to pull all these different interviews where Lively acts like an asshole, but in a whole month, the worst she's managed to get out there about him is that he has a bad back and maybe lingered too long in a kiss. If there is shitty behavior of his out there, then let it burn him, but it's interesting to me it hasn't appeared.
