“It was such a traumatizing experience to me,” Flaa said. “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.”
“It made me question if I ever wanted to do these types of interviews again,” she added.
In a separate video interview with TMZ, Flaa said she would welcome an apology from Lively eight years on from the disaster interview.
“If she wants to apologize, that would be amazing. I think if you behave badly, if you own up to that and own it and say ‘You know, I had a terrible day, I’m so sorry’ and maybe she will learn something from that and not behave like that again,” she said.
“But I don’t think it will happen though,” she added.
Lively is currently at the center of a media storm following the “It Ends With Us” promotional tour drama, with multiple reports of a feud between her and her costar, Justin Baldoni.
Amid speculation over what happened, Baldoni has hired crisis PR manager Melissa Nathan to represent him.
