Blake Lively Faces Backlash Over Pregnancy Comments

Blake Lively has faced backlash after a decade-old interview resurfaced in which she sarcastically suggested that pregnant women are exaggerating their discomfort for personal gain. The clip, which has gone viral with over 8.6 million views, has drawn hundreds of negative comments from social media users who believe she is out of touch with the struggles of pregnancy. Lively, who is a mother of four, attempted to clarify her comments as a joke, but many fans remain critical. Meanwhile, a study has identified Iowa as the state with the most 'cringe-worthy' social media users, with 69% of respondents from the state agreeing on this label. The study also found that lip-syncing songs is considered the cringiest behavior across the U.S., a sentiment echoed by many in New Hampshire as well. As social media trends continue to evolve rapidly, the divide between 'cringe' and 'cool' remains a hot topic among users.
