When Blake Lively went out to dinner with a female friend in New York City on Monday, she demonstrated that she is anything but a Hollywood diva.
According to reports, the actress did not mind standing in line for ten minutes to get a table at the Italian eatery Don Angie in the West Village.
Blake Lively, shown on October 18, in NYC, demonstrated that she is everything but a Hollywood diva on Monday night when she went out to dinner with a female friend.
After being led to a table with four seats, the It Ends With Us star sat down beside her blonde friend. During their two-hour supper, the two reportedly ordered a number of dishes that filled the table and enjoyed a few cocktails.
According to the source, Blake smiled when admirers asked her for an autograph or a picture. Two months have passed since she was falsely accused of being a Hollywood brat in a previous interview with a Norwegian reporter.
The actress appeared unconcerned about standing in line for ten minutes to get a table at the West Village Italian eatery Don Angie.
When Blake visited, the eatery, which is well-known for its lasagna and salads, was crowded. She was with a buddy who looked like the cover lady and was a lovely blonde. The two grinned and said it was okay when they were informed that they would have to wait at least ten minutes for a table.
‘They were just, like, standing in the middle of the restaurant being super easygoing,’ the spy told the site.
And they ordered plenty as the spy said, ‘They ate legit everything. Like, everything on the menu. The table for four was full of food.’
There was also ‘a fun cocktail’ on the table.
‘A few fans walked over and [Lively] took a selfie with them while eating dinner,’ the spy said.

The wife of Ryan Reynolds was also ‘very nice and polite to the staff.’
‘They were super nice to the hostess too, who was like apologizing when the table wasn’t ready. They talked to her for a while,’ the insider said.
Lively ‘happily took photos with some fans who were also dining at the restaurant.’
‘She was so warm and nice,’ the insider adds.
Blake was accused of being a Mean Girl two months prior to this. Amidst the ongoing issue on It Ends With Us, Areporter has stated that interviewing Lively made her want to “quit her job,” calling their conversation the “most uncomfortable situation she had ever experienced.” As reports of a feud between Blake and her costar, Justin Baldoni, continue to garner media attention, Blake was enmeshed in scandal.
Award-winning journalist Kjersti Flaa has criticized the Gossip Girl alum amid the scandal, claiming that she thought about quitting the business after a 2016 interview with Blake went poorly. She posted a video of the unpleasant interaction on her “The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job” YouTube channel.
Blake and fellow actress Parker Posey had sat down with Kjersti, 51, who is originally from Norway but now lives in California, back in 2016 to discuss their film Cafe Society.

However, tensions erupted as soon as Kjersti congratulated the actress, who was then expecting her second child with husband Reynolds, on her pregnancy. Blake responded with a caustic remark, as if the remark had not amused him at all.
‘First of all, congrats on your little bump,’ Kjersti, who is the founder of Content Now TV, gushed.
‘Congrats on your little bump,’ Blake fired back, as the interviewer giggled nervously.
‘What about my bump?’ Parker joined in, standing up to show her butt to the camera.
Kjersti sat there uneasily while the two women chatted about their different ‘bumps’ together, looking confused by Blake’s remark. When Kjersti asked the women her first inquiry, the situation only became worse. Kjersti questioned whether they liked dressing in vintage attire because the film was set in the 1930s.

But Blake didn’t like the query, and as Parker started to answer, she interjected, ‘Everyone wants to talk about the clothes but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes.’
‘I would,’ Kjersti promised.
Again, the ladies started talking to one another rather than to Kjersti, as they discussed some of their favorite outfits worn by men in the movie.
The uncomfortable interview went on for another few minutes, before a defeated Kjersti wrapped it up.
‘Sitting down with Blake Lively and her co star Parker Posey for Cafe Society is the most uncomfortable interview situation I have ever experienced,’ she wrote in the caption.
‘Is it not OK to congratulate someone on their pregnancy or to ask another woman about costumes she is wearing in a film?’
