Remember THAT Blake Lively Instagram comment about having an “Oakland booty” that totally blew up in her (LA) face?
Turns out she’s standing by every word.
The 28-year-old actress was promoting her new film, “The Shallows,” onSiriusXM show“Sway In The Morning” when she defended her comments.
Blake said,
It’s something I was proud of.I never meant to offend anyone.
I was celebrating my body.It’s nice to have a nice curve and not look like you’re starving to death.
People got mega angry with the actress — who is expecting her second child with Ryan Reynolds — back in May after she posted a picture of herself on Instagram and wrote, “L.A. face with an Oakland booty.”
The caption is alyric from Sir Mix-a-Lot’s famous 1992 hit, Baby Got Back, a song the rapper wrote specifically to celebrate black women’s bodies.
The intro to the not-so-PC song starts with white girls making fun of black women’s butts, and Oakland is shouted out for its prominent Black community.
So some people found the quote coming from Blake, a white actress from LA, to be in poor taste.
