Is it ever okay to comment on someone\u2019s baby bump? It\u2019s a seemingly innocent gesture, but as one journalist found out the hard way, even the most well-intentioned comments can go horribly wrong.

Imagine interviewing a major celebrity, only to be met with a sarcastic remark that leaves you questioning everything. We\u2019re talking about the infamous Blake Lively interview that\u2019s resurfaced after eight years, sparking a debate on whether it's ever appropriate to mention someone\u2019s pregnancy.

Joining guest host Mairead Ronan to discuss is Producer and Digital Journalist, Rebecca Horan.
