America Ferrera Promotes Anti-Backstabbing Initiative By Taking Down BFF Blake Lively In The Press [Sisterhood Of The Traveling Rants]

America Ferrera Promotes Anti-Backstabbing Initiative By Taking Down BFF Blake Lively In The Press [Sisterhood Of The Traveling Rants]
Though Blake Lively has absolved America Ferrera of her notorious, Gossip Girl-directed eye roll (claiming that it was simply due to exhaustion from hours of Traveling Pants 2 promotion), it seems like Ferrera didn't get the "XOXO"-signed memo. In a new interview with Seventeen, the Ugly Betty actress heaps more criticism on her friend's show; ironically, it's while decrying how catty girls can be to one another:

"Like, if you're watching The Hills or 90210, all the backstabbing shapes the way we act," the Seventeen cover girl says in the magazine's October issue.

"I mean, I love Blake [Lively]; she's a wonderful friend of mine, but shows like Gossip Girl kind of condition us to be mean."

As opposed to shows like Ugly Betty, which leaven the acid-tongued remarks from characters like Marc, Amanda and Wilhemina with wan, easily fast-forwarded subplots involving the dad's immigration issues! America, while we see your point about girl-on-girl crime, rolling your eyes at your friend and bashing her show in the press might not be the most effective way to illustrate it... though it would make for a fabulous Gossip Girl C-plot!
