How do you feel about Blake Lively’s “It Ends With Us” press tour?
For those of you who missed it, she starred in a movie about domestic violence and has been marketing it like a fun romcom and downplaying the domestic violence.
She said “grab your friends, wear your florals, and head out to see it!“ She used the movie to promote a new hair care line and her booze brand with drink names like “it ends with buzz”.
Someone asked her how she would respond to a dv victim or survivor who was impacted by her film, and she had a rude, dismissive and truly disgusting response.
There’s a lot more I’m missing here but basically she has been insensitive, tone deaf and seems to have a complete lack of concern for domestic violence victims and survivors.
Personally I find it offensive that someone who gets paid millions of dollars to portray a character in a Hollywood movie can’t be bothered to educate herself on the subject of the movie. One in three women have been victims of domestic violence. Almost everyone knows someone who has been effected by it. People are dying for this every day. She had an opportunity to speak out and say something that might encourage them leave, educate, even just empathize with them….something!
