Bethenny Frankel Compares Blake Lively to Jennifer Lopez Amid Ongoing It Ends With Us Press Tour Backlash

by

As a long-time observer and admirer of the glittering world of Hollywood, I find myself both captivated and concerned by the ongoing saga surrounding Blake Lively’s promotional strategy for her latest film, “It Ends With Us.” Having grown up around domestic violence and navigating the treacherous waters of media monetization, I can’t help but empathize with the struggles that come with balancing art and commerce.

In the midst of Blake Lively’s contentious press tour for “It Ends With Us,” Bethenny Frankel has drawn a parallel between Lively and Jennifer Lopez in her assessment.

In a recent Instagram video, the ex-Real Housewives star openly discussed her thoughts regarding Lively’s promotions. Some people have criticized Lively for advertising her Betty Buzz cocktail company and Blake Brown haircare line while promoting a movie that deals with domestic violence. Frankel suggests this dual promotion may have diverted Lively from the primary objective.

In her video, Frankel shared that she had personal experiences with domestic violence while growing up and dealing with media revenue, and this particular incident was due to poor management. She cautioned others against repeating similar errors.

She observed that it’s now quite usual for celebrities like Frankel, 53, to handle multiple projects concurrently aside from their primary professions. She highlighted that they often take advantage of every available chance. In her words, “It’s become a typical strategy to try to seize as many opportunities as you can and maximize your efforts at the same time.”

Regarding Lively’s promotional tour, some actors strive to take advantage of every opportunity for visibility, sometimes extending themselves beyond their limits, as demonstrated by Jennifer Lopez. Earlier this year, Frankel recollected that Lopez was juggling the promotion of multiple projects all at once, such as two films, an album, a beverage line, and her relationship with Ben Affleck.

She deduced, “Her audience got waterboarded and didn’t want it.”

In my opinion as a lifestyle enthusiast, while Bethenny Frankel doesn’t endorse the concept of “cancel culture,” she does believe that learning from past errors is crucial. On the other hand, Blake Lively, who has been relatively quiet amidst criticisms, recently broke her silence by subtly sharing resources regarding domestic violence on her Instagram story. Notably, an interview she conducted with BBC News garnered attention when she emphasized that her character, Lily Bloom, is neither a “victim” nor a “survivor.” Instead, she portrays a strong and resilient woman who refuses to be defined by such labels.
