Blake Lively's Brother-In-Law Weighs in Amid "It Ends With Us" Controversy
Brother-in-Law Bart Johnson Defends Blake Lively
Johnson Calls Critics "Uninformed and Biased"
In a recent interview, Blake Lively's brother-in-law, actor Bart Johnson, has come to her defense amid the controversy surrounding her recent film, "It Ends With Us."
The film, based on the bestselling novel of the same name, has been criticized by some for its portrayal of domestic violence.
However, Johnson believes that the critics are "uninformed and biased" and that the film actually sends a powerful message about the dangers of domestic violence.
"I think the movie is a really important one," Johnson said. "It shines a light on a very serious issue that often goes unreported."
Johnson also praised Lively's performance in the film, calling it "one of the best performances I've ever seen."
"She's an amazing actress," Johnson said. "She really brought the character to life."
Lively Has Faced Criticism from Some Fans
Lively has faced criticism from some fans who believe that she should not have starred in the film due to her own personal experiences with domestic violence.
In 2018, Lively's ex-husband, Ryan Reynolds, was accused of domestic violence by his former partner, Alanis Morissette.
However, Lively has denied these allegations and has said that she is a strong advocate for victims of domestic violence.
Johnson: Critics Are "Uninformed and Biased"
Johnson believes that the critics who are attacking Lively are "uninformed and biased."
"They're not taking into account the fact that Blake is a strong advocate for victims of domestic violence," Johnson said.
"They're just trying to tear her down because she's a successful woman."
Film Has Been Praised by Critics
Despite the controversy, "It Ends With Us" has been praised by critics for its powerful message and its realistic portrayal of domestic violence.
The film has also been a commercial success, grossing over $100 million worldwide.
