Rhea Kapoor stood up for Blake Lively in the face of criticism directed against the It Ends With Us ad piece. Her perspective did not impress many Reddit users.
Because of her It Ends With Us publicity tour, Blake Lively is receiving criticism. The actor faced criticism for speaking in lighthearted ways during press conferences and interviews rather than discussing the film’s more delicate themes. There are a ton of angry comments on social media about her lack of attention to domestic abuse, which is the film’s central premise.
Rhea Kapoor, an Indian producer, has now posted on Blake’s Instagram account and criticized the movie’s marketing effort. Reddit, meanwhile, is not impressed with Rhea’s defense of the Hollywood star.
Rhea calls out hate against Blake Lively’s press tour
“The commentary on the film’s marketing is so sad,” Rhea said in her response. Much success to Blake, Colleen, and the producers for marketing this garbage of a film. We understand how challenging it may be to tell authentic women’s experiences in the media and reach a wide audience as filmmakers. Honor the women who have endured similar struggles, emerged stronger, and chosen to embrace their light. We see them every day. Instead of putting people in a box, normalize speaking their tales.
Do you wish to make fun of the actress instead for dressing elegantly for the press tour? How was she expected to respond? Curl up in a sweat at home? a fantastic method to guarantee that even fewer of these tales are reported. And what if she advertised her brand? She’s a businesswoman, after all, and she’s doing publicity, so what? How critical are we?
She also lauded Blake for making a film on domestic violence and wrote, “A movie about DV just opened to 40 million dollars.”
Reddit reacts to ‘tone deaf’ take
Reddit saw the video and Rhea’s remarks. Someone said, “Why is there always kapoor? Does she believe that if Ryan and Blake see her, Sonam will ask them to dinner? “Rhea has completely missed out on the point for which Blake is getting hate,” another commenter said. Someone made the following comment: “Obviously, someone as rich and tone deaf as Blake won’t see anything wrong with the way that Blake and her husband attempted to romanticize the subject and make the movie all about themselves. Nothing greater was anticipated from Ms. Rhea Kapoor.
How naive can these individuals be? Another said, “Birds of a feather flock together.”
What’s happening with It Ends With Us?
The popular book of the same name by Colleen Hoover served as the inspiration for It Ends With Us. Key characters in it include Hasan Minhaj, Jenny Slate, Alex Neustaedter, Justin Baldoni, and Brandon Sklenar. The narrative centers on a lady who experiences domestic abuse at the hands of her spouse and seeks comfort from a long-lost childhood acquaintance.
Blake is being criticized, meanwhile, for marketing the movie as a fluffy love story and primarily bringing up her looks and recently established haircare company. The film was directed by Justin Baldoni, who plays her violent spouse in the opposite role. His strategy for film promotion has been radically different. In interviews, he discusses how to handle delicate topics like domestic abuse with caution.
Additionally, there have been rumors of a backstage argument between Blake and Justin. According to reports, Blake is telling people that Justin made fun of her physique and gave her an extended kiss during a scene. A crisis manager that Justin recruited previously assisted Johnny Depp in his domestic violence lawsuit with Amber Heard.
