Bethenny Frankel compares Blake Lively to Jennifer Lopez amid ‘It Ends With Us’ drama

Bethenny Frankel believes Blake Lively and Jennifer Lopez have something in common.

The former “Real Housewife” made the comparison while discussing Lively’s controversial “It Ends With Us” press tour in an Instagram video Thursday.

Notably, the “Gossip Girl” alum has been under fire for marketing her Betty Buzz cocktail brand and Blake Brown haircare line while promoting the movie, which depicts domestic violence.

Blake feels superior above everyone. The PUBLIC makes a celebrity. She is vile.

[AlexMorgan-ovso]

This woman is intelligent. Very analytical. It's refreshing because normally celebrities say the dumbest things.

[SummerE]

Just a heads up it won't let me like your post. What a clear headed critic of the matter. Nice Bethany!

[jessicanaan]

Yes, thank you Bethenny for talking about this. It's hard to understand the greed 'celebs' like this have. For starters, I don't think Lively or Lopez are particularly intelligent. They have become "tone deaf" without the ability to 'read the room.' They also seem to think their fan base is so naive they don't see what jerks they have become.

Wow America is so emotional about perfect strangers. Go for a walk or ride a bike or something.

Classy answer, Bethany didn't rip into Blake like another mean girl, she gave a succinct lowdown of what actually happened.

[MareMarMarie]

The difference between JLO and Blake is that these are people in the industry that are telling on Blake and shes telling on herself. JLO had Tik Tokers who (in my opinion were trying to profit off the Diddy and her poor movie performance) talking about "I met her one time" and not a single one had any picture or footage of their encounter. Like why would I believe you when I know you get paid for clicks and you have not a shred of evidence you were ever within 500 miles of JLO?
Yet can you find anyone in the industry who said she is rude that she is a mean girl? Director, costar, someone who interviewed her? There was one dancer who claimed she was being racist, and he and 1 other girl were the only black dancers. But when I went to YouTube to see the performance he was talking about, he had his video trimmed down and so you couldn't see the other black dancers who took turns being front and center on the left and right. People even pointed that out in his comment section. JLO did approach DV in her movie, and she talked about it in her doc and people raked her over the coals. Like what do the public want? But I do agreee she shouldnt have released everything at once. I didnt even know she was going on tour until it was basically starting. There was no hype marketing.

I agree, domestic violence is a severe and pervasive issue across the world. Her jokey dismissive let’s make this a garden party attitude is misaligned.

Note: Scarlett Johansson was engaged to Ryan Reynolds. AND when he was acting in the green lantern movie with Blake Lively (Ryan and Blake messed around) ...Ryan ended his engagement with Scarlett and.... Ryan Reynolds started dating Blake Lively and had kids and NOW I BELIEVE BLAKE HAS ALWAYS BEEN JEALOUS OF SCARLETT, SO BLAKE BEGGED RYAN TO LET BLAKE BE THE FEMALE DEADPOOL because Scarlett is a more talented and successful actress. Scarlett is hotter. Scarlett gets along with her costars. Scarlett was amazing in black widow and the advengers.... but yeah Blake being the "lady deadpool" was so forced and pathetic
Scarlett Johansson is a natural beauty. Whereas Blake Lively had to get a nose job to be a 5 out of 10, go watch "sisterhood of the traveling pants" to see her old big nose 😅 😂

[kalvindertaak]

Everyone is copying Jennifer Lopez she is a triple threat, Blake Lively is nothing compared to Jennifer Lopez. Yeah, Jennifer is having a hard time she will bounce back !

[lisamichele]

I highly doubt so many people are asking Bethany what she thinks about a a-list celebrity Bethany get a fuxking life 💙💯💄

[paulabeecham]

Who made Bethany the voice of reason. She all over the place herself. Inserting herself in any and everything that doesn’t involve her !

[lynnhubbard]

why do "so many people ask"

[joyal]

I do not believe this all came from Bethenny this is a bit BF and a bit someone else wrote it and she performed the video…

[FrisbeeGirl]

LOL. Bethenny trying to have an opinion or out clout Blake or JLo is pure comedy.

[sharonbackos]

I will never watch another Blake or Ryan’s movies again!

[jaygarcia]

I agree but she's definitely a hypocrite 😂😂

[kristina]

Blake has been hiding her mean behind her pretty for 15y...

[lisamichele]

You're an embarrassment to Bravo💙💯💄

[madebystvrygo]

Idk when we got to a society with so much sensitivity and narcissism. Like I was talk that no matter how big a woman belly is it’s disgusting, disrespectful and rude to blurt out her being pregnant, even if it’s already been announced the interview is about the movie not her personal life. Then the interview was some of the most basic unentertaining questions I’m glad they ignored her. That’s just a wanna be victim mentality to talk about quitting your job because you was unprofessional and unprepared but wanted to be a girls girl talking about person things. And honestly a lot of women in these comments looking like long time haters 😂bc what most y’all saying don’t even make since. Like why bring up scarlet…..you bitter and weird
