It is all smoke and mirrors

I am not generally the biggest fan of this A- list actress married to an A+ lister, but to specifically single her out because you know she won’t even try her own brand, is missing the point.

The vast majority of celebrities don’t use anything they sell.

They just want you to think they do, just like they want you to think they got skinny through diet and exercise.

It is all smoke and mirrors to get as many of your dollars into their pockets.

her brand: Betty Booze

Non-drinker Blake Lively sparks backlash with launch of alcohol brand: ‘Genuinely confused’

Blake Lively, who does not drink alcohol, has sparked backlash from fans after launching her own line of canned alcoholic cocktails.

The 35-year-old actor took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce the release of her new cocktails, Betty Booze, which are made with “sparkling bourbon” and “sparkling tequila”. The launch of the alcoholic beverage brand comes two years after Lively launched her company Betty Buzz, which makes sparkling, non-alcoholic mixers.

In her Instagram post announcing the new line of drinks, the Gossip Girl star could be seen holding a tray of three Betty Booze cocktails. In the caption, Lively admitted that drinking is not her “thing” while praising the “homemade recipes”.

“Drinking isn’t my thing. But for f* sake, flavour is,” she wrote in the caption. “Homemade recipes. Real fruit. Real ingredients. Quality booze. No crap. Also a real time saver. Which is why I really did it.”

In another promotional Instagram post, Lively claimed that “zero alcohol” Betty Buzz is “good for all ages and preferences,” while Betty Booze is “for those who want the alcohol because that’s what hosts do”.

The announcement of Lively’s new endeavour has sparked a debate among her fans and followers, with many questioning the A Simple Favor star’s decision to launch an alcohol brand when she doesn’t drink.

“I don’t understand not drinking but having a line of booze? Genuinely confused,” one person wrote, while another said: “I don’t get why you would promote alcohol if you don’t drink. So you can serve them to others at parties? Very odd choice.”

A third wrote: “If just flavour is ‘your thing,’ and not drinking, why, oh why on Earth do you endorse an alcoholic beverage?”

According to someone else, it’s “so lame” when celebrities who don’t drink “suddenly promote alcohol”. – Source
