Blake Lively’s Cocktail Brand XOXO

Spotted: Blake Lively stirring up some controversy with her latest business venture. The ‘Gossip Girl star, known for her glamorous lifestyle and impeccable fashion choices, has launched her alcohol brand, Betty Booze. However, it’s advisable to hold onto your expensive hats before celebrating, as not everyone seems to be in agreement.

Blake, who has been vocal about her sobriety, is facing some eyebrow-raising accusations of “cash grabs” from her followers. They question whether she is embracing the cocktail trend for financial gain. Ouch! That’s a plot twist that even the Upper East Siders couldn’t have predicted.

In defence of her new venture, Blake wrote, “Drinking isn’t my thing” in an Instagram post. However, the flavour is indeed important, for f*’s sake. She bragged that Betty Booze was produced using only tried-and-true family recipes, fresh fruit, authentic herbs and spices, and premium alcohol. It also saves you time, which is always a plus. What a convenient marriage of business and efficiency!

But the critics couldn’t resist throwing some shade. One commented, ‘If drinking isn’t your thing (which you’re very vocal about), how about some NA options?

Otherwise, you’re just in it for the money.’ Another chimed in, questioning how Blake could market a product she doesn’t openly consume. Some even called it ‘lame’ when celebrities who don’t drink suddenly promote alcohol. Ouch, again!

Fans were quick to defend Blake, with one user urging the community to “keep it classy” and another calling Blake a “good businesswoman”. They contended that she need not use her product to guarantee its high standard. After all, she’s putting her reputation on the line.

A supporter even dared the outraged sober people, saying, “If you do drink, you’re just being catty.” The tension is skyrocketing, and it’s becoming evident that Blake Lively can’t be personally culpable for everybody’s poor decisions.

So, will Betty Booze be a smashing success or a fizzled-out flop? Only time will tell. But one thing’s sure: this gossip-worthy launch has stirred the pot and left us craving juicy updates. XOXO, Gossip Girl. Note: The text above is a playful rewrite of the original information, incorporating elements of banter and references to the TV show “Gossip Girl.”
