Blake Lively is making a buzz in her Betty Buzz brand, but fans think it’s for the wrong reasons! The “Gossip Girl” star angered her social media followers by promoting a new booze venture despite claiming she doesn’t drink.
The blonde beauty is famous in the entertainment industry as a sensational actress with outstanding achievements. She gained new attention as the wife of Hollywood’s favorite comedian, Ryan Reynolds, joining the list of beloved power couples.
However, the Teen Choice Award winner’s reputation recently took a brutal hit following the launch of her company’s latest line of sparkling spirits — Betty Booze. As the name suggests, the new line of canned cocktails contains alcohol.

Unlike its non-alcoholic beverage brand, Betty Buzz, the new line features delicious flavors from well-known spirits. The three canned cocktails promoted in his post are; “Sparkling Bourbon with Apple Ginger Sour Cherry,” “Sparkling Tequila with Oak Smoked Lime,” and “Sparkling Tequila with Lime Shiso.”
The ad for the alcoholic mixer captures the 35-year-old posing as a waiter in a white and black ensemble. The Los Angeles native rocked a form-fitting white shirt, leaving a few buttons open to reveal her neck and a bit of her chest.
Adorning his collar is a matching white tie while his hands are adorned with white gloves. The “Elvis and Anabelle” star completed the service outfit with black trousers and pretended to serve his drink to the audience.
In the first image, she is captured holding a silver dome robe with one hand to reveal her three Betty Booze flavors sitting pretty on a serving plate. Another snap captures Lively biting into an ice cube while a drink is placed in a glass cup on a plate.

Additionally, the slideshow contains a close-up of a drink covered in condensation droplets. Despite the stunning promotional photos, what upset fans was the blonde beauty’s confession in her caption.
“Drinking is not my thing. But for f* sake, the flavor is. Homemade recipe. Real fruit. Real ingredients. Quality liquor. no need. Also a real time saver. That’s why I really do it. @bettybooze,” the TV personality wrote.
Although her post received over a million likes, the comments were filled with disgruntled fans. Lively’s revelation as a non-drinker offended many social media users, who did not believe she would launch an alcohol channel when she abstained from alcohol.

As mentioned above, fans reacted negatively to the Hollywood sensation’s post. Many called out the mother of four for trading her integrity for a quick buck. “How can you openly market/make a product that you yourself don’t use? Come the f on now,” quipped someone.
“It’s so lame when a celebrity who doesn’t drink is suddenly promoting alcohol,” another cried, with a third echoing the same sentiment: “Really sick of celebrities squeezing alcohol when they know it’s toxic and dangerous and don’t drink it own Grab money from Celebs.”
More people came to Lively’s defense, accusing her of promoting alcoholism for financial gain. “So he’s smart enough not to drink alcohol but wants people to spend their $ on alcohol so he can get richer?” someone lashed out at the 35-year-old man.
One disgruntled fan saw the “New York, I Love You” actor’s business as an insult to people who drink alcohol. In the individual’s rant, they stated the post was “very upsetting” to them as a moderate drinker.
The social media user stated that they are “sick of people either bragging about not drinking or shaming those who are happy to have a glass of wine every now and then.” Bashing Lively, fans concluded: “Don’t sell something you yourself wouldn’t drink.”
The massive criticism of “The Age of Adaline” star didn’t end there as other followers wrote candid messages about the matter. These fans admitted they were disappointed with Lively’s business because they believed she would maintain her status as a celebrity who avoids alcohol promotions.
