Zoë Kravitz’s ‘Blink Twice’ Issues Trigger Warning Following ‘It Ends With Us’ Drama

Blake Lively’s movie, which addresses domestic abuse, lacked a trigger warning.

The warning was posted on the film’s official social media accounts and began with, “We are proud to finally share Blink Twice with audiences in theaters worldwide this week.” Inspired by the Jeffrey Epstein case, the film stars Naomi Ackie as a young woman invited to join a tech billionaire, played by Kravitz’s fiancé Channing Tatum, on his private island. In addition to the critique over the lack of a warning, Lively faced backlash for her promotional approach, encouraging cinemagoers to “bring their florals” in a manner reminiscent of the “wear pink” trend surrounding Barbie last year, while avoiding explicit mention of domestic violence.
