Strange reaction to domestic violence arrest

In the two days after Francesca Eastwood was reportedly arrested on suspicion of domestic violence on Saturday evening, the actress and celebrity daughter of Clint Eastwood has not behaved like someone in trouble with the law, fearful of the possible repercussions on her career or had her private life.

The 31-year-old spent time on social media promoting her supporting role in an upcoming film and shared a video that appears to show her cooking a delicious-looking egg dish on a gas stove.

Maybe Francesca Eastwood didn't think a well-sourced entertainment site like TMZ would find out about her arrest and write a story about it. So she seemed to be carrying on as usual when it came to being both the child of a Hollywood legend and an aspiring actress. This included her – or a designated social media manager – using her Instagram account to promote an upcoming project and share pictures from her personal life, including a video of the breakfast she appeared to be devouring on Tuesday morning, as she announced, “Time for news.” .”

Now the narrative surrounding the legendary actor/director's daughter is bound to take a negative turn and possibly even stranger. TMZ reported Tuesday that she was arrested Saturday after a verbal argument with her boyfriend turned physical. TMZ said Francesca Eastwood and her boyfriend were driving around Beverly Hills when they started arguing. When things got serious, the friend called the police, who advised him to drive her to the Beverly Hills Police Department to meet with officers.

When Francesca Eastwood and her boyfriend showed up, they each spoke to police, who found physical injuries on the boyfriend, TMZ reported. She was charged with suspicion of domestic violence and has since been released on $50,000 bail.

TMZ has not identified the boyfriend, but Francesca Eastwood's Instagram account has shared images and comments from a personal trainer and actor named Alexander Wraith, with whom she had a baby son in 2018, according to People magazine. However, it is not clear whether Wraith is the alleged victim of Francesca Eastwood's arrest, the Daily Beast said.

Recently, in late September, Wraith defended Francesca Eastwood when she posted a photo of herself in a bikini that, to some observers, looked very thin, even emaciated.

When several followers wrote, “This is worrying” or “scary thin,” Wraith jumped in and wrote, “Guys, I promise you, she doesn't have an eating disorder or (anorexia). We eat McDonald's, pizza, ice cream, bagels and pastries every day. She can't hold the weight. I posted videos of her destroying three burgers in a row as well as fries and a bag of chips. She simply has a very special and fast metabolism. She literally won't stop eating. Lol. I promise you.”

Francesca Eastwood is one of her 94-year-old father's eight known children. She is also the daughter of actress Frances Fisher, whom the actor/director dated in the early to mid-1990s. Fisher had a role in Eastwood's 1992 Western film “Unforgiven,” which won Best Picture and Best Director.

Following family tradition, Francesca Eastwood was also cast in roles in her father's film projects. As a child, she played a role in his 1999 film True Crime and she has a role in his upcoming legal drama Juror #2. Some in Hollywood are wondering whether Juror #2 could be Eastwood's last film. The film is set to hit theaters on November 1st and stars Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, JK Simmons and Kiefer Sutherland.

In 2013, Francesca Eastwood was named Miss Golden Globe after starring in the 2012 reality television series “Mrs. Eastwood and Company,” run by her former stepmother Dina Eastwood and her half-sister Morgan Eastwood. In 2017, she and her mother both starred in an acclaimed episode of Fargo, playing younger and older versions of the same characters.

On Tuesday, around the time TMZ reported news of her arrest, Francesca Eastwood also posted pictures of her with her co-stars in another upcoming film, Queen of the Ring. The biopic looks at the life of Mildred Burke, a wrestler whose career spanned from the 1930s to the 1950s.
