Keira Knightley,Ruper defends Keira KnightleyWhat a true friend indeed! Keira Knightley’s real life partner Ruper Friend has defended her on the recent issue on abusive advertisement. Friend slammed the U.K. advertising company after the actress’ anti-domestic ad was banned from being shown in television.


If you, readers have watched it, it would definitely be a horrible experience for you as it was shown the British beauty being battered by her lover for alleged illegal affair with another co-star. Nah… good thing it was just a promotion because if that was real we know how Ruper Friend would react!

The footage was made to honor the United Kingdom charity Women’s Aid. But too sad a story as it was deemed too violent not suitable for any television showing by advertising approval agency Clearcast.

Meanwhile, Knightley said, “The decision of Clearcast not allowing the ad to hit the screen is ridiculous. I think that banning the promo because it is quite shocking is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. The point here is we want to shock people to face the reality that women are being hit in the modern world. So they would be aware of all of these.”

Anyhow, that is what you call supportive boyfriend or shall I say, a true FRIEND?
