Was it just us or did the weird tension between Dakota Johnson and mom Melanie Griffith make everyone run away from the TV in discomfort? During a red-carpet interview, Melanie Griffith launched into her undermining “I’m not going to see Fifty Shades of Grey” shtick for the millionth time, but this time, in the most passive-aggressive exchange in television history, Johnson responded with the exaggerated eye roll and snappy comeback of a 13-year-old.
To her credit, Griffith laughed and maintained the frozen smile and clenched jaw of a mom who isn’t going to make a scene right now, but is going to give a certain young lady a very big talking-to when they get home.
