Clint Eastwood’s daughter Francesca makes her first appearance since her domestic violence arrest

Francesca Eastwood made her first public appearance at the 25th annual Newport Beach Film Festival this weekend, just days after she was arrested on domestic violence charges.

The 31-year-old actress looked poised and glamorous as she attended the world premiere of her new film Queen of the Ring, marking her return to the spotlight after the recent legal drama.

Wearing a sleek black turtleneck maxi dress, Francesca paired her look with a wide navy blazer and carried a studded bag to keep her style effortlessly chic.

The daughter of Hollywood legends Clint Eastwood and Frances Fisher looked composed and smiled as she posed for photographers on the gray carpet at the Lido Theater in Newport Beach, California.

Her stylish appearance was put together by Cristina Ehrlich, an acclaimed Hollywood stylist, and ensured that Francesca’s return to the public eye was nothing short of impressive.

This red carpet moment follows her arrest on October 12th for an alleged domestic violence incident in Los Angeles.

Francesca reportedly got into a heated argument with her boyfriend while driving through Beverly Hills, which then escalated into a physical altercation.

The identity of her boyfriend remains unknown, although Francesca was known to have had a relationship with actor Alexander Wraith, with whom she shares a six-year-old son, Titan.

It is unclear if Alexander is the person involved in the latest incident, but following the argument, police were called to the scene and Francesca’s boyfriend was advised to drive to the Beverly Hills Police Department’s safe zone.

Upon arrival, officers discovered visible injuries to her partner, leading to Francesca’s arrest. She was subsequently charged with aggravated domestic violence but was released after posting $50,000 bail. Her boyfriend reportedly refused medical treatment.

Despite the drama, Francesca remained focused on celebrating her latest professional milestone at the Newport Beach Film Festival. “Queen of the Ring” is a biopic about legendary wrestler Mildred Burke, in which Francesca plays the equally iconic wrestler Mae Young.

The actress shared her excitement about the role on Instagram, posting to her 182,000 followers: “I am absolutely honored to play the legendary Mae Young. She is an absolute legend and to say I was nervous would be an understatement.”

On the red carpet, Francesca joined the film’s director, Ash Avildsen, and her castmates, including Damaris Lewis, Marie Avgeropoulos, Emily Bett Rickards, Kailey Farmer and Kelli Berglund.

The group posed together, showing their camaraderie and enthusiasm for the project. The film’s producer, Aimee Schoof, was also in attendance and acknowledged the hard work that went into making this wrestling biopic a reality.

Featuring an impressive cast including Walton Goggins, Josh Lucas and Tyler Posey, Queen of the Ring will shine a spotlight on the incredible lives of women in professional wrestling.

Francesca’s portrayal of Mae Young, known for her groundbreaking career in the wrestling world, has already caused a stir and the actress shared how much she admired the wrestling icon. “Mae is one of the most inspiring women I’ve ever heard of and I wish I could drink some whiskey with you,” she added in her Instagram post. “What an experience.”

This is not the only project that keeps Francesca busy. The actress, who continues to forge her own path in Hollywood, will next be seen in Juror #2, a legal thriller directed by none other than her father Clint Eastwood.

The courtroom drama features a stellar cast including Nicholas Hoult, JK Simmons, Toni Collette and Kiefer Sutherland and is scheduled to hit theaters in both the US and UK on November 1st. Francesca plays Kendall Carter, one of the key characters in the suspenseful plot.

Francesca’s personal life has often been the subject of media attention. In addition to her high-profile relationships with photographer Tyler Shields and actor Clifton Collins Jr., she also had a brief marriage to late manager Jordan Feldstein, which was annulled after just eight days in 2013.

Her relationship with Alexander Wraith, with whom she shares son Titan, has also been in the spotlight, especially since the two reportedly began dating in 2018, while Alexander was still divorcing his wife of eight years, Lili Gaildraud.
