Melanie Griffith and daughter Dakota Johnson made a rare joint red carpet appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of Splitsville on Aug. 19 at AMC The Grove 14. Johnson wore a strapless silver dress while Griffith wore an all-white suit; they smiled at each other and shared laughs on the red carpet. Griffith shares Johnson with ex-husband Don Johnson; Griffith also has a son, Alexander, with Steven Bauer and a daughter, Stella, with Antonio Banderas. Johnson described Griffith as an open parent about sex and birth control and called their blended family messy but loyal and artistic.
"It was always like, 'Whatever you're into and when you want to have sex, you just let me know and we'll get birth control,'" she said. "It was really healthy, and it made me feel like I was allowed to discover my sexuality on my own, which I think is such a gift," Johnson added.
"No matter how f---ked up it is, or who's in rehab, or who's not speaking to whom, or who's divorcing whom, we're family," she said. "And we are always going to be a family. It's really real. And most of us are artists."
"Even in my adult life and my new family, most of us are artists. Even the kids, they're extraordinarily talented people. So you just are dealing with complex people," Johnson continued. "You grow and you embrace and you say, 'F--k you and f--k off,' and then 'I love you, come back.
