Julia Roberts’ Sister-In-Law Speaks Out After Domestic Violence Arrest

You can choose your friends… but not your family.

Jyl Moder, sister of Julia Roberts’ husband Danny, was arrested and slapped with a domestic violence charge on July 20 after she got in a fight with her boyfriend at a bar.

Though the charges were allegedly dropped, Jyl has since taken to Facebook to maintain her innocence regarding the “misunderstanding” that she labeled “mortifying.”

“If you did not hear, I got arrested.” She wrote along with some background details of the case, Radar reports.

She added, “Had an argument with my guy and I went to jail.”

Her rant continued, “Because I am related to a celebrity, it got out everywhere. I am not a violent person. People that knew me would say the same. I am embarrassed and mortified. I feel I have to defend myself,” which she died by writing,

“There was no bar fight.”

While the Academy Award winner has yet to comment on her sister-in-law’s arrest, the mother-of-three, 47, and her sister-in-law have a history of tension as Jyl reportedly held Julia responsible for causing the heart attack that led to the death of Jyl and Danny’s mother, Patti, four years prior.
