SCANDAL ROCKS HOLLYWOOD: BENNIFER 2.0 CRUMBLES WHILE CAYLEE COWAN SAVES THE DAY WITH PETA'S VEGAN LEATHER CAMPAIGN

In a shocking turn of events, Bennifer 2.0 has officially crumbled after rekindling their romance over a decade ago. But amidst the drama, Caylee Cowan is making waves in the industry with her latest campaign as the face of PETA's vegan leather initiative. The 27-year-old actress, who's been dating Jennifer Lopez's former brother-in-law Casey Affleck since 2021, has spoken out about how JLo can use her influence to promote a fur-free wardrobe.

In an exclusive interview with The Scholarly Note, Caylee gushed about Jennifer's kindness and generosity, but also expressed her concern about the pop star's past fashion choices. "If Jen made a change and made a stance and said... 'I'm only gonna wear a faux fur. I'm not gonna wear something that's made out of animal skin or animal's fur,' then that would really trickle down to everybody," Caylee said, highlighting the potential impact JLo could have on her massive following.

Caylee's passion for animal rights is no surprise, considering she's been vegan since she was a teenager. Her boyfriend Casey Affleck, who she's been dating since 2021, shares the same values and has even gone to great lengths to care for animals in need. "Casey's vegan," Caylee said proudly. "He's been vegan since I've known him." She also revealed that he once rescued a three-legged dog from the side of a train track and spent an entire day tending to another ferocious pup found tied up on the road.

The couple's love for animal rights has even led them to abandon a hotel in Spokane, Washington, after discovering it was decorated with taxidermy and real furs. Caylee admitted that she had a strong reaction to the "energetically charged" environment, which she believes is linked to her empathetic nature towards animals.

As PETA's newest ambassador, Caylee is promoting vegan leather alternatives through a new billboard campaign in Los Angeles. The eye-catching display features Caylee clad in an opulent red floral gown, surrounded by a tree adorned with red purses and a cow standing nearby. She holds a juicy red apple in hand, highlighting the "magic" of transforming fruit into fashion.

In a whimsical video for the campaign, Caylee explained how plants and fruits can be transformed into faux leather, emphasizing the potential impact on the environment and animal welfare. "If it can be popularized in fashion, then it would make a huge difference not only on the environment but for cows and farming," she said.

Meanwhile, Bennifer 2.0's breakup has left many wondering what went wrong this time around. Caylee diplomatically expressed her admiration for both Jennifer and Ben, but couldn't help but gush about her own relationship with Casey. "Having a grounded relationship is so important," she said. "That's what it's all about." The couple's commitment to each other's values and passions seems to be the key to their success.

As Caylee continues to make waves in Hollywood, one thing is clear: she's not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for what she believes in – even if it means taking on some of the biggest names in the industry. With PETA by her side, Caylee Cowan is ready to take on the world, one vegan leather alternative at a time.
