"Bad blood" brewing between Julia and Jyl
9/4/2008 9:47

The ongoing struggles of an in-law are just too much for Julia Roberts to take. According to the National Enquirer, the actress is fed up with her husband Danny Moder's alcoholic sister and her latest cry for help.

When Julia heard news that a fire broke out her sister-in-law's home, she urged her husband not to reach out to his sibling, claims one family insider. His sister Jyl's problems "continually chip away at (Julia and Danny's) marriage." An insider insists, "Some of their biggest fights have been over Jyl."

Jyl's past includes multiple rehab stints and three DUI busts, reports the Enquirer. It's believed she was intoxicated at the time of the latest incident "and accidentally knocked over some candles¡ªlighting a rug on fire."

"Instead of letting Danny rush to his sister's side, Julia put her foot down and insisted his place was with her and the kids." Julia¡¯s even delaying the Moder family's efforts for an intervention, according to the source. "Julia¡¯s making a bad situation even worse. She wants to handle the situation personally¡ªbut not until she's done filming (her latest flick, 'Duplicity')."

Apparently the bad blood's brewed between Julia and Jyl for a long time. "(Jyl's) always thought Julia stole Danny away from his first wife, Vera, and even once called her 'the devil' at a family wedding."
