According to The Express on Sunday, Dakota's mom Melanie Griffith is upset that her family isn't supporting her daughter in her breakout role.
"Melanie is bitterly upset that she is the only one standing alongside her daughter. She's told both Don and Tippi [Hedren] that Dakota really can't look at roles and wonder what her dad and grandma are going to think. She believes Dakota was right to seize her opportunity in what will almost certainly become a major international blockbuster."

Yahoo reported earlier this month that Dakota's grandmother Tippi Hedren (Melanie Griffth's mom) said Dakota's dad Don wasn't too happy about the racy role of Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades belonging to Dakota.
"I understand Don Johnson is very upset about her being in the film. He kind of had the same feeling that I did," Hedren reportedly told the Hollywood Reporter's Off The Cuff podcast.
"[Melanie] feels she's in no position to dictate to Dakota what kind of roles she should play and she doesn't think Don and Tippi should either," the source continued. "In fact, she's told them both that they could ruin their relationships with her."
Dakota has admitted she doesn't want her parents to see her in the racy role opposite Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey either. I wouldn't want to watch either of my parents in any film in which they had to take their clothes off."
Fifty Shades of Grey comes out February 2015.
