Florence Pugh lashed out at social media users who criticized her figure, asking, “What happened to you to be so comfortable with being so openly offended by the size of my breasts and physique?”
Florence Pugh has responded to social media fans who criticized her physique after she wore a flimsy dress to a fashion presentation that exposed her breasts.
In a Sunday Instagram post, she justified her choice of attire, stating: “I was thrilled to wear it and not the least bit anxious. I was not before, during, or now after the event.”
The Midsommar actress graced the red carpet at Valentino’s haute couture show in Rome on Friday wearing an eye-catching pink gown, which she said was designed specifically for her by the label’s creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli.
On Saturday, the celebrity asked on Instagram, “Are they technically covered?” In an apparent reference to Instagram’s nudity restrictions, which prohibit photographs of women’s nipples but not men’s, she asked society to “release the f*g nipple.”
The 26-year-old stated on Sunday that she had always expected the feedback, but that she found it “fascinating to observe… just how easy it is for guys to publicly, proudly degrade a woman’s body”
Her Sunday evening post received more than 500,000 likes within an hour of its appearance.
She commented to her 7.4 million Instagram followers, “It isn’t the first time and won’t be the last time a woman will hear what’s wrong with her body from a crowd of strangers. What’s concerning is how nasty some of you males can be.”
Pugh told those who had criticized the size of her breasts that she had come to appreciate “the complexities of my body that make me, me” and that she was now “glad about all of the ‘flaws’ I couldn’t bear to look at when I was 14”.
The actress remarked that the response made her ponder, “What happened to make you so satisfied with being so openly offended by the size of my breasts and physique?”
She “promised,” people who had insulted her that life would become “much simpler” if they respected her body, all women, and all mankind.
