KEY POINTS

  • Florence Pugh's trollers remarked on her breast size
  • Pugh asked her male trollers who posted "vulgar" comments to "grow up"
  • Pugh has been tolled in the past for her relationship with Zach Braff

Florence Pugh stood up to her male trollers who made unwarranted comments about her breast size in an Instagram post.

The English actor wore a sheer pink nipple-baring gown Friday while appearing at Valentino's Fall/Winter 2022 Haute Couture runway show in Rome.

She was joined by Anne Hathway, Ashley Park, Ariana DeBose and Vogue's Anna Wintour at the star-studded event, Just Jared reported.

"Technically they're covered?" she jokingly wrote in the caption of the stunning photos she had shared on her feed. Her fans hyped her, but a section of commenters trolled her, posting remarks about her breast size.

"Technically you r flat," a comment read, another wrote, "man nipple", and a third commented, "But kinda small though. Probably needs attention."

Pugh addressed these comments in a scathing post, asking her trollers, "why are you so scared of breasts?"

She began the post by noting she knew her dress was going to spur opinions and she wasn't nervous about it. She then mentioned the brazen attitudes of certain men while launching attacks on women's bodies.

"What’s been interesting to watch and witness is just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see. You even do it with your job titles and work emails in your bio..?" the actress wrote.

Pugh said it wasn't the first and last time that a woman's body was dissected on social media but she was concerned about how "vulgar" the comments got.

"Thankfully, I’ve come to terms with the intricacies of my body that make me, me. I’m happy with all of the ‘flaws’ that I couldn’t bear to look at when I was 14. So many of you wanted to aggressively let me know how disappointed you were by my ‘tiny tits’, or how I should be embarrassed by being so ‘flat chested,’" she wrote adding she wasn't afraid of her breast size.

"What’s more concerning is…. Why are you so scared of breasts? Small? Large? Left? Right? Only one? Maybe none?What. Is. So. Terrifying." Pugh wrote, and concluded the post asking her trolls to "grow up."

Nicola Coughlan, Joey King, and Jameela Jamil among many other celebrities lauded Pugh for clapping back at her trollers.

This isn't the first time that Pugh faced criticism. She also received flak for dating Zach Braff in the past, Harper's Bazaar reported.
